1. Why give this terrorist Abass any goodwill gestures?
Jayjay ,   Israel   (05.23.12)
What concessions or gestures has he EVER given Israel?? NONE!!!!!
2. And Abbas's-Arafat's terror successor-gesture is.....
Adina Kutnicki,Israe   (05.23.12)
what?? Crazy is as crazy does... and I am referring to Israel's delusional leadership-Bibi among them!
3. Why?
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (05.23.12)
A gesture is usually in response to or for something. I am trying very hard to figure out what Israel is getting for this "gesture" and near as I can figure--another opportunity to look like weak idiots who Abbas and company can step all over.
4. Hand over
Mason ,   Chicago USA   (05.23.12)
I wonder how many of 130 bodies were innocent children and innocent people.i guess we can say Israel terrorists goverment hand overhand over bodies innocent people to their famalies.
5. Why not....?
Joe ,   London, UK   (05.23.12)
Why must we hold on to the bodies of dead palestinians in the same way as they 'hold to ransom', our lost brothers. Let us show them that we are 'men'. Send them all back, I say..it's the human thing to do. We don't need them and let them have them! Big deal!! In reality, and as we well know, most of our cousins see no real value in life (Kal Vachomer in death!) and probably don't care either way if they get these bodies back, and certainly not in the same way as we do as we value each body and soul, dead, as alive. So whilst it may look like a gesture from our part, it isn't really...it's just showing that we are doing the right thing. Our country is a Holy one and the less we have of unwanted bodies in our country, the better it will be.
6. wrong move
Ben ,   Galus   (05.23.12)
No we don't need to hold the bodies but we do need to talk their language and not encourage their contmpt and not give them a victory. Gilad Schalit, anyone? Zachary Baumel, Tzvi Feldman, Yehuda Katz, Ron Arad, Guy Hever, over 400 Israeli MIA's since 1948.
7. I'm all for this
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (05.23.12)
Bodies of terrorists should be given back immediately, in the exact condition which they fell in battle. I'm even for loading them into body bags and dropping them out of cargo planes into the "Palestinian" government compounds. Get the terrorists out of Israeli soil before they spoil the land. They didn't respect the land in life, they should be buried in it in death.
8. #4 - unless the "innocent" carried guns...
William ,   Israel   (05.23.12)
they're not in this pile of 130 bodies. It was mentioned that these were the bodies of terrorists who fought Israel by targeting civilians over the years. Sad that you think every "Palestinian" with a gun or pipe bomb is innocent and every Israeli in a playground or on a bus is a legitimate target.
9. to # 5
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (05.23.12)
Muslims value burial the same way Jews do. Like us burial is usually done quickly. While I have zero sympathy for terrorists you do yourself and others no service by not understanding the practices of others. It IS an insult that they can't get the burial they want according to Islamic Law. The bodies have been held as bargaining chips. They should have been released for Gilad and the live terrorists should still be in prison.
10. to # 9
Joe ,   London, UK   (05.23.12)
Are they all Muslims? And, as for barganing chips, once again, unfortunately, as (I see it) they see no value in dead bodies, so it's not a chip, which is why they would not have accepted dead bodies in return for Gilad's release. Now, if this would have been the other way around.... Unfortunately, and as we both and all know, we are not dealing with rationality here. And so I say...return them all back to where they came from.
11. Israel hands over Palestinain bodies to PA
Harold ,   USA   (05.23.12)
Were the Palestinian bodies kept as hostage or for trading purposes. I don't believe apartheid South Africa did what Israel is doing. Can Israel be called an apartheid+ State.
12. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.23.12)
No, the corpses of these TERRORISTS were given proper burial in Israel. We could have thrown them on rubbish heaps -- terrorists are, after all, trash -- but we didn't. Do keep that in mind.
13. #11
Harold ,   USA   (05.23.12)
Then why Israel kept these corpses and used them for the release of Shalit. Moreover why you are calling them TERRORISTS when almost most on this planet called them FREEDOM FIGHTER for the liberation of their own lands occupied by Israel. Are you one of them who kept one after stealing parts of its body.
14. Gestures by Israel - a BIG mistake.
Spencer ,   Israel   (05.23.12)
Gestures, gestures and more gestures by Israel!!What is Israel getting back?...Bugger all. Just more inflammatory talk by Abbas and his henchmen. Abbas, a denier of the Holocaust, was, is and will always be a terrorist whose aims are exactly the same as Hamas.
15. #11- is quick burial of Muslim terrorists Apartheid?
William ,   Israel   (05.23.12)
What a weird logic you have. South Africa also doesn't produce mountains of high-technology like Israel either, nor providing their enemies with energy resources and aid - what, does that make Israel an Apartheid State, too? Perhaps singing the National Anthem does. Perhaps having a synagogue on the corner. Perhaps the audacity of signs in Hebrew to meet the needs of the population majority while simultaneously having them in English and Arabic. Gee Harold - the sun rises in the East here too, does that also meet your equation for Apartheid? Dumbass.
16. #13 - were they kept for bargaining for Shalit?
William ,   Israel   (05.23.12)
I didn't read that. I read it was a goodwill gesture to ABBAS in the PA. Did he hold Shait? Plus - NO ONE except a few hippie Leftists and the Arabs call them "freedom fighters", everyone else calls them terrorists. The definition is simple - if they commit violence against a civilian population, they are terrorists. You could join Mason in Obama's hometown and claim all of the "Palestinian" terrorists are just misunderstood innocents. That will make 2 idiots together. No one stolen anything from the Arabs. That is, the land THEY stole from Jews and ethnically cleansed them of. That's still a war crime despite liberals like you claiming it was perfectly OK. Which means - you support war crimes, right? And why do most Americans support Israel over the "Palestinians" (77% vs. 12%)? Because they've seen the peace gestures by Israel and the resort to violence by the "Palestinians". No one in the West considers a suicide bombing of a bus to be an act of self-defense.
17. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.23.12)
Your stupidity has reached a new low. No sane person would call a suicide bomber who blows up innocent civilians a "freedom fighter." No sane person would call two thugs who slit the throats of a sleeping family of five "freedom fighters." No sane person would consider those who fire mortar shells at yellow school buses "freedom fighters." Et cetera, et cetera ad nauseum. Do you consider the hijackers on September 11th to have been "freedom fighters," too? You are an imbecile.

When the world body, the United Nations including the United States, do nothing to free the Palestinian occupied lands then the only weapon they have is to fight occupation by all means including what you have listed in your comment. I bet you'll do the same if an outsider comes and occupy your own bathroom. Wise-up
19. #17
Harold ,   USA   (05.24.12)
When the world body, the United Nations and ther Western countries including the United States, do nothing to liberate the Palestinian Occupied lands for 45 years, they will do anything including what you have listed in your comment to liberate their own land and have their own state. The state cannot look like a slice of Swiss Cheese as said by George W. Bush. I bet you will do more if an outsider occupied your only bathroom for 45 years. Wise-up..............
