31. Meanwhile, my son is a "criminal"
Mother ,   USA   (07.16.08)
He served a full tour as a combat soldier in the IDF, but he is being denied Israeli citizenship because he participated in protests against the disengagement of Jews in Gush Katif.
32. Peres, Olmert, Barak = Traitors
Hinda ,   SF Bay Area   (07.16.08)
This "deal" just shows that jewish blood is not worth life to these traitors. May HaShem show his wrath on these who want to destroy Israel and their accomplises. May we, in our lifetime see the Israel of Old, of many heroic deeds and may these cowards who are in government go to the gehenna that they deserve - I spit on these politicians!!!
33. Idiocy and Moral Bankruptcy
Joe K ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.16.08)
Eichmann was hung. Why don't we do the same to murderous terrorists? Is it that our political leaders think it is important to encourage hostage taking to free these monsters? The only justification for releasing this murderer is if a bomb has been placed in his body that can be triggered when he hugs Nasrallah. Any other reason underscores idiocy, moral bankruptcy, and perfidy on the part of our leaders. Why doesn't Nasrallah demand that we forfeit Peres, or Olmert, or Barak? We certainly don't want them, and their policies are just as destructive to our national interests.
34. Peres and Olmert as disgusting as Kuntar
Igor ,   USA   (07.16.08)
And they are already responsible for more Jewish deaths - and many more to come from their insane policies. Kuntar must be sent to Lebanon with 10 kg of liquid explosives inside - to be detonated at the border.

((Israel will end up winning always!!!!!!!!!!!!!)) You keep telling yourself that and enjoy :)))

How can you acquit (not jail for nearly 30 years) compensate, and promote a man who shot a thirteen year old 17 times and say that he'd have shot her if she was three? How can you pardon any of your demonic acts in Lebanon (like Qana, 1996 = 106 dead, hundreds wounded)? I agree: Peres is indeed a monster.
37. If the leaders of the Warsaw ghetto were alive today..
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.16.08)
to see Israel capitulate to sociopathic child-murdering degenerates, they would be the first to say, "We should have let the Nazis finish us off so that this disgusting betrayal of decency and moral courage could never happen. We are ashamed of the 'leadership' of Israel. Our hearts break."
38. Remember....Olmert appointed Peres....not the people!
JAyjay ,   Israel   (07.16.08)
What will Olmert and Peres say when Kuntar murders more Israelis? Sorry? THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THE STATE!!!!!!!!!
39. Peres and Kuntar
Bracha ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (07.16.08)
Has Peres gone mad? He doesn't seem to be capable of being in the position he is in.
40. Peres Should be Jailed
Lee ,   USA   (07.16.08)
Peres should be jailed for treason against the state of Israel and it's people.
41. Sign petition to impeach Peres
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (07.16.08)
42. Shoot Kuntar In The Head & Place Israel's Leaders on Trial
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel   (07.16.08)
IF the leadership do not have the morals to shoot Kuntar in the head on his way across the border, then it is up to others to do so. It would be an act of great bravery and justice!
43. peres
sas ,   israel   (07.16.08)
stop playing an actor an pretending u r sad. go home and stay home. your good days are over.
44. Who ELECTED PEREZ,- WE DIDN'T
Scott ,   Haifa   (07.16.08)
45. Procedural Bureaucratic so-called pardon...
Sally Forth ,   Jerusalem   (07.16.08)
To the TBers who are questioning the pardon signed by President Mr. Peres... Please do be aware that President Mr. Peres met with the families of those murdered by Kuntar before signing the so-called pardon. Please do be aware that President Mr. Peres sent a letter to Minister of Justice, Mr. Friedman, in which he (Mr. Peres) clearly states that he signed the pardon because it was a necessary bureaucratic procedure and that he (Mr. Peres) in no way pardons or forgives Kuntar for his heinous crimes. The last line of Mr. Peres letter reads: "I do not forget and I do not forgive" It is clear that President Mr. Peres wrote this letter in order to make it very clear to all that he signed the so-called pardon of Kuntar in order to expediate the return of Goldwasser and Regev. So as far as I understand the TBs against President Mr. Peres are out of line....to those TBers I say please do consider carefully reading all of the information before making superfluous comments.
