Olmert & Barak. People who care about heros are invited the funerals for heros traitors are held back by the security services. Neither Olmert or Barak had a right to deals like this which is eventualy only going to cost more Israeli lives because wherby we only try to win the popularirty vote the terrorists play to win and in their book that means destroying Israel. If Olmert was so concerned about dead soilders why is it in 2007 he refuse to attend the 1 year memorial service for the soilders who died in Lebanon? Why is it later that year he refused to attend an award ceremoney where medals were issued to survivors of Lebanon for their acts of heroism? Olmerts official reason at that time was that he was to busy. I have never yet heard of an Israeli PM that refused to come to a 1 year memorial service to soilders killed in war or PMS who have simply said I am busy so I cant come to an award ceremony to honour the heros. in a palestian village the government was recently informed that in a muslim cemetary in this vilage is a millitary officer from the war of indipendence. Nobody is offering ti trade his remains the vilagers are saying come dig him up abd rebury him in Israel guys he doesnt belong here. The government position so far is that as he has no living relatives in Israel they will leave him where he is .. a muslim cemetary in a palestian village. Cant try gain a political victory by taking the remians of a jewish soilder to rebury him in Israel if there are no negotiations and making painfull concesions that you can make politcal capital out of.

they were heros of israel ======== augustine e johnson-usa

Celebrating the return of a super murderer is a testimony to the triumph of evil and barbarism in Lebanese society. Their country will remain divided and controlled by ruthless powers for as long as they welcome the devil into their midst. I wish there was a way to show ordinary Lebanese how prosper their neighbor to the south is, and what is possible to achieve even during 100 years of continuous war. Perhaps they will realize that their “victory” is fake and that their moral wickedness is the true cause of their failing society.

curse on the land. The blood cries out from the ground. When Cain murdered his brother Abel, the blood of Abel cried out from the ground and caused Cain to be cursed since Abel was innocent. God did not put the guilty one to death, but put a mark on his forehead to warn anyone who killed him, a seven fold curse would fall on that person. So from the beginning, there was no death penalty. When Absalom, David's son killed his half brother Amnon for raping Absalom's sister Tamar, David did not put Absalom to death. Instead, he was comforted by the death of Amnon who was guilty of rape and deserved to die. David had a heart after God's own heart, so he forgave Absalom as God forgave Cain. The laws of Moses were not the rules from the beginning, but were needful at that time. I have watched murder trials on television, some that lasted for months. I believe innocent people are sometimes convicted. To put them to death would bring a curse on the land. The Governors of Ilinois and some other States suspended the death penalty after many people convicted of murder were found innocent by DNA tests. Sparing a guilty person rather than to risk killing an innocent one is the goal of governments that do not have a death penalty. Today, the guilty went free and the innocent came home in coffins. God spared Cain's life and let him go free, too; but that does not mean Cain was saved eternally. He went to hell in all likelihood, while Abel went to heaven.

long time before you bother to write another talk back. Also, he wasn't talking about routine capital punishment, but rather capital punishment in the most aggregeous cases such as terrorism. You are worried about putting an innocent terrorist to death? How can you be innocent if you come into Israel to commit murder and mayhem. BETTER GET THE GUY AN ACLU LAWYER. No one was talking about capital punishment for ordinary murders nor on circumstantial evidence. Will you ever get a grip on what is really being said. Illinois and the American justice system has no bearing on this situation.

by all means you have the right to to kill him first ... and hopefully you do. No CIVILIZED OR SAIN nation sees it otherwize.

It would be hard to say that this deal was the most stupid thing done by our non-government because it does one stupid thing after another and continually reduces our deterrence. So much was given for two corpses that the price for a living prisoner will now probably be so high that Israel will unwilling or unable to pay it. One can only hope that Shalit will not pay for the return of the corpses in the same way that Ron Arad did. Mike

if Nasralla is a war criminal , what do u call Israel leaders and Shron , how many children they killed.

Super Murders of Israel are heros for Lebanon , of course Israel Heros are Murders and Killers for Lebanon , so we must chang our thought and think in peace , why we started the war , what is the result of war ,

So defending yourself is the same thing as trying to kill someone. Amazing. No wonder you people aren't getting anywhere with logic like that. They intentionally come here to kill women and children. Women and childlren get in the way when retalitory action is necessary and better yet, they the terrorists are often hiding behind them or transporting bomb vests in their midsts. YOUR TWISTED LOGIC MAKES ME AND OTHERS SICK. You people have a very strange way of trying to get respect.
