THE CELEBRATION OF LEBANESE CITIZENS ONLY SHOW HOW "CIVILIZED" IS THAT SOCIETY, THAT PRICE MURDERERS. SEEING THE HEALTH STATUS OF PRISONERS EXCHANGED AND THE ATTITUDE OF ISRAEL SHOWS THE MORAL STATUS OF ISRAEL AND HOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE LIFE. I AM NOT A JEW BUT I ASSUME IT HAS TO DO WITH THAT RELIGION VALUES.

NEKAMA

You released a sworn enemy for the bodies your dead soldiers. I don't entirely understand why you did it, other than that you place too much valuation on the dead and not enough on the living. Now you have to endure seeing Lebanon celebrate the liberation of a man you clearly hate. But then, didn't you just celebrate your 60th anniversary? And all those Palestinians had to watch, as they mourned their Naqba. All the anger you feel now, seeing your enemies celebrate... maybe it will help you understand the anger of the Arabs at the humiliation and dispossession of their people. The suffering you endure today is an everyday event for them. You should find better common ground than this to understand each other. Good luck with that.

makes you beleive that we are annexed by Iran. Iran is the only country who supports Lebanon and the freedom figthers. We thank them in every event and we will stand behind them if the US or the so-called Israel strikes them...We are brothers in religion, this is somehting people lik you cannot understand. All what fools like u can say that Iran and Syria are bla bla bla, the war took place between Lebanon and Israel and the bottom line is that we won and you LOST, not only lost but heavily defeated, a defeat that will mark a new era in the history of ur state. Hezbollah have grown stronger and stronger in the last 2 years. We Lebanese people all stand behind him and will continue supporting him as long as we live!!!!!

Mr. Barak your withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 opened a path to heaven for Hezbollah. Mr. Olmert YOU! Missing your targets in 2006 gave Hezbollah the glory in heaven. Your target was supposed to be Damascus & Tehran not Lebanese infrastructure. Now releasing criminal Kantar you handed Hezbollah the key to heaven. What have you done Israel? It is shameful what is going on in Lebanon today but it is regretful that Israel has emboldened the terrorists. Wake up Sharon the boys are loosing the game.

how pathetic you two are. Kuntar is a disgrace to any normal human. you two are not much better. just pathetic.

Following the last war in Lebanon, Israel will have to draw certain major lessons to ensure its long-term strategic survival. What is needed now, immediately and urgently, are thoughtful and coherent guidelines concerning national defense, deterrence, targeting and even preemption (anticipatory self-defense). It is no longer adequate for Israel (more or less capably) to merely stumble from one war to the next without an appropriate “master plan” for direction. Armed with such a framework of expanded conceptual understanding, the Jewish state could quickly begin to deduce pertinent tactics and policy options to match particular situations and crises. In the near-term, of course, the need of both nuclear war avoidance and counter-WMD terrorism. The war against Hizbullah does not concern Israel only, as explained at: http://xrl.us/kkxrc

Sabra and shatila massacers with the help of sharon or is it children from other faith do not count hypocracy prevail in the mind of those who try to suck up for the boss tea any one?

may forgive them. He may also teach them lessons, but never bless them. Hmm.. Makes you wonder eh.

Samir Kintar was 17 years old when he killed the 4 year old Israeli child and that was very wrong and even a crime. However, at that time Kintar was a teenager who behaived unbalaced and creazy behiaviours. But whats about IDF soliders who killed many 1 to 4 year old Palestinians childs intentionally and with cold blood. Some of them were killed while their mothers were carrying them in the what called IDF operations. Those IDF soliders who killed childs intentionally in many occasions were grown men whose age was in the 20th and 30th and they killed intentionally palestinians kids without any punishment from Israeli governments , however, they were hounered and considered heros. Samir kintar spent 30 years of his life in Israeli Jails which is more than enough punishment for 17 years old teenager who made a crime, but Israeli Soliders who killed Palestinian and Lebanees childs never be questioned or punished. So, Israeli people behaive on double standard, they consider our fighters who killes Israels are killers and their soliders who kill palestinian childs are heros. Is this fair ?????????

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.

You expect these savages to behave like this. Well, so much for justice. Israel is on the brink of losing all moral justification for its existence. The 6 Million should be rolling in their graves over this abomination, this outrageous cowardly act. None of you are safe any longer, and know well, your "government" will not protect you or your loved ones any longer. This is beyond a shandah! This is sin in the flesh! You Goddam COWARDS!

murderers will meet the same fate as this scumbag should have. death by needle/beheading/or perhaps crushing in of the skull as he did to a 4 year old. These people who celebrate are savages. They need to be removed from the face of this wonderful earth as we would remove any vermin or cancer or plague. They are a plague among us. They do not deserve to live.

I sometimes wonder what it was like to be a Roman just before the fall say 470 AD. You didn't know exactly when it would end. You didn't know you only had six years left. The horde is at the gates, you know everything that is yours is under threat. Your weman and children raped and killed, your property destroyed .... everything threatened. Your payments seem to have less and less effect at holding the horde at bay. What do you do? It is A.D. 475, for the Israelis ... that much is clear. If you are an Israeli heed this. Stop listening to what other interests tell you to do for your surviavl. The horde will not show you mercy. Your children and wives will be raped, and killed, your property destroyed and taken from you, and you too will cease to exist exept in memory. Do what is in your interests for your survival, because in the end you will have what you can hold. Your enemies within' and without should be made to understand this again.

If southern Lebanon and its citizens want war the governance and ownership of the land should be at risk. If they choose to risk thier territory with another open conflict perhaps the only answer is for Israel to anex it and populate it under Jewish controll. This is how wars are ended. This goes for "Palestine" too by the way. Then the defeated can can resort to begging like the Syrians. Seems so logical how can the chessmasters in charge of affairs in the west not have figured that out.

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.

Those of you who watched on TV the brief appearance of Nasrallah the RAT to celebrate Kuntar the monster's release would have noticed just how nervous he was and how he could not wait to dissapear from the stage and let the TV screen continue his speach. Here is for you the MIGHTY VICTOR: A HIDING RAT.

Marvin,sadly this is not a country that I remember and defended.You fight fire with a fire.Not today.Don't blame Olmert for all sins.Blame the people who elected him.Sad day for me personally.

For some reason,our God forgot about us for the last few thousand years.Maybe we have to revaluate our values.Don't be naive.You think anyone cares about us?.

I am so ashamed of Lebanon and its (lack of) leaders. In this country, killers are celebrated. I left almost 20 years and every time I hear or read such a story, I am reminded of the lack of civility, community, human rights, ... all the things that made me want to leave Lebanon. I am concerned that this will embolden the them(terrorists, Syria and Iran) against Israel. However, I admire and can understand the Israelis for working and caring to bring all their fellow countrymen home. I pray that Arad's fate and whereabouts will be known next.

It seems like a good time for the lebenese to start up with each other again. That makes for good T.V.

WHO EVER ISRAEL IS GETTING THERE ORDERS FROM SHOULD BE SHOT PLAN AND SIMPLE.

if i ever see him in lebanon,ill kill him myself,,we dont support people who kill 4 year old girls,maybe qantar after he is free will run after cockroaches,kill them and claim victory

The exchange of dead soldiers for live terrorists gaurantees that future Israeli soldiers will be tortured and murdered. After all it does not matter to Israel whether the soldier is alive or dead in regards making an exchange.

Not only Kuntar family, not only Sheikh Nasarallah but whole country is sick and wicked! With them sick are Palestinians Abbas, Haniyeh and their people, Include in the gang Ahmadinejad and his gang, all are sick. Such wicked community in the neighborhoods is grave danger. Remove their leaders and community will get a good dose and get cured. Hoapfully!

Until today u beg about emotianal support and pretends to be the victim. You say " all we want is to live as a free people in the lands of our ancestor"! Who have forbiden you? When you humiliate the Palestinians as you have done for nearly 60 years what do you expect? Your wish to live as free people will be granted once you return the land that you stole and took by lies. The Arabs have offered you deals to have peace with everyone, but your greed is what keeps you away from your dream as free people, remember you can't have it both ways, and what land is your ancestor from? Monopoly just for jews?. By the way just for your note, cristians are also arabs with the feeling of arab nationalism..........

I totally agree with you. Israel now has the opportunity to unmask the evil that is Samir Kuntar. They should release some of the gruesome images of the crime scene and juxtapose them with the celebratory scenes from Lebanon and most of all, the photo of Mahmoud Abbas congratulating the murderous bastard.

How do you explain that to them? From what I've seen they've never been prouder. I'll never forget how the Lebanese took the opportunity on the last day before the trade to tell the two Israeli families that one of their sons was alive. Just to torture them 'til the last minute. I can only pray Israel's next leaders will have the coconuts to make Lebanon suffer.

This two-bit murderous thug is running circles around the Olmert government. And you want to sell it / spin it as a VICTORY?! You got two corpses and gave up a child-killer! I thought Jews were supposed to be SMART and GOOD at business! BULL! You just committed every future Israeli captive to death at the hands of the enemy. Why should they keep them alive? Answer: You should have given back Kuntar 30 years ago.... in eight body bags.

let`s start by saying that all what did happen during the time where that peanut grower(you know who)did let down the shah of Iran -the US had a chance to liquidate all those bastards before even the revolution would take place -as a result the world is suffering and the world is blind-but the time is coming -dont fool yourselves-Israel will stand tall once again and will finish you once for all those lowlife bastards-Israel is capable of leveling Iran in less than an hour and you garbage of the world go and hide like rats -come out from your holes and fight -you cowards
