61. we all want to live in peace
Proud Lebanese ,   Lebanon   (07.16.08)
but we don't want peace to be imposed upon us, this is why we support negotiation many of u have a lot to learn about the lebanese ppl. our media have the freedom to post whatever they wish to post. unlike the totalitarians of arab states, & some of them are israel's allies, we have freedom of speech. we said no to syria and out loud. stop trying to scare us with ur power and weapons and planes n all. u are weaker than the spiderweb. remember who said that?
62. It is downhill from here on...
Dave ,   Chicago, USA   (07.16.08)
meet you in hell...
63. The world should break ties with Lebenon
zach ,   US   (07.16.08)
It is a terrorist state, that has been proven over and over.
64. A kick in the teeth
Edward ,   Kent, United Kingdom   (07.16.08)
This is a terrible day for Israel, a horrific day for the families of the two brave soldiers and a kick in the teeth to decency and the civilised world's morals and ethics. Israel, what has happened to you? Where is your pride? Hezbollah must pay dearly for this.
65. This swap makes every Israeli a future kidnap target
Alan ,   SA   (07.16.08)
66. Wrong Day
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (07.16.08)
If this release of child-killer terrorist had to take place at all, in order to get back the bodies of murdered Jews, it should have happened on this coming Sunday. The date would have been more appropraite.
67. We should bomb the homecoming celebration for Kuntar.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.16.08)
That would be the right response but of course our gutless wonders mistakenly called "leaders" would never have the balls to do it.
68. moral defeat after moral defeat ...
SAD   (07.16.08)
69. sad, sad, sad
gerhard ,   Munich, Germany   (07.16.08)
This deal and its circumstances reveales the dirty and inhumane face of ugly terrorists. Those who celebrate today will be the victims of their deep self-conceit. My cordial compassion for the people, the troops who spent their life in this war and the families.
70. Re: #5: Well put Chaya! (end)
Adina ,   Tzfat, Israel   (07.16.08)
71. I feel anger, disgust and grief
Nick ,   London   (07.16.08)
72. Been thinking....
adina rut ,   Tzfat, Israel   (07.16.08)
You know, maybe the family of the guy who shot the tractor driver/murderer and his brother-n-law who shot the yeshiva bachurim have another family member that could go in there at take care of things for us...Seems they're the only family around here with real sense and backbone, and yirat shamayim.
73. 199:1 exchange still a m'tizyah
JH Abeles ,   East Brunswick, NJ   (07.16.08)
After weeks of discussion in our home, I feel emotional and thankful to Hashem and to Medinat Yisrael now that I read and see photos of the return of the remains of Goldwasser and Regev. Despite the guilt and shame over returning the semi-animal Kuntar, there is now a chance for rest for the dear Regev and Goldwasser families, their friends and families, and for k'lal yisrael the world over. One Israeli is worth 1000 of their prisoners and has received 1000 times the investment of love, nurturing, and education from his family and society. This exchange, in the end, is a bargain for Israel
74. The last straw
Mike Cato ,   USA   (07.16.08)
This is the last straw. It is difficult to conceive of a greater humiliation and political strategic defeat than that imposed upion Israel by this exchange: a blood -soaked terrorist for 2 dead Israelis. I now believe that it is Oldmerde's intention to destroy Israel's identity of a political Jewish state. Those in the IDF who still believe in the possibility that Israel can be saved, must step in order suspend parliament until a new form of democratric system is put in place. But fisrt things first; Oldmerde, Barak, Livni and Co. must all be arrested by the iDF, imprisioned or placed under house arrest. All miliatry decisions must now be made by the iDF only. Yes, a military coup d'etat is the only thing that can save Israel now.
75. #53 Yes we learn't the lesson
mark ,   Jerusalem   (07.16.08)
Bring back the death penalty then there will be no need to kidnap. Your country has not been destroyed by Israel but has been destroyed by your very own people who used your homes to hide weapons and put children infront of guns. When you wake up and stop killing us and leave us alone then we will leave you alone. When you learn to love your children then may be there will be no more murder. There are no virgins waiting in heaven for your sons, your sons will end up in hell. Thats my lesson to you.
76. animals
Nick ,   London   (07.16.08)
I'm sorry to say it but the Lebanese do not value life, they are jealous of what Israel has got and want to take it for themselves but it will not happen. Lebanon could be a great country by itself and be another land of milk and honey but hizbollah are taking it back to the 1980s, they must be happier living in rubble with their rags and dirty beards.
77. This land is never sfae anymore...

78. to all proud Israelis
Proud Israeli   (07.16.08)

79. THIS WAS ABOUT GIVING THE EU A "MEANINGFUL" ROLE
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (07.16.08)
IN MIDEAST PEACE NEGOTIATIONS... THEY ACTUALLY BELIVE THAT DOOING THIS HELPS THEIR LOT WITH THE ARABS PATHETIC....IT'LL BE FUN WATCHING MORE RIOTS, CRIME, STABBINGS, RAPINGS ETC... ENJOY YOUR REAL "MISFORTUNE" EUROPE
80. OLMERT-LIVNI-BARAK-ASHKENAZI IN JAIL NOW !

81. Setting free criminals for two supposedly killed P.O.W. ?
neutralist ,   Holland   (07.16.08)
Setting free criminals for two supposedly killed P.O.W. ? Fine example of assumed political weakness over the backs of ordinary people. It was already known that Western and Western-orientated blue-and black suits sitting in our governments only think about the larger picture. Namely themselves and long time not anymore their primary goal about serving society. Cloaked creation of division is their mission in prolonging and enhancing control over the ordinary people in creating a “new aristocracy”. No crime should be hidden by pretences politics and religion. Not race, free mind and sexe ..............but the systems and individuals with criminal mind. So it is us to do something ......... Israel as political body should be ashamed what it has done for the precedent it created together with some feeble minded Hezbollah. Especially since the 10 commandments are integrated in this region throughout history. About bad minds from some Hezbollah , I don't even want to talk, except that they should burn in hell for eternity together with some Israeli, Western and western-orientated blue-and black-suits........ Life is most precious gift of Universe, no politics and religion is allowed to twist it into a fiery oblivion. So are we going to do something and unite, or sit and squabble like sheep for the slaughter ? Signed, Free mind in this troubled world.
82. We should beat the Hezbullah to the ground.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.16.08)
If “the next attack on Israel is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’” we should not wait. As we have seen in the last Lebanon war, terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of the Israeli society. We should beat the Hezbullah to the ground and make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them. We stand together to win the war against terrorism. We should be prepared to fight them without any other consideration than beat them
83. THIS WAS ABOUT GIVING THE EU A "MEANINGFUL" ROLE
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (07.16.08)
IN MIDEAST PEACE NEGOTIATIONS... THEY ACTUALLY BELIVE THAT DOOING THIS HELPS THEIR LOT WITHT HE ARABS PATHETIC....IT'LL BE FUN WATCHING MORE RIOTS, CRIME, STABBINGS, RAPINGS ETC... ENJOY YOU REAL "MISFORTUNE" EUROPE
84. May the guilt of Kuntar be upon Peres
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (07.16.08)
85. Israel Wake up!!!!
Harry   (07.16.08)
This Gov't has to go and quick. Since the expulsion of gush Katif we have experienced one desaster after another. We are perceived very weak in the arab world. We have to prepare for a major war with all our neighbours. Obviously the corrupt Olmert with his week colleagues will not be able to hack it.
86. 32
Daliya ,   Israel   (07.16.08)
absolutely correct!!!! But it takes judgement and courage which our less than mediocre leaders don't possess.
87. #61
did   (07.16.08)
You don't even begin to understand what peace and democracy mean. Peace cannot be imposed on anyone,let alone the Hisbullah who are a sub-human group of blood-thirsty terrorists. The way they deal in body parts, corpses and death, makes them only into devils at most. They have no human feelings or true religion at all. This is yet another of their immoral "deal" which needs no presenting or explaining because the whole world can understand alone. So, your so-called freedom is a regular joke, at least until Lebanon comes to terms with the disaster and crushes this cancerous group of criminals - Hisbullah, so well rhyming with the Hebrew Misballah (trash).
88. Read this If You have any logic
Lebanese Dude ,   Lebanon   (07.16.08)
My point in this msg is to show ppl how life works...what comes around goes around...its true kuntar is a killer n he is disgusting...hezbullah doesnt represent all the ppl. But when you see little israeli kids signing the bombs & these bombs are reaching our children...what can we call you? or ur 6 yr old kids?...Animals or barbarians or just Jews? Anyway Its not like israel hasn't killed any kids...israel doesn't even know the difference...it just wants to kill arabs...my point is your barbaric stance for the last 60 yrs has created Kuntar n others in the arab world...Lebanon is not about hizbullah .....its everything but hizbullah...our ppl are celebrating not because kuntar is a killer n comin back but because ur pissed off....We lebanese hate u...we have since you came into our land 1982....this is life !!! Just live with it
89. Wickedness
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.16.08)
Most probably, these two soldiers have been dead for some time now. The Arabs knew it, but played a cruel game with our emotions for two years making some believe that they could still be alive. They toyed with us. And we let them. Now, we have two funerals to attend and they have a smirk on their faces having outwitted the Israelis - at least this once. Fortunately, G-d is on our side and will punish in kind the wicked when the time comes.
90. Dumb "exchange"
YedLita ,   USA   (07.16.08)
Why not shoot Kuntar in the head right at the border (and the other 4 criminals) and return them in the same shape our soldiers were returned?
