U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, speaking in Germany, said he hoped Wednesday's prisoner swap would be "the beginning of many to come in the future."

I just have common sense.

This should encourage more kidnappings. Why bother to keep the victims alive, when Israel will trade bodies for prisoners? Kantar should have been stood against a wall and shot the minute the coffins arrived.
/Another stereotype busted - I always thought Israelis were tough and shrewd.

Posted by: MP at July 16, 2008 2:25 PM

In the Gaza Strip, controlled by the violently anti-Israel Hamas group, people handed out sweets to celebrate Kantar's impending release.

------------

What group of people on this planet celebrate the murderer of a 4-year-old girl? Even if the girl is from an "enemy" country. Can anyone with a conscience support people like this, someone who would bash in the head of a little girl? I guess the answer is yes, people like Jimmy Carter.

And why has Israel done this prisoner exchange, knowing it will demoralize the Israeli people and embolden those who celebrate killers in cold blood?
Could it be a backroom deal involving the Bush administration and promises to Iran in return for quiet in Iraq during election season and a lower oil price? That's what it looks like from here on the sidelines.

Samir Kuntar, who has beentraded today for two murdered Israelis, has been for that reason briefly in the news; he's even made it, today, to the front page of The Times.

There are only three things you need to know about Samir Kuntar.

The first thing is that he is a murderer and a child-murderer, and that he acted as all the Arab terrorists -- the terrorists of the PLO, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, have always acted when they attack Israelis. He behaved like a mad dog, that is, and he killed first a policeman, and then took a man, Danny Haran, and Haran's four-year-old daughter, to a beach at Netanya, where Kuntar first shot Haran in front of his four-year-old daughter, and then smashed in her head. The mother, who had been hiding with the baby in a closet, and fearful that the baby's cries might alert the Arab terrorist whom, she knew, would not hesitate to murder both of them, accidentally smothered her own baby. For many that must have evoked memories of similar incidents, by Jewish women hiding from the Nazis, who also, in fear and despair, and attempting to smother the cries of babies, also smothered the babies.

The second thing to know about Samir Kuntar is that he is returning to a hero's welcome. He will be feted in his village -- oh, everyone is excited, everyone will be there. But not only in his village, but all over Lebanon. And Fouad Siniora, the man we think is our "ally" and think inhabits the same moral universe we do because, you see, he is opposed by Hezbollah (just the way we may have thought that Moqtada al-Sadr and his Shi'a ilk were nature's noblemen because, you see, they so bravely endured oppression by Saddam Hussein), thinks it's a great "victory for Lebanon," this return of a murderer by Israel, in exchange for two corpses.

The third thing? What's the third thing you need to know about Samir Kuntar?

Oh, that is so obvious that it's easy to overlook. That third thing is this: Samir Kuntar is alive and well. He was taken alive, and despite what he had done, he was kept alive, and never harmed, and has lived, a prisoner but unharmed, for 30 years. In what other country would such a man have even been taken alive, when it would have been so easy simply to kill him, there, on the spot? In what other country would he not have been executed? In what other country would he have been treated well in prison? The fact that Samir Kuntar was not killed, not harmed in any way, but kept alive and treated well, despite being a terrorist who killed four people, including a four-year-old child whose head he smashed in, while the two Reservists, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, who had been captured alive, though wounded, were either deliberately allowed to die from easily-treatable wounds, or, more likely, murdered in cold blood by Hezbollah heroes, and they, of course, had done nothing, were merely fulfilling their national service, standing guard in their own country, and certainly had not smashed in the heads of any four-year-olds.

Those are the three things you need to know about Samir Kuntar.

And there is one more thing you need to know. But it’s not about Samir Kuntar, though Samir Kuntar comes into it. You should know the present government of Israel, the government of Ehud Olmert, is this very day, Wednesday, July 16, 2008, giving freedom to the smiling unrepentent Samir Kuntar, alive and well and about to be feted all over Lebanon as a hero, in exchange for the corpses of two murdered Israeli university students, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, who were captured alive while doing their annual reserve duty.

That's what you have to know about Samir Kuntar. And that’s all you have to know about Samir Kuntar.

The Slow Jihadists of Fatah hail the heroism of Samir Kuntar:

"...the Palestinians were united Wednesday in praising the prisoner exchange between Israel and Hizbullah, dubbing it an historic event and victory.

Much praise was heaped praise on Lebanese prisoner Samir Kuntar, who killed four people in 1979, as well as Dalal Mughrabi, the Fatah woman who led the 1978 coastal bus carnage that claimed the lives of 36 people.

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip took to the streets to celebrate the prisoner deal. Chanting slogans in support of Hizbullah, many Palestinians distributed candies and pledged to continue the fight until the release of all Palestinian prisoners.

The Palestinians also demonstrated in support of Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who has been charged with crime crimes in the International Criminal Court.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who is currently visiting Malta, welcomed the prisoner exchange and sent his greetings to Kuntar upon his release from Israeli prison.

Abbas's Fatah party organized a rally in Ramallah to celebrate the release of Kuntar and the return of the remains of Mughrabi. "This is an historic victory over Israeli arrogance," said Ahmed Abdel Rahman, a top Fatah official and advisor to Abbas.

He described Kuntar as a "big struggler" and Mughrabi as a "martyr who led one of the greatest freedom fighters' operations in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

He added that on this "important" day, Fatah "salutes Hizbullah and its leaders and fighters."

Fahmi Za'arir, a Fatah spokesman in the West Bank, said his party was proud of all those who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Palestinian "revolution and people." He
described the attack carried out by Mughrabi and Kuntar as heroic and legendary."

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know when was the last time a Muslim country returned a captured Israeli alive? Some statistics on these "exchanges" would be enlightening. It would seem to me that Muslims, in their own minds, seem to think that the life of a live Muslim is worth much, much less than that of a dead Jew.

As a companion piece to Hugh's, I offer you the Jerusalem Post editorial.

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1215330995555&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

'If the Second Lebanon War was characterized by a lack of clarity in execution and result, yesterday brought a rare measure of clarity, and not only to the families of the Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hizbullah two years ago, who finally learned the fate of their sons.

"When the heart-sickness subsides, we will all have been left with a searing glimpse of the contrast between two very different cultures.

"Lebanon yesterday celebrated the return of four Hizbullah terrorists, along with Samir Kuntar, 45, who in 1979 murdered a civilian, Danny Haran, in front of his four-year-old daughter, before crushing her skull against a rock with the butt of his rifle.

"Kuntar has never expressed remorse. "My oath and pledge," he wrote Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah in a letter reprinted in a Palestinian newspaper, "is that my place will be at the battlefront, which is soaked in the sweat of your giving, and the blood of the most beloved among men, and that I shall continue down the path, until complete victory."

"In his hometown of Abey, one sign read: "Samir Kuntar is the conscience of Lebanon, Palestine and the Arab nation."

"Mocking the notion that much distinction remains between Hizbullah and the Lebanese government, Prime Minister Fuad Saniora and President Michel Suleiman extended an official state welcome, declared a national holiday, and greeted the five freed prisoners at Beirut's airport. (With 11 of the 30 cabinet positions, Hizbullah enjoys veto power in the Lebanese government.)

The celebrations were led by Nasrallah, who has characterized Jews as the "grandsons of apes and pigs."

"If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew," he has said.

"This from a man who, fearing for his own safety, hardly leaves his bunker.

"A more undignified and morally offensive spectacle is hard to imagine.

"IN ISRAEL, by way of the starkest contrast, dignity was the order of the day. The country has always respected the rights of its prisoners, even those with blood on their hands. Kuntar, for instance, received a fair trial, due process, and conjugal visits. While in jail, he earned a social science degree from the Open University.

"Yesterday, however, brought to light something extraordinary: the dignity with which the Israeli side handled enemy remains; the dignity of Smadar Haran, Danny's widow, who had asked the prime minister and cabinet not to take into consideration her pain in their deliberations about the exchange; and, not least, the dignity with which the Regev and Goldwasser families began to mourn their fallen - not in anger, but in sorrow.

"There are things Israel must now do to prevent another kidnapping, including renewed vigilance on both the Lebanon and Gaza borders, and ensuring the return of Gilad Schalit.

"But in moving ahead, Israel must now, in its collective mourning, draw strength from its human instincts of dignity and morality - instincts which as of yesterday stand in ever starker relief with the barbarism of its enemies.

"Terror is by its nature spectacular; it relies on psychological manipulation and on the propagandistic use of dramatic images and belligerent rhetoric. But its successes are empty and ephemeral. Rather than slip into demoralization, Israel must remain confident that democratic achievement, on the other hand, is by its nature seldom dramatic, but its victories are principled and lasting.

"DESPITE yesterday's ignominious displays of chest-thumping and gloating, Hizbullah stands somewhat chastened. It reportedly lost 500 to 600 of its fighters in a war which brought devastation to the Lebanese economy and infrastructure. The Iranian-backed Shi'ite militia's senior tactician and liaison with Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Imad Mughniyeh, was assassinated in February, and Hizbullah has not dared - or been able - to avenge his death. It has not staged an attack in two years.

"But Hizbullah's greatest loss, perhaps, has been its standing in the eyes of principled people everywhere, who can now see the difference between a political culture that valorizes brutality and celebrates a killer as its national conscience, and one that manages a quiet dignity even in the most trying of times."

Let's extract, and reflect upon, these passages.
First:

"Lebanon yesterday celebrated the return of four Hizbullah terrorists, along with Samir Kuntar, 45, who in 1979 murdered a civilian, Danny Haran, in front of his four-year-old daughter, before crushing her skull against a rock with the butt of his rifle"

And THIS is what that psychopathic conscienceless murderer's hometown said, as they welcomed him home, fat and sleek and smiling and full of self-importance:

"Samir Kuntar is the conscience of Lebanon, Palestine and the Arab nation."

It is difficult for me to begin to imagine the utter lack of self-consciousness, the total absence of conscience, the sheer alien-ness, of the mindset that could *PRAISE* a psychopathic murderer as the 'conscience' of the Lebanese, and the 'Palestinians', and of all Arabs - all Arab Muslims - everywhere, and do so with absolutely no sense of irony.

I am reminded of Iago's "Evil, be thou my good".

I am also reminded of Nonie Darwish's scathing dictum - "Arab means never having to say you're sorry".

Keep that banner, from Samir Kuntar's home town. Memorise the words. And next time someone, in the World Council of Churches, or on a university campus, is weeping and wailing about the Pooor Palestinians, and the Pooor Lebanese, tell them what Samir Kuntar did, and then what his home town did, and said about it.

Out of their own mouths they are condemned, and they do not even know it, they do not even begin to have a glimmer of awareness of how comprehensively they have condemned themselves.

Posted by: dumbledoresarmy at July 16, 2008 5:17 PM

Jeez we are doomed.
Giving over dangerous prisoners of war for corpses. What sort of message does that deliver.
Don't the idiots think that the Muslim fascists will take note of this lesson.

Now Israel grovels to its Islamic masters. Every time we play the game by their rules we give a little of ourselves away.
I just wish some country would take the initiative and keep it.

Here, for further reflection, is an excerpt from Caroline Moorehead's biography of Martha Gellhorn, "Martha Gellhorn: A Life".

p. 425 –
"In 1967…Martha returned to Israel…She arrived as the Six Day War against Egypt, Jordan and Syria was ending. The Arab forces were broken and the Israelis were now in possession of the Golan Heights, the western bank of the Jordan River, the town of Kuneitra and a strip of Syria, having crossed the Sinai and reached the Suez canal. Martha stayed for just over a month and wrote articles for the Guardian, the Nation, Commonweal and American Vogue/
p. 426 – 'Martha had good friends in the Israeli army, including Moshe Dayan, newly appointed Minister of Defence, who was a great admirer of James Gavin. Soon, she was given a car, driver and conducting officer to take her into the Sinai to see the remains of war.

‘They passed burned out tanks, guns, spent shells, lorries with blindfolded prisoners. “Fiercest smell on earth: human dead”, Martha wrote in her notebook, with her usual blend of work and personal observations.

“Sorrow and disgust…There is no swank, no crowing. No Israelis are drunk, no looting, no raping of women…I know Israelis will not torture”…

'She went on, “Atrocities {by Arab Muslims, during the 6 Day War - dda}: 7 Israeli pilots hung, 1 thrown to crowd, killed with spades, 2 pilots decapitated in Smyrna, heads shown on TV, girl teletypist, breasts cut off, etc. Made me sick.”

'The next day, she returned to the atrocities: ‘6 Arabs caught last night with hand grenades at the Wailing Wall. Got shot at once. Jews are too lenient – will do them no good…Least violent people anywhere”.'...

The Gaza strip, ‘a garden spot, 150 square miles of rolling land covered with citrus groves and green fields’, shaded by the ‘waving plumes of eucalyptus trees’, its roads lined by flowering oleanders, was nothing other than a huge lunatic asylum. It was the nastiest place on earth, and needed psychiatrists, not aid workers.’

{And although Moorehead repeatedly accuses Gellhorn of being unaccountably, wickedly, blindly prejudiced against the Poor Palestinians, and their Arab Muslim allies, I think we have all seen today, in the insane adulation of Samir Kuntar and Dalal Mughrabi, that Martha was right, a thousand times right. We might recall also the unseemly spectacle of Gaza: the gun battles, Hamas vs Fatah, the defenestrations, the insane children’s shows like something Hitler might have made, preaching genocidal hatred and murder, and the suicide music videos about martyrs in paradise, and the persecution and murder of Christians}.

‘The war had neither touched nor troubled the refugees, yet according to Martha those she talked to were sullen, resentful, suspicious, afraid, and full of hatred, Liars as well as cowards, the Arabs were ‘terrible people’.

{Note: Moorehead clearly wants us to think that Gellhorn is racist and bigoted, that her perception of the 'refugees' and of (overwhelmingly Muslim) Arabs was skewed, but... many other visitors to the Arabised/ Islamised world have noted the prevalence of lies – and see Nonie Darwish for Islam’s permission of lying and her experience of ‘cursing sermons’ in mosques}.

‘And so it went on, in notes and entries in her diary, in her articles, in letters to friends. To Presnell, who had dared to question the reasons for the war, Martha replied sharply that he had got the whole thing, like everyone else had, ‘ass backwards’.

‘Even the Guardian, she told him, had now turned pro-Arab, and insisted that there had been 200 civilian refugee casualties, when she had counted less than 150. Arab officers, she told him, had a nasty way of fleeing in civilian cars, leaving/
p. 428
their troops.
‘And the peace is as decent and straight as the war; and Israel gets no credit, because the world cannot endure real virtue. So Israel has to be cut down to size, and lied about. Makes me sick.”

Yes. And it makes *me* sick, too, today. Sick - and furiously angry.

Posted by: dumbledoresarmy at July 16, 2008 5:59 PM

Hugh: I hope you won't mind if I re-post, today, in this context, for the benefit of anyone but lately come to this comments floor, the observations of A Carlebach, from Ma'ariv, October 7, 1955, which you and Robert brought to our attention in May 2006.

http://jihadwatch.org/archives/011555.php

..."Dr. A. Carlebach's analysis published in Ma'ariv (Oct. 7, 1955) would have been lost to history, one suspects, but for the fact that it is reprinted, amusingly and quite uncomprehendingly, in Edward Said's preposterous "The Question of Palestine."

'Fortunately for us, Said often provides quotes from various European and Zionist sources that are so deadly, so convincing, particularly in the light of all we have learned about Islam over the past few years, that as a work of propaganda it no longer serves its purpose.

'Here is what Said quoted from Carlebach, and what Said obviously thought was self-evidently absurd; but we read it now with quite a different frame of mind:

"These Arab Islamic countries do not suffer from poverty, or disease, or illiteracy, or exploitation; they only suffer from the worst of all plagues: Islam.

'Wherever Islamic psychology rules, there is the inevitable rule of despotism and criminal aggression.

‘The danger lies in Islamic psychology, which cannot integrate itself into the world of efficiency and progress, that lives in a world of illusion, perturbed by attacks of inferiority complexes and megalomania, lost in dreams of the holy sword.

‘The danger stems from the totalitarian conception of the world, the passion for murder deeply rooted in their blood, from the lack of logic, the easily inflamed brains, the boasting, and above all: the blasphemous disregard for all that is sacred to the civilized world...their reactions -- to anything -- have nothing to do with good sense.

'They are all emotion, unbalanced, instantaneous, senseless. It is always the lunatic that speaks from their throat.

'You can talk 'business' with everyone, and even with the devil. But not with Allah...This is what every grain in this country shouts. There were many great cultures here, and invaders of all kinds. All of them -- even the Crusaders -- left signs of culture and blossoming. But on the path of Islam, even the flies have died.

"We pile sin upon crime when we distort the picture and reduce the discussion to a conflict of border between Israel and her neighbors. First of all, it is not the truth. The heart of the conflict is not the question of the borders; it is the question of Muslim psychology.....

‘Moreover, to present the problem as a conflict between two similar parts is to provide the Arabs with the weapon of a claim that is not theirs. If the discussion with them is truly a political one, then it can be seen from both sides. Then we appear as those who came to a country that was entirely Arab, and we conquered and implanted ourselves as an alien body among them, and we loaded them with refugees and constitute a military danger for them, etc. etc. ...one can justify this or that side--and such a presentation, sophisticated and political, of the problem is understandable for European minds--at our expense.

‘The Arabs raise claims that make sense to the Western understanding of simple legal dispute.

‘But in reality, who knows better than us that such is not the source of their hostile stand? All those political and social concepts are never theirs.

‘Occupation by force of arms, in their own eyes, in the eyes of Islam, is not all associated with injustice. To the contrary, it constitutes a certifate and demonstration of authentic ownership.

'The sorrow for the refugees, for the expropriated brothers, has no room in their thinking. Allah expelled, Allah will care. Never has a Muslim politician been moved by such things (unless, indeed, the catastrophe endangered his personal status).

' If there were no refugees and no conquest, they would oppose us just the same." END QUOTE.

Today, as we reflect on the insane, the psychopathic adulation of those two psychopaths, Samir Kuntar, and Dalal Mughrabi, these words by Carlebach, in particular, seem written in letters of fire:

"the [Arab Muslims'] blasphemous disregard for all that is sacred to the civilized world".

Says it all.

Delenda est Islamia.

So, either the Rev., the UN, and the Red Cross lied, or Hezbollah is guilty of a war crime - Murdering POW's......

To make it quite, quite plain what we are dealing with: here are the links for two articles about Dalal Mughrabi [may her name be erased] who conducted a jihadi suicide assassination, and whose accursed remains have also been returned to the Muslims.

First, from Jerusalem Post -

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull&cid=1215330933597
Jul 10, 2008 21:46 | Updated Jul 10, 2008 22:16

The headline reads: 'PA wants 'festive' funeral for coastal road killer", and includes this horrifying paragraph, just as horrifying as the welcome banner for Kuntar which called him the 'conscience of Lebanon, Palestine and the Arab nation':

'Thursday's edition of the PA-funded Al-Hayat Al-Jadedda newspaper hailed Mughrabi as a "living legend and a wonderful example for all women."'

For ALL women? Really? Not for me, thanks awfully.

Now, to find out more details of what this she-hyena did, and how the local Arab Muslims perceive her, read this, as published in FrontPage.

http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=23E40B55-62ED-49CA-80EE-5E09425748CA

I have taken the liberty of correcting some of the terminology, by providing alternative phrasing, between brackets {...}.

'Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior Fatah official and close associate of PA president Mahmoud Abbas, called Mughrabi

“the first Palestinian [sic] woman to carry out one of the most courageous operations in Israel” and said “we want to turn Dalal’s funeral into a national wedding, a major celebration.

'The operation she carried out off the shores of her hometown of Jaffa was heroic and exemplary. She will always be remembered as a symbol for the Palestinian [sic] women’s struggle.”

'What, then, [asks David Hornik] did Dalal Mughrabi do?

' In what became known as the Coastal Road massacre, on March 11, 1978—about a year before the attack Samir Kuntar took part in—she led a group of eleven Palestinian {i.e. local Arab Muslim} terrorists {i.e. jihadi terror raiders} who landed in inflatable boats on a beach north of Tel Aviv, killed {i.e. murdered} an American {American Jewish} photographer named Gail Rubin who was taking nature pictures nearby, and hijacked a bus along the coastal highway.

'After the Israeli army pursued the bus and finally stopped it, a gun battle ensued between the soldiers and the terrorists {the jihadi terror raiders} during which the terrorists {jihadists} shot passengers who tried to escape.

'Eventually Dalal Mughrabi blew up the bus, which became a large firetrap, and the attack left thirty-six Israeli civilians dead including thirteen children. Mughrabi and the other terrorists {jihadists} were killed; seventy-one Israelis were wounded."...

Note Ahmad's phrasing: "one of the most courageous operations"..."heroic and exemplary"..."a symbol for the Palestinian [sic] women's struggle" {did he say, in Arabic, JIHAD?}.

At least, unlike Samir Kuntar, she is dead. But she is in the feminine what Kuntar the accursed is in the masculine. And like Kuntar she has been held up to all the local Arab Muslims, young and old, male and female, for intense and unquestioning emulation, not only by Hamas, but by Fatah, and President Abbas.

I will, however, allow the last paragraph of Khaled Abu Toameh's article about her, in Jerusalem Post, to resonate in our minds, with all its self-exposing, horrifying irony.

Abu Toameh reports that - 'The article [published in Thursday's edition of the PA-funded Al-Hayat Al-Jadedda newspaper]criticized Hizbullah for agreeing to bury Mughrabi in Lebanon and not in the Palestinian territories. It said that someone like her deserved to be buried next to Yasser Arafat's grave in Ramallah."

See that. 'It [i.e the PA press] said that 'someone like her deserved to be buried next to Yasser Arafat's grave in Ramallah'.

Oh yes, she deserves to be right next to Yasser Arafat, indeed she does - and if there is, as I believe there is, a God, YHWH the judge of Heaven and Earth, and a Judgement, and an avalanche of divine fire that strips away all the illusions, denials and lies with which the truly evil conceal their evil from themselves, then Dalal Mughrabi is surely in that gulf of divine fire, right next to Yasser Arafat.

I can think of no worse punishment for a jihadist like Dalal, nor a more final humiliation, than this: to discover that the paradise promised by 'allah', to be had for the trifling price of carrying out the murder (shall we say, the human sacrifice? on the altar of allah?) of one or more Jews, man, or woman, or child, was a lie; and that the Judge (before whose shining and eyes one was stripped bare, revealed to oneself, finally, inexorably, inescapably, as nothing more or less than a common murderer, fool, and liar) was - or chose to be revealed in the likeness of - a Jewish rabbi in a prayer shawl.
