Who will take this revenge? The courageous Ehud Olmert? The brave Ehud Barach who runs away at the sight of blood? President Peres who signs pardons for terrorists but not for Jews? Justice Minister Freidman who rather go against his principles than resign? Amir Peretz the gormless former defense minister who sent our soldiers there? Maybe Flyboy Dan Halutz who was busy selling his stocks? I know mabe Kunta Kinte Kuntar, yeah we will send him back to extract revenge on those who likked our soldiers! And upon whom will we take revenge? on Nassrallah who is laughing in our faces and getting the better of the swap deal? My heart goes out to the Goldwasser and Regev families but they will not get the revenge they seek unfortunately

Whatever he did do, was bad enough. Almost 150 Israelis were killed because he fought the war against a tiny group of terrorists with silk gloves and lost after all. Forget it. Don't expect anything from this government, except for "goodwill gestures" of releasing terrorists and providing them with weapons and armored trucks. That's the best Israel's government can do for the past 2.5 years. You'd be better off fighting to overthrow this government than to have them do anything positive for Israel.

Rank: Staff Sergeant Unit: Nachal 931 Place of incident: Nablus Description: We sit and rest in one of the Arabs’ houses – sit on a couch – and in front of us there is this old woman. Really old, probably scratching 80-90, or so. She is giving us this look… that says, I imagine: “You came into my house, blew it up, now you’re on my couch. What are you waiting for – for me to serve you something to drink?” And the two guys sitting next to me – guys from the engineering platoon – were paying this game of… I don’t remember [what they called it] on the old woman. So I say: “Come on guys, get a life… to role up paper-balls from papers that were laid there, and throw them on her – have some respect.” And they say: “respect for whom? For a Shahid’s [suicide bomber] mother?” –“it doesn’t matter, a Shahid’s mother or not, this is an old woman in front of you – an old person in front of you. It doesn’t matter what this person’s repertoire is.” And I remember their looking at me with this amazed look of “Where have you come from? Where have you landed on us from? Are you with us? Where were you born? Where…” Their gaze just told me: “It is not that we… Where did you grow up?” such a horrified look of: “What?! What does this mean - throwing papers on a person… We are throwing papers on an Arab. There is a big difference.” I can’t tell you that I saw people who just molested others – if I ever saw it, for at the Nahal it is a bit different – among other things because the little difference I [my presence] would make at this checkpoint, that arrest, that patrol… I tried to prevent this kind of things from happening, but I came home for the weekend – after that time in Nablus – that weekend I went to the ‘prayers-road’, and I remember getting back home and feeling so dirty, so defiled. I am not sure if I remember correctly, I think I got home on the verge of tears, or even crying for those three days in Nablus – just going from one house to the next, and blowing house after house.

is about to pardon Kuntar. WHY? Why does he have to pardon a convicted murderer, who was convicted to life in prison for the murder of Israelis? I don't understand this. Kuntar is going to be released into the wild (literally) - and not only that, he leaves Israel with a fucking handshake and a pardon from our president?!?!?!?!?!?! Am I the only one who can see out utterly outrageous this is? No-one has any information (or so they claim) on Ron Arad – and no-one knows which one of our soldiers is supposedly dead. But of course the government, in their typical caring and passionate way, didn’t think to get the answers for the families before prostituting themselves to Hezbollah. The whole thing makes me wanna vomit - into Shimon's lap.

If Olmert cares so much about Israeli soilders then why doesnt he explain why he snubbed the first anivesery memorial service for the soilders who died in Lebanon in July 2007 as did Dan Halutz and president elect Peres and Peretz only went at the last minute. In September 2007 there was an award service to decorate soilders who had fought in Lebanon but once again Olmert didnt attend saying he was to busy. Now he cares so much about soilders who died in Lebanon he is willing to trade living child killers for 2 corpses.

Richard, your complete non-sequitur got me thinking. All this time since I read the B'Tselem report, I've had some trouble getting my mind around the mindset of these soldiers, the perpetual victim mentality. But I gotta tell you, if I ran into an anti-semitic shite like yourself in the street trying to connect the suffering of the families of Hizbullah's captives to the suffering of West Bank palestinians under our rule, I'd still kick your teeth in.

We should return a walking corpse to the lebanese. Maybe now, Israelis will start to see that peres is the biggest enemy to the state of Israel. We will soon be rid of olmert,but peres will stay on for years. peres will spread his poison and work to weaken us and strengthen his arab terrorist allies.

Israel should not permit any human right idiots be in Israel, because they are all anti-israeli and pro-islamofacismo

WE WILL GIVE THEM MORE LIVING TERRORISTS Allready Olmert has promised Abbas as a goodwill gesture he intends to release more terrorists unconditionly. Today the best policy is the policy of surrender dont fight your enemies to stand up for Israels interests cut a deal and allow Israel to be taken advantage of. Can anybody seriously imagine Entebbe happening today our politicians would be more worried about the possible effects of diplomatic fall out with Uganda. They would be saying to the terrorists give us a list of your demands and we will agree to them to the letter. If the current generation of politicians were around 60 years ago we would be appologising to the arabs and giving them compensation for their distress because we even considered the idea of a jewish state and instead to make them feel better we will send all the Holocaust survivors back to Europe and forget all these ideas a jewish state.

you can take the the Jew out of the shtetl, but you can"t take the shtetl out of the Jew--which is why the Jews are lost.
