By the way Samir has nothing to do with HezbAllah, he's a durze and only Shia'ite muslims are allowed in HezbAllah. Please check your sources before you start blaming HezbAllah for Samir's flaws. As far as I know, most of the Durze people in Lebanon are not supporters of HezbAllah.

Samir Qantar kills one girl, he beocomes a public image and gets insulted. Where as the Israelis terrorize the Palestinians, kill the Palestinian kids every single day and kidnap their fathers, rape the women of the house hold and no one says anything to them. People are blinded by media, everyone who kills without a cause, weather a militia man or a guerrilla fighter, they both r terrorists, the question is who started this crisis, was it Lebanese and Palestinians??? the answer is NO. Was it Israel. the answer is YES. It's a fact, no one can change it.

RAB said THE GREATEST VICTORY FROM THE SMALLEST COUNTRY ...

About your text on this, Israel has shown more consideration for the prisioners than Hezbollah, and i advise you to see it as a good will from Israel to get peace, no one has won that war. Don't forget the israelian soldiers were kidnapped and not killed in action.

My hope is that finally there will be peace in the region.

I agree with you 500%, 1 of 10 God commitments is "You shall not kill"

Loulsy said Bravo Dotty ...

ur 100% right.. so maybe we should begin by removing our dear politicians dont you agree?! for such an exaulting speech we really should be taking a stand and getting rid of the nice murdering politicians that we follow blindly all the way.. not thinking of what it is costing our family and our country.. then we should go around pointing fingers and saying OH how Embarassing, how shameful.. we are glorifying murders.. it all starts from the inside.. "

I agree with you, politic is dirty and has caused too many wars, religion is just 1 excuse for it.

=======================

Dottymom: That's always the problem, Israel has shown that it's more powerfull than any terrorist group, just that they care more about their citizens than Hamas or Hezbollah, they are sacrificing some myths so that Peace may finally reach that region.

==================

Regarding everyone to their place and what belongs to whom, we may say that Israel was occupied by Arab nations during centuries, when they finally got their independence, they were attacked by a coligation of Arab countries and defeated them, and as a response they occupied part of some countries, but seams that they are giving back those occupied territories, just hope that this will be the end of war in the midle east.

Are you aware that Hezbollah actually started the July 2006 war in Lebanon????????

Lebanon has the right to live in peace, the people of Palestine have the right to have their own state and the jews in Israel have the right to live. The commmon people all agree on this, such as shame that the governments cant.

Hezbollah has done wonderful things for the people in the south of Lebanon and has provided where the Lebanese govenment couldnt It doesnt change the fact that they are a terrorist organization. They have brain washed the masses of people that live without hope in the South of Lebanon.

We should not give a heros welcome to anyone muslim, jewish or christian if they have committed such acts of violence. We are therefore encouraging the youth that are brainwashed from an early age to look up to and aspire to be the same as these evil people. The cycle of hatred and violence has to stop.

In the Lebanese July War, While Israel was saying that they are trying to kill Sayed Hassan in his Sanctuary they used specialized not allowed weaponry on the lebanese people and children were the most victims in that war.. Im sure during that 33 day war as we call it you were busy watching some soap opera to see what was really going on.. or uprobably thought it was some cute action movie. Go look up history and see the massacres that have been done on the hnds of the Israeli government and Army (not the israeli ppl bcz they were busy rioting against the wars)... The massacre of Qana is what?! if u dont know what it is.. look it up.. this is 100% proof of going after children. You look at what Samir Kantar did and go like oh my god he killed 1 child.. yeah weill israel has been killing our children for decades..

I can't believe that a murderer that killed an INNOCENT 4 year child in a horrific attack was welcomed like a hero. Greeted by the president and other high ranking officials in Lebanon. It's a shame that the world had to see Lebanon celebrate murderers in a way usually reserved for REAL heros. Not all Lebanese endorse such acts of violence committed by these types of people.

Israeli reaction to prisoner swap

Four Israelis give their views on the prisoner swap deal their government has reached with Hezbollah.

DONNA METREGER, 71, BER SHEVA

Some say this shows the weakness of Israel, I think it shows our humanity. It shows we care about our soldiers.

I totally agree with returning the prisoners, let Lebanon look after them.

It does mean however, that we have to be very careful not to get more of our soldiers kidnapped.

It also means the chances of an Israeli surviving after being kidnapped are pretty slim.

I have trouble with giving back live people for dead bodies. We could have been more assertive in our dealings. But there was a whole lot of pressure on the government to do something.

Hezbollah not telling us that the soldiers were dead - that's not politics, that's power play - "we're meaner than you".

I feel very sorry for Lebanese people. They are between a rock and a hard place with Hezbollah having so much power.

The main thing is that the terrorists are no longer in Israel, and the Israeli families now know where their young soldiers are.

DANIEL, 37, ENGINEER, JERUSALEM

I'm against it, but not strongly. It's hard for me to say what the right thing to do is.

I am uncomfortable with the level of pressure the families put on the government.

I would not have wanted a prisoner exchange to have taken place like this with my body

There were lots of articles about what the families would do when their sons came home. I think they knew that if they accepted the possibility they were dead, the deal wouldn't happen.

I am outraged that an organisation like the International Committee of the Red Cross capitulated to Hezbollah's terms, not giving us any information on the soldiers.

I am a reserve soldier myself. I served in the last war and I certainly would not have wanted a prisoner exchange like this with my body.

I also think it increases the likelihood of another kidnapping, which can't be a good thing.

Soldiers would have rather seen a rescue operation, even if the chances of its success weren't high.

There wasn't a note of recrimination when the army went in to rescue Nachshon Wachsman, [captured by the Palestinians in 1994], even though he and several Israeli soldiers died in the operation.

However, this was driven by the mothers of soldiers, rather than the soldiers themselves. I send my condolences to the families.

ROM KESHET, 34, DOCTOR, TEL AVIV

On the whole, I think the deal was right.

If you look at past deals, this is pretty much OK because we only gave five live terrorists away. In the past, we've released hundreds.

I don't envy our leaders; they have to consider the families' and the nation's interests as a whole. It's a hard balance to find.

This swap might encourage more kidnapping from the other side, because they know they get a lot in return.

Also, the fact we're willing to pay such a price, even for dead soldiers, may encourage them not to try to keep the hostages alive.

I'm a reservist. I served as a medical officer in the last war.

I think soldiers and civilians too appreciate that Israel is willing to do a lot for its people, even when they're dead.

Clearly Hezbollah were not playing by the rules. They are terrorists, they have no rules, which is to their advantage.

I find it very, very disturbing, that a murderer such as Samir Qantar can be welcomed as a hero like this in Lebanon.

The Lebanese people should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror. Although, I know that not everyone in Lebanon supports Hezbollah, it raises many questions.

MICHAEL, 30, PHD STUDENT, REHOVOT

The bottom line is, I'm against this.

I understand the families, really I do. It's morally wonderful that Israel goes so far to get its people back, but politically I think it might be a disaster.

The other side sees our actions as a great weakness. In their eyes, this makes us look pathetic.

For them it doesn't matter how many people die. Not least if they are ours.

I'm not saying we have to be like them, but are we doing the right thing to swap live people for dead ones?

Once you do something like this, you give power to Mr Nasrallah.

It's disgusting how they treat [Samir] Qantar [one of the released Lebanese prisoners].

If that's the way they're going to treat someone who killed a little girl - like a hero - what can we do?

By ZEINA KARAM, Associated Press Writer Thu Jul 17, 2:50 PM ET

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Five militants freed in a prisoner swap with Israel prayed and laid wreaths at the grave of a slain Hezbollah commander Thursday, vowing to fight Israel as supporters showered them with rice.

At the same time, eight tractor-trailers loaded with coffins carrying the remains of 199 Lebanese and Palestinian fighters returned by Israel in the swap made their way from south Lebanon to the capital Beirut. Villagers showered rice and rose petals on the coffins wrapped in Lebanese and Hezbollah flags and covered with flowers. A banner on one of the red and yellow trucks read, "The Martyrs of Victory."

The vehicles were stopped often along the route by throngs of supporters, some of them women relatives in black headscarves and clothing who held up pictures of those killed in fighting with Israel over the past three decades.

In Beirut, the five freed prisoners dressed in military fatigues walked a red carpet laid out for them to the grave of Imad Mughniyeh, a shadowy figure Israel and the West accused of masterminding terrorist bombings in the 1980s and 1990s. He was killed in a car bomb in neighboring Syria in February which Hezbollah blamed on Israel. Israel denied it.

"We swear by God ... to continue on your same path and not to retreat until we achieve the same stature that God bestowed on you," said Samir Kantar, who had been the longest-held Lebanese prisoner in Israel.

He referred to Mughniyeh's "martyrdom," saying, "This is our great wish. We envy you and we will achieve it, God willing."

Kantar had been convicted of a notorious 1979 attack where he allegedly killed a father in front of his 4-year-old daughter, and then killed the girl by crushing her skull with a rifle butt. He denied killing the daughter and claimed she was caught in the crossfire.

The girl's 2-year-old sister was accidentally smothered by her mother, who held her hand over the toddler's mouth to stifle her cries while the two hid in a crawl space.

In Jerusalem, an Israeli spokesman condemned the hero's welcome accorded to Kantar in Beirut Wednesday.
