Israel love bones and immediately will release all fighters in return for bones But will not consent to release Palestinians untill Shalit dies and hamas offer his bones. That is Israeli policy to intimidate IDF soldiers not to surrender to enemies.

What disgrace-to-the-human-race, Tayfun, suggested in passing is the fact that Israel will return far more prisoners in order to get a single soldier in return. What he/she fails to understand is the obvious point this explains: Human lives are worth more to Israelis than to Arabs.

idiot unless the israeli soldiers were kidnapped, not a single one surrendered to the arabs willingly. they fight for their country not because of hate like you do. this is why all wars israel was forced to fight by the arabs, israel won and created a lot of damage to arabs and their countries. remember, in 67, idf was 20 kilometers from DAMASCUS AND 30-50 kilometers from CAIRO. only the desperate arabs and russia, their patron, started screaming cease fire, cease fire! this is the only reason idf never reached damascus or cairo which was have surely fallen in idf hands. do not underestimate the idf fighting against arab nations with armies that wear uniforms and are recognizable and who do not hide like the terrorists do behind their own civilians and do not wear uniforms. this is a much harder war than wars between idf and real armies. in this kind of war, army against army, the israelies are by far superior to any one else, even american troops. this is why you see idf training american troops for the afghanistan and iraq war against insurgents and terrorists. there is much intelligence and knowhow that idf gives america which will not be able to survive in the middle east if it was not for israel and its military strength. america needs israel in mid east much more than israel needs america. hameed aboughaze, iranian

you have to learn something very important about idf and israelis. THEY WILL NEVER SURRENDER WILLINGLY. MANY NEVER EVEN CRACKED UNTEL THE BARBARIC ARAB INTERROGATIONS WHEN TGHEY WERE CAPTURED. JEWS DO NOT SURRENDER, MY FRIEND. ARABS DO. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY DON'T EVEN WAIT TO SURRENDER TO IDF. THEY TAKE OFF TGHEIR ARFMY BOOTS IN THE SINAI (1967) AND STARTED RUNNING AND RETREATING TOWARDS CAIRO DURING THE WAR. ISRAELI IDF COMBATANTS THAT CAPTURED MOST OF THESE ARAB SOLDIERS, AND THERE WERE THOUSANDS, JUST SENT THEM HOME AFTER ABOUT A WEEK. THEY DIDN'T HARM THEM.

Arafat knew where the soldiers were taken after they were captured. It is too bad that Israeli leaders were too wimpy to arrest Arafat when they allowed him to come to Gaza and release him only after he told what he knew. By the way: one of the commanders who led the Israeli forces into the ambush at Sultan Yaacoub was none other than Ehud Barak.

you do talk alot of rubbish... the reason Shalit is not back is not because we are waiting for him to die but how can you explain 1 israeli soldier for 1200 arab prisoners who have blood on there hands??? If the muslims had any morals then it would be 1 for 1, but its like everything with the muslims they want it all not just east jerusalem but the whole of israel. The deal made with Kuntar shows how important every jew is to us (dead or alive) but to the muslims humans are to no value.

If the Lebanese find remains of Israeli soldiers, wouldn't it be nice if they returned the remains without blackmail.

So #2 you are saying that israeli's value the "israeli" life far more then the arabs value the "arab" life? Have you used relativity in your equation? (population & military might) So if you're so enlightened why can't you extend the good will to arabs instead of helping their oppression which in turn causes what you talk about.

bs"d Tayfun is a non-typical Turk. Real Turks have much more human values then what Tayfun and his Arabized fellows have. He is a known provacator that well paid Vahabi money can buy. A KE PE (Arab ruling party of Turkey) is built on this kind of foundation. A part of dark forces that are trying to overthrow modern Turkish way of life and bring dark Vahabi style into Turkey. Their value system works on blood and anti-humanizm. We will get them out next elections...

since the soldiers were on Lebanese soil where israel keeps invading and bullying their neighbors. No one likes bullies whether our dear USA or israel. As a true Jew, I will never support what is going on there.

A true jew lives in Israel. You sir, are a dhimni

Remember, Israel never invaded another land until the attacks from that land became unbearable. Israel didn't waltz into lebanon because they wanted to. They entered Lebanon because of the years of cross-border attacks on civilians inside Israel by Arafat's PLO. That was the reason for the 1967 war, as well. Today, we see Hizbullah doing the same, which is what started the 2006 war. Had Nasrallah NOT ordered terrorists to cross into Israel, kill and kidnap soldiers, and fire rockets on Israeli cities - the rest of 2006 would have been silent. As a Jew, one would expect you to be a bit educated on cause and effect. But I digress - assuming as much would be a discrimination against your chosen world of ignorance.

"....who led the missing soldiers' families' struggle". Why does it have to be a struggle? Why cant our government support and help the families trying to determine the fate of their loved ones? Its the same with Ron Arad. G-d forbid it should be the same with Gilad Shalit and Guy Hefer!

When journalists arrived to report on the incident Ehud Barak shot several bullets on the already dead Dalal Mughrabi for the benefit of photographers and then proceeded to disarm her from the empty ammunition belt she had on her body and pulled her by the hair to allow for a better view of her face. Mughrabi's remains were supposed to be returned to Lebanon as part of the 2008 Israel-Hezbollah prisoner swap. But the DNA tests of the remains didn’t match with the DNA of her family, her family is still seeking to return her remains. As a part of the disengagement agreement between Egypt and Israel after Yom Kippur War; military Haredim were allowed to search for Jewish body remains in the Ismailia region, west of the Suez Canal. Haredim troops were allowing search dogs to touch Jewish dead bodies; were the Dogs more kosher than goyim? Those people showed magnificent accommodation to the circumstances by creating Jewish law anew. In December 2009, Israel admitted there had been harvesting of skin, corneas, heart valves and bones from the bodies of Israeli citizens (including soldiers), Palestinians, and foreign workers without permission from relatives in the 1990s and some of the dead Palestinians from whom organs were harvested were killed during military raids. An Israeli Ministry of Health spokeswoman, Einav Shimron-Grinboim, issued a statement saying the practice discussed in the report was "an old story that ended years ago" and that in the vast majority of cases, the actions were done to Israelis, including soldiers. Israel respects life?, harvesting organs only from the dead.
