All of Lebanon Celebrates a Multiple Murderer
';It isn’t only Hezbollah celebrating the imminent return of the most sickening terrorist in recent memory, Samir Kuntar.
The entire government of Lebanon is joining in.
According to the Palestine Press news,
The Lebanese Prime Minister instructed the closure of all public administrations and public institutions and private institutions, municipalities, public and private educational Lebanon on Wednesday, 16/7/2008, in observance of the liberation of prisoners from the prisons of the Israeli enemy and the restoration of bodies of the martyrs to the soil of the homeland.
It is expected that permeated the celebrations all regions of Lebanon on this occasion.
Similarly, the Lebanon Daily Star said:
Lebanon is planning a welcome ceremony in Naqoura, and President Michel Sleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora will later greet the prisoners at Beirut’s airport.
It can perhaps be expected that traditional murderer-worshippers like Hezbollah or Hamas would celebrate the release of such a murderer. But this is the entire government of Lebanon, which despite Hezbollah’s influence is still considered to be pro-Western by the West, celebrating; every major political leader falling over themselves for a photo-op with this damned and depraved, pitiful excuse for a human being.
It isn’t just the terror organizations that embrace Samir Kuntar. It is the entire Arab world. Because anyone who kills Jews in Israel is, by definition, a hero to the Arabs across all political leanings.
If anyone can find a single Arab editorial that considers Samir Kuntar to be anything less than a hero, in any language, please let me know. Because I have not yet found it.

Firstly, I wish to offer condolensces on the confirmed fate of the two soldiers whose bodies were returned to Israel. I pray that now that the wondering is over, that healing can begin.
from what I’ve been reading on message boards, with people that are lebanese included, they seem more happy to have their people back, and the focus isn’t on Kuntar. I’m weary of media that may just be seeking headlines, and am more interested in hearing from people that are there and know first hand what’s going on.
I’m quickly coming to the conclusion that good and evil (not discounting deaths here, so don’t take it that way, it’s not the way I’m meaning it) is largely a matter of perception. If the shoe was on the other foot, and it was Israeli criminals being returned alive, wouldn’t there be celebration? people are people, and want good for their own, it’s nature.
Peace, Salaam, and Shalom
