This deal gives the impression to the world that Israel is on her heels. Nothing short of a decisive Israeli military show of force, likening that of the Six Day War will change the current paradigm. Never again! Means Never Again!

It is a time to act. Swiftly, decisively and with tremendous force. The world already acts to slowly eat away at the Jewish state like maggots feeding. The UN, the EU, Russia, almost the entire world short the US, which in many ways, especially with the Israel hating State Dept. and the possibility of Obamination as president is also slowly joining the anti zionist campaign.

I say this with a heavy heart for I know the price will be painful and many brave Jews will die, possibly included relatives of my own, but having lost my beautiful 19 year old cousin to a diseased homicide bomber in 2002 I don’t think any alternative is an option.

I am very saddened by this depressing news. We Jews will suffer as people again due to our moron’s leaders and our constant appeasement.

If Imad Muniyeh wasn’t safe in Syria, Samir Kuntar isn’t safe anywhere, either. It may take a while, but the SOB is a marked man.

Ohlmert is a hopeless cretin, but would he have won the vote without that general’s plea in favour?

This is the worst deal since the last bad deal Israel made.

Bodies for live unrepentant terrorists, who will use the education they received in jail at Israeli taxpayer expense to become more effective killing machines against them.

So for two bodies and closure for their families, inevitably new Jewish bodies and grieving families will be created.

While Palestine and Hezbollah have a death fetish, Israel has a fetish for their dead, guaranteeing many more as there is no motivation now for Arabs to keep Jewish prisoners alive. Israel has basically set up posters on present and future hostages reading “Wanted, dead or alive (and willing to pay top rates either way)”.

[...] doubt emboldened by their latest victory against Israel – namely, the farcical prisoner swap deal approved yesterday – Hizbullah are making more demands from, and issuing more threats against, [...]

This isn’t a deal, it’s a fire sale.

Their efforts would have been better spent freeing Gilad.
In the name of all that is holy, don’t give Kuntar back alive because he will become a superstar for them, he will plan new attacks on Israel. Living Evil is not worth freeiing for the bodies of the good dead.

Atleast tag him. He will meet with Nasrallah eventually, and that way he will lead us to him, atleast then it’s not a waste.

Olmert may be the “biggest disaster in Israel’s short existence” (though he’s given away less land than Sharon), but he’s not the only problem here. The vote, if I remember right, was something like 22 – 3 in favor of this exchange. It is a travesty, but it can’t be laid at the feet of one politician.

The old Israel seems to be gone. She seems to have very little fight left in her. Given that she is routinely stabbed in the back by her “best friend” the United States, perhaps exhaustion is understandable.

I pray to God someone kills Samir Kuntar. I would give a kidney to have a machete and five minutes alone with this “holy warrior.” He should have been hanged in the same spot they hanged Eichmann.

Olmert is the biggest disaster in Israels short existence and must be removed. The man is a traitor and a coward. How can the world respect a power that cuts this sort of deal ?. Truly sickening

The last ones returned arab palestinian kids played soccer with their heads in the street. What happened to NEVER AGAIN? NO MORE, no more, do you hear Olmert? Our kids are worth more than this cowardly capitulation. My heart hurts, tears burn. No parent, no family should have to endure this. Yes, it is an unpopular view but, contrary to past actions, I want no more trades like this .. not even my own.

If this is a swap for dead bodies this is a horrible move.
We are saying to our enemies “do what you like with our people that you capture we will pay dearly for the body parts”. This is not smart. If they are alive, thats a different story.
But, lets say that by some miracle they are alive. If we are making this swap “dead or alive”, it would be to Hizbulah’s advantage to kill them now before returning them, so in the future it would be expected that prisoners will be returned dead.
