1. Why
Seth Levy ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
Why do you continue to make this man a celebrity? Why do you reprint his vile words?
2. During all these years, he learnt something abouit us!
Daniel ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
3. The 4 yr old girl smashed ...
Ben ,   London, UK   (07.18.08)
... her own head on the rock repetitively. If you did not loose touch with reality, it will be hard to live with the fact that you committed such a despicable act, especially when you reach the age of 40 or 50, because you may then mature enough to realize how much of a monster you had been at 17-20. Zionist propaganda ... ; is the equivalent of the ancient old excuse for the "Jews are responsible for". Famine, the Jews; Pest, the Jews; Weather, the Jews; Recession, the Jews; Misery, the Jews; War, the Jews; Capitalism, the Jews; Communism, the Jews; Jesus, the Jews; And on and on we go ...

(07.18.08)
Wow, soon he'll want to convert and make aliyah!!!
5. About time we heard his side of the story
Jay ,   USA   (07.18.08)
6. If Kuntar was truly innocent
(07.18.08)
there would be no shortage of lawyers, professors, and rights groups in Israel defending him.
7. Stupid Israeli media making celebrities out of terrorists
How low can you go?   (07.18.08)
have you no shame? Stop the circus, I'm sick of seeing his big ugly FAT! face all over the media!
8. #5
Jay3 ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
Your an idiot if you believe a terrorist.. Did the girl smash her own head into smithereens?
9. HUGE DIFERENCE BETWEEN US
ASHER ,   ISRAEL   (07.18.08)
I think that the world saw this week which people is indeed animals and which is uman being.
10. Asher, yes the world saw how much stupid is your government
Observer   (07.18.08)
for going to war and accomplishing nothing.
11. Well at least he knows he is a soulless beast
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.18.08)
If he feels a need to disavow brutally murdering a child then at least he have a feeling that something is evil in the act. Too bad that makes no difference to the Arab world who has called him a hero. Ironic that the soulless beast has gained enough humanity while a captive to become better than the society he came from.
12. murderer
Elie ,   Lebanon   (07.18.08)
I am Lebanese and this man is a ruthless murderer who desearves the chair. After the prisonners, and Shebaa, Hizbollah will want to free Palestine ..After that Sudan.. watch out! Then Mars from the Zionist aliens from Neptune. I just want to live to the day I see my Lebanese government grow some balls and tell Hassan Nassrallah to go "do stuff to" himself .
13. The Real Difference
Brenda ,   London, Canada   (07.18.08)
The real difference is Israel wants peace. Hezbollah and Hamas can take the road of peace. They can seek change by peaceful means. What has war achieved?
14. The difference between them and us, Jay #5
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.18.08)
We behave with dignity and value life. They behave like barbarians and have no respect for life, or for that matter, anything. They are probably the only self-destructive people in the world! The only thing they understand is violence and if talkbackers like Jay #5 don't realize this well, Jay, keep a good lookout for low flying aircraft! Jay, little Einat Haran did not put her DNA on his rifle butt! His side of the story is kill, kill and kill and he has vowed to continue killing! Do you dispute this too, Jay? If so, please replay his statement during the celebrations with Nasrallah yesterday!
15. YNET trying to humanize a monster to compensate for bad deal
Judith ,   NY   (07.18.08)
Leftist media suport for dead corpses for terrorists failed to take into account the ramification for the state of Israel & all jews beyond the Regev & Goldwasser family. Letting Kunter free tells the world Jewish blood is cheap, emboldens the enemies to take more hostages & kill them in captivity. History already proved the freed terrorists continue to kill jews, too. Yes, the media is complicit in these pusillanimous, appeasing deals. where the dignity?
16. enough
naomi ,   israel   (07.18.08)
can't he just be happy that he is back to lebanon and be quiet about it? thats true and nice what he sais. but can't we just not hear about him anymore and be over this whole calvary?
17. Kuntar
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
Look at him after almost 30 years in Israeli prison!!! A picture of health! I wonder how many times Israeli leftists visited him in prison, anxiously seeing to it that he, God forbid, doesn't lose weight. And he had plenty of time to read, got books, maybe even education. Didn't waste his time, spent it better than would have in Lebanon.

Rosie ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
So what?!
19. 11
JIP ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
"Humanity....... become better" ???????????
20. Humans Vs. Animals
Gazan ,   Gaza   (07.18.08)
I, sort of agree, that Israel treats its Jewish citizens in a moral way, but they have been dehumanizing the 4 palestinian millions as well as its own arab israeli citizens for years. Could any of you imagine how the life of 1.5 Gazans is because of the Israeli severe seige that lasted for more than 2 years so far. Let's not talk about humanity. Israel has refused to let thousands of desperate and seriously sick people and never felt any sort of responsibility when hearing the news of their deathes. And let's not forget the thousands of students who lost their future cuz Israel keeps banning them from travelling.
21. 12
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
And do you see it happen in foreseeable future?
22. 14
JIP ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
They are not SELF-destructive, they are destructive. Israelis screwed by leftist do-gooders are SELF-destructive.
23. This monster blames father...
Rehavam ,   Israel   (07.18.08)
<> what a scum...
24. To Kuntar the lier
Nora ,   Telo Aviv   (07.18.08)
Little Einat Haran`s DNA was recovered on your rifle`s butt, remember ? When you were released you said that now you wanted to raise a family, remember? Kuntar, get rid of your Hizballah uniform quick, otherwise your lies will kill you.
25. Insightful observer #10
Ben ,   London, UK   (07.18.08)
Next time Israel will be attacked, I hope its retaliation will accomplished something. And then we'll look for your fair and insightful comments. Keep up the good work!
26. 21
Elie ,   Lebanon   (07.18.08)
Unfortunately, the more "divine victories" nassrallah accumulates, the louder he barks about the "resistance" (Islamic before being remotely Lebanese)'s "divine " weapons. The only way I feel we can hope to achieve a lasting peace in the region is not through bloodshed. The way I see the "prisonners" exchange deal is a first step in alienating hizbullah's weapons. The Shebaa farms are next since the issue was -unsurprisingly- brought up. Add to that the peace talks with Syria, which won't be in Hiz's best interest, if they were to be fruitful. Again, maybe it's just wishful thinking. I think we should start with ourselves and those around us. Bloodshed will only lead to more bloodshed. Personally I've had enough. I'm 26 years old and spent most my life frustrated seeing how cruel human beings can be towards each other. We are all, in the end, citizens of this Earth, and of the same flesh and blood.
27. ...and OJ Simpson didn't kill his wife
Elianah ,   London, Uk   (07.18.08)
Yeah right!
28. Yes Kuntar killer civilians, but it is the time to remember
Palestinian   (07.18.08)
that all acts of barbaric behaviors must stop... We should recall that much before Kuntar rose to the seen the number of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians who were killed was in the tens of thousands... Mostly of course innocents.... All lives are equal... No one is better than the other... We are all human beings, we all deserve to live the best of the life, and to die in dignity.
29. #26, Elie from Lebanon
Alex ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.18.08)
After seeing your PM and President greet Kuntar and the others so warmly and lavishing them with praise, my mind has been changed about "the rest of Lebanon". One thing is to pay lip service to the Hizballah bullies and repeating the same old anti Israel language, but it's another thing to be so excited and loving towards that animal, and declaring a national holiday. I have become less sympathetic towards the non Shia population of Lebanon and I now believe there is only a tiny minority that is sane and wants to live in peace with Israel.
30. Kuntar's envy
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya   (07.18.08)
Your picture was profound and speaks volumns ! Kuntar and in the background a UN soldier. How ell they go together.
