everything he says in this piece is true.

One of many hypocrites creeping out of the woodwork lately .....

And as for prices, well, we're the one's who get stuck with the bill.

May the memory of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev be a blessing for all of us. I look forward to Moshiach and tehias ha-maysim, when they can be united with their families.

There are hundreds of dead Israelis. There are thousands of wounded Israeli due to peres. Our nation faces the worst danger in it's history due to peres,olmert,barak,peretz,livni and ayatollah yusuf of sh-ass.

Peres from the upper levels of corruption

We're a nation of values but also of prices....and theres a price to pay for letting Kuntar go free..... The price for Letting Kuntar go free is going to be very high since Hezbollah will of course use him as a pawn to further prop itself up as well as escalate their own rhetoric to encourage more terror against Israeli soldiers and civilians. The mossad should start planning immediately to hunt down this monster , re-kidnap him and release him to his family, but not before bashing his head on a rock several times. But this time we'll celebrate with parading around on CNN, BBC, etc. with his bloody head on a stick in full view for the arab world to see. Israel will have an even bigger party than we saw in Lebanon today...but we will have done what was right to avenge the Haran killings. Plain and simple.

While I understand the personal need for closure, will this not open the door to more kidnappings? Inspiration for terrorists to take advantage of Israel's weak points? This was a huge, selfish mistake, and the blood of future kidnapped soldiers and terror victims is on Karnit's hands. But at least she - ONE person, who apparently belongs in Canada - will be at "peace" and free to marry someone else.

see how VALUES are calculated, everything has a VALUE. you can buy or sell anything of VALUE even VALUES themselves... with interest get off our backs.. peres

The architect of Oslo, the stauch defende of Arafat now tell us of no price is too high for values? Whose values, you miserable old, miserable, vain man. israel has been paying for your ideas in the blood of their sons and daughters for more than 20 years.

You are as much of a hypocrite as Peres. He has alot of blood on his hands through his appeasing of the terrorists! If you cant see that then you are a fool!

Was this negotiation wise? Why not Gilad first, since he is (still) alive. Why the hurry to swap the bodies, and not negotiating Gilad liberty? Now, for sure, Hezbollah and Hamas, learned that kidnapping pays..and the price will be higher next time... This government gave incentive to kidnap and kill Israeli soldiers... Saving the deaths and condemning the livings

Saul was deemed unfit to be King when he substituted mercy for judgment in dealing with Amalek. So will Israel loose her place among nations if the pablum Peres preaches continues to mislead the nation. My heart goes out to the families, but this national disaster only makes the price for Gilad Shalit higher. The Criminals who brought this upon us, Peres and his left weing ilk, not to forget the Ehudim, must be vomitted out of power for the nation to recover its senses and start fighting back. Mercy is not the face you show to terror. The mind boggles at the idiocy that guides decision making and policy. If values matter, Shimon, why are you not clamoring for Olmert's resignation? The hypocrisy stinks and is destroying Israel.

Talk about values...has anyone looked over the wall lately?

Remember each day the names Shalit, Goldwasser , Regev and Arad. These men died because criminals want to steal their country. We will not give America back to the American Indians. You have more of a right to your country than we do. We pray that someday the IDF will have a goverment that will allow the IDF do its job. How I miss Menachen Begin.

great post

unless he murders another israeli baby. As a matter of fact, the mossad cannot kill Kuntar without breaking Israeli law -- he was officially pardoned by the hypocrite and idiot Peres. That's the price Peres is not talking about, I guess.

he took this from Oscar Wilde "people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing"

Only people who live in some ivory tower OUT OF REALITY can write things like these! The fact is that this shameful exchange endangers US ALL, but especially our kids in uniform. NOT BY CHANCE ALL our intelligence services, ISA, MOSSAD and Army Intelligence, were TOTALLY OPPOSED to this shame! NOW, there is no reason for the Hamas to keep Ghilad Shalit alive: a corpse can be hidden more easily and requires less organization than a prisoner: they can just kill him, cut him up and put him in a freezer. They know NOW that we are ready to release murderers of babies for corpses. NOW there is no reason for our enemies to prepare complicated operations to capture our soldiers alive: they can just throw a few grenades, kill everyone and then take the corpses. Our State has lost the high moral ground and the balls of Entebbe. COUNTLESS people have been murdered because Kuntar was kept alive, instead of executed as the law allows. For one, I just want to remember Leon Klighoffer, ZTUQ"L, HI"D, the paraplegic Jew on a wheel-chair, shot and thrown off the ship Achille Lauro in 1985.

24 hours a day 365 days a year our enemies state their declared intention to destroy us, to kill us and to remove us from the map. Strike first Mr. Peres. Now that's a value, a moral value. Your values about bringing soldiers home is a load of bull because they should not be there in the first place. Right is might Mr. Peres.

Peres is a good man with a good Jewish soul. He is right.

Peres hiding behind the grief of the Goldwasser, Regev families, what values are you talking about? you the father of the new middle east the sooner you are retired to the history books of forgotten failures Israel will be a better place. be clear I mean Peres the politician the cheep trickster Condolences to the families.

was six million. I want a bad Jewish soul that lets us survive and lets our enemies Know what will happen to them if they start with us. I do not want one Kuntar sitting in our prisons, I want them where they belong, not amongst the living.

the arab world does not see israel as a country of values after the exchange with hezzbolla. Israel message to the surrounding countries is that it is a weak nation , a nation that capitulates to its ennemy terms. In the Hezzbollah website 95% of the readers believe Israel is like a spider web.., a giant with clay feet. These deals only strenghten ennemy resolve to continue striking Israel. Peres was wrong when it comes to Oslo, Peres was wrong when it comes to negotiating with Arafat, Peres is wrong now. His policy only strenghten Israel ennemies.
