i cannot think of one thing that Barak has ever done correctly. Could it be possible that he finally did something right?

They should threaten that they will burn the bodies unless they release Shalit!

I would never have believed that this could happen.

kol hakavod ahava ^^

exchange bodies, let it be his for Shalit

The PMand Ehud Barak discussed this set up weeks earlier. This will only strenghten Kadima and Labor. I have no idea why the PM did that?

after the PA with that moderate Fayyad in attendance did to honr Palistinian murders who blow up children by naming streets and parks for them, what are these Israeli "leaders" doing? Theses terrorists will be remembered and glorified. This is one of the dumbest ideas Bibi and Barak have ever concocted. And as for the comments above about Barak: this opportunist and narcissist heard the complaints and reversed himself to undercut Bibi!!. It's always about Barak for Barak.

Officials say it is not related to Shalit? Who believes that dreck? It is all related! Exactly what is Israel to receive for returning DEAD terrorists? I see no good in this move just as I see no good in ANY dealings with arab leaders. NONE.

Why are there even negotiations to just give these bodies to the PA while Gilad is still held hostage. If this was part of deal releasing Gilad, ok. But as gesture for nothing in return. NO.

bibi or barak but it is a good decision made by barak the terrorists bodies shouldnt be given to the PA in order to glorify them and turn their tombs into a memorial place to be visited by the people

Bibi authorises this...No comment from Noam Shalit...Barak halts the transfer...? Anyone else get the feeling our elected representatives act with impunity?

If the US of A can feed Osama to the Sharks, Israel can and should do the same. We do not have to store bodies of terrorists in any place other than the deep blue sea. The terrorists don't care much for us, let us return the concern.

The issues are these: 1) The feelings of the relatives of victims. 2) Moral issue of how to treat the bodies of enemies who murder civilians. 3) What the Palestinians would do on the return of such bodies - their glorifications etc... 4) What would Israel get in return. Not a very easy decision to make. I think the best way to handle it is to have representatives from the families of the victims, the families of terrorists and both Muslim and Jewish and Christian clergy as well as the reps of both the Israeli gov and PA authority get together to discuss and decide how to handle this. This forum could help bring these people closer together as neighbours if nothing else. May the light of the good Lord shine in all their hearts and put a stop to all these horrible thoughts, words and deeds.

If. IF Barky (the Chairman of the 17 person political party, Atzmaut), who serves in the ministerial position of Minister of Defense, at the whim and order of the PM, countermands or interferes with a national political decision, he should regardless of the correctness or moral questionability of the PM's order, be forthwith bounced from the cabinet, and be placed in his correct nd rightful place, which he has earned by his bassic stupidity and natural bent towards treachery, alongside his true place in the body politic, with the Zipperette. I can see their new combined motto now. "With a dagger in the back for all and to all a good night."

One of you should be pounding on a table with your shoe at the UN like Kruschev for immediate visitation of Shalit by the Red Cross. All talks should cease until he is released. Your new Ambassador is probably too much of a gentleman to "make a scene" but perhaps an old Russian like Mr Lieberman would know exactly how to make an impression- and fly Shalit's entire family and friends to the UN to demonstrate outside to be joined by thousands of supporters; pre-empting any flotilla or silly pre-mature and unauthorised Palestinian state grab. Mr Barak, if you get no response from that, go ahead and fly those despicable mass-murdering corpses out to our new aquatic cemetery-I hear the sharks are getting hungry again. that's how this goy would handle it.

It is written by Solomon the wise" a living dog is greater then a dead lion. " These dead retards can hurt us no more. A living human suffers in the meantime.

I don't know what on earth possess some people in our government to do the things they do. We don't even know if our little soldier is still alive, no-one gets to see him or talk to him and here we are, sending back bodies? It's so very very wrong on so many levels!! At least Barak is good for something.

worry is whether Barak will stand firm. I doubt it !

We are not savages over here you know. EVERYONE in Israel wants to see Gilad returned to his parents arms - but going down to their level makes us the same as them - and we are not.

they wouldn't hand out bodies to gentiles in order to avoid desecration.

No Surprise Here Mr. Barak , you have very low standards.

and give them a pile of ashes!

The more concession Israel gives,the more they will demand.Offer nail to the Arab,then he will ask your finger,give him the finger,he will ask the arm,give him the arm he will ask for your body. Dai enough with concession.Only heavy hand the Arabs understand

Barak has finally done something right. And it appears that BiBi has gone off his ^rocker^. If you're going to get rid of those killers, dig them up, pour petrol over their coffins and throw a match on them, and be sure and make an arab display of it. Those killers who managed to escape their own death should have a good ,look at how they will end up. Nuff said!

Replace Ehud Barak now!
