1. OH PLEASE
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (07.16.08)
go bore someone else with your hollow phrases that only apply to your fellow Herzelists. There are to many people sick and tiered of all these falsehoods, arrogance and stupidity that only leads to more bloodshed and pain. All you care about is media attention and your ego, you do not give a damn about us.
3. that old FOOL
Simion ,   Irvine, USA   (07.16.08)
as long as it somebody else'e lives thatr are taken, we have "moral" victory? Old GALUT attitude! few Jews are dead, but we are alive and well, are we not ! Therefore we won! How many more? this old time leadership (so-called "leaders") is ready to sacrifice many more Jews! and there will be more, BUT: we will have a moral victory! Are not we great and should not the world appreciate Jews! Wonderful, indeed !
4. Morally bankrupt
USA   (07.16.08)
There is no morality in this, but immorality of the worst kind. Any moral leadership will give dead bodies for dead bodies. bones for bones, an eye for an eye. Shut up and don't say nothing, idiot. Your society makes me sick. Let it be understood loud and clear that any Israeli captured by it's enemies will surely return home, in a coffin.
5. Shimon - you are an utter disgrace to the Jewish people
Israel   (07.16.08)
You should have been in the back of the Red Cross van that was escorting Kuntar back to Lebanon. I hate you for what you have done.
6. Peres talks about morals? Sigh...
Ariel ,   Not there   (07.16.08)
7. This was a disaster.
Stop the Bull   (07.16.08)
A truly Jewish government would have executed this murderer and his ilk, as it clearly says - when one comes to kill you, kill him first. It would have been less painful to see Kuntar returned in a pine box. It's time to subject all terrorist to the death penalty. In addition, to prevent the High Court/media from interfering, all terrorist should be under the sole jurisdiction of the IDF. Furthermore, a real Jewish government, would have put a bullet in Kuntar as soon as they realized that our boys were killed. This one action would have restored some Jewish pride to our people.
8. You can only have a moral victory against moral people
jK ,   Europe   (07.16.08)
You can only have a moral victory against moral people. The whole notion that you can gain leverage by morality only matters within a group that is moral itself. Look at the pictures from Lebanon - do they care about moral superiority? Nope. Murders are free, violence can start. Churchill said: You can't be a gentleman towards barbarians! Take that, Olmert & Peres.
9. WITH SUCH A GOVERNMENT, MORAL VICTORY IS CERTAINLY NOT OURS.
Gideon   (07.16.08)
10. Capture or Dead
Adrian Rod ,   Philadelphia PA USA   (07.16.08)
The only victory is when all the terrorists are captured or killed, otherwise they will live to fight another day.
11. "Morality"! Haha! Be quiet old fool!!!
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (07.16.08)
Morality is good. Sure. And being alive, strong, well and victorious s also good - right? Since when is dead a good state of being? I prefer to be "immoral" but alive, then dead and "moral". What about alive AND moral? Why do we have to make this choice?
12. "moral" victory for you and "morale" victory for Hizbullah
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (07.16.08)
13. This guy must b demented...
Shimshon   (07.16.08)
14. moral victory
marcel   (07.16.08)
Peres started this whole busines back in oslo 1194 days. He's totally detached from reality and that's why he can say -I had no idea that hamas would launch rockets from areas we withdrew from. He was never elected to any PM ship because of his defects. Unless Israel gets rid of olmert, it is doomed to destruction.
15. keeping the pain alive
elie ,   sb california   (07.16.08)
Only by making us suffer can this tstyle of leadership survive. "How sad, look at me, I'll protect you, next time". Judiasm does not support human sacrifice.
16. Morality and murder
James Finnergan ,   Boston, Mass. USA   (07.16.08)
Pere's moral victory has unleashed Hamas killers to wreak havoc and murder on Israel with renewed vigor. It is an unthinkably stupid act to trade two dead soldiers for live murderers sworn to Israel's destruction.
17. What does old Uncle Shimmy know about Morality
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (07.16.08)
When he does nothing to free Jonathan Pollard? When he protects the corrupt Olmert? When he does nothing for the homeless of Gush Katif? When he pardons Arab murderers and leaves Jews languishing in jail?
18. great sadness
caroline ,   capetown   (07.16.08)
and yet you as a nation continue to alow olmert the ephimanes to be yor leader. a failure at war and a lover of the good life. he sits at home tonight and says.. too bad how sad and and then lights up another foul cigar.when wil this nation regain its shame? such folly.
19. the cedars of lebanon.
caroline ,   capetown   (07.16.08)
it seems as if israel no longer sees the wood for the trees, never mind my forest in tzora. keep olmert and yes, the nation is DOOMED.
20. Peres means "bearded vulture" in Hebrew
Jake   (07.16.08)
21. Mr. Peres, take your morality and stick it
where your ,   head is!   (07.16.08)
22. I would rather have a military victory than
Allan ,   US   (07.17.08)
a moral victory any day of the week. A military victory sends the clear message of don't f***k with me again lest you want to suffer complete annihilation. Claiming a moral victory is nothing but justifying failure.
23. Peres
JAyjay3 ,   Israel   (07.17.08)
This pathetic traitor is alwyas asleep at the job! Heres proof: http://flickr.com/photos/freejay3/2641877479/
24. It was immoral to release Kuntar "abomination" is the
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (07.17.08)
appropriate word. YOU have undermined the rule of law in the land of Israel
25. Hot Air
Israeli/American Exp ,   NYC/Tel-Aviv   (07.17.08)
Moral victory doesn't mean shit when you are DEAD!
26. The Holocaust was a moral victory
Thomas Lowinger ,   New York, USA   (07.17.08)
The holocaust was a big moral victory too, but moral victories don't count, unfortunately.
27. moral victory
boris ,   nyc, us   (07.17.08)
according your logic, peres, holocaust is a moral victory for jews too. israel became a death cult country long time ago, go down to these exchanges in the history of israel; sharon - 450 terrorists for 3 bodies of soldiers and a criminal; 1980 -1000 terrorists for 3 bodies of soldiers and so on.
28. Peres-moral victory.
David ,   Canada   (07.17.08)
Nice guys finish last!
29. The Infamous Day that EVIL, Terrorism and MURDER Triumphed
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.17.08)
Kidnapping and savage murders are massively rewarded. I wept bitter tears. Israel's despicable government has made a wicked agreement with murderers. Every one of their victims, every victim of the violent worldwide jihad against innocents - every murder victim slain since the creation of man has been betrayed. The blood and suffering of the future victims of the freed terrorists is on the heads of Israel's government. G-D will hold them accountable.
30. Peres is clinically insane
Yanni   (07.17.08)
The emperor has no clothes, he needs to be retired to a nice rest home for the mentally labile.
31. Moral victory
ROBERT STEVENS ,   US   (07.17.08)
By this "logic", I suppose the Holocaust was another "Moral victory". No thanks!
