#1 When will the Israelis learn that they have no choice but to kill these murderers quickly? Kantar should be turned over to the relatives of the people he murdered; I suspect they would treat him as he so richly deserves.

I see no reason why the Israelis should not start operating from a position of strength, e.g, telling the Palestinians that they will execute a Paleo murderer every day until they either empty their jails or the three soldiers are returned. They would either get the three soldiers back or do themselves a great favor in clearing up a lot of Paleo trash too villainous to ever be let loose again.

The Paleos like death; I see no reason for Israel not to give it to them until they are more than sated. It's not as if Israeli restraint has made Paleos either more tractable or less dangerous. If Paleos ever get the upper hand they will gleefully finish what Hitler started. Give them credit for one thing; they have never failed to say exactly that. Nothing Israel can do will persuade Paleos to stop their murderous aggression other than killing them, so they might as well get started.

#2 the *SWAP* arguments for and against.

[Israeli] Supporters of the deal claim that this time, the blood on their hands principle will be honored and the detainees were all slated to be released in a few years anyway. Turning to the experts doesnt necessarily help in resolving the dilemma: at the Sunday-night cabinet meeting, Mossad chief Meir Dagan and Shin Bet GSS chief Avi Dichter came out squarely against the deal, warning that it will give Nasrallah a big boost and lead to further kidnappings; but Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon and head of intelligence Aharon Zeevi came out in favor, arguing precisely the oppositethat keeping all the terrorists in Israeli prisons is what will encourage further hostage-taking ventures whereas freeing them will deprive Nasrallah of his main cards.

The 420 prisoners that Israel holds were caught 'in flagrante delicto' and legally apprehended, tried and then sentenced as criminals.

Hizbullah OTOH has purposefully kidnapped civilians and soldiers so they can HAVE bodies to exchange for their terrorists held by Israel. [Hizbullah's lust for torture can't be ruled out either]

assuming the article is accurate...

Moshe Yaalon and Aharon Zeevi think that after the *SWAP* Hizbullah are less apt to kidnap Israeli civilians and soldiers.

Huh?

They *MUST* be smoking some illegal combo;
pcp + crack + drano? what ever it is, it's making them way confused.

Israel snatched these two skidmarks in Lebanon a few years ago. Sheik Obeid and Mustafa Dirani

we call 'em the Abu Zits

#3 Fuck almighty, the forehead callouses are patently visible on those two! TALK ABOUT A MARK OF THE DEVIL!

Your comments are spot on, RD!

Israel goes to great lengths when it comes to grabbing those complicit with terrorist activities.

Hezbollah could care less whom they grab for their sordid ransom demands. Nasrallah and his command chain really need swift extermination more than anything else.

Tikkun Olam (literally: fixing the world; for the good order of the world; as a precaution for the general good). RD, thank you so much for posting this article. I have always understood Tikkun Olam as repairing the world. There is slight difference as I see it. If there is anything that propels Tikkun Olam, it is the battle against Islamic terrorism.

I had much to cite from your excellent link, RD. Instead, all I shall post is a summation from the worthy passages you linked to.

In other words, the public takes precedence over the individual, even if this endangers the individual. Exchanging hundreds or thousands of terrorists for one Israeli encourages kidnapping of Israelis, and frees hundreds or thousands of terrorists who will pick up their weapons and attack Israel. In other words, it endangers the public and should not be done.

Thank you so much for posting the above photo. Never could I have believed that there was so clearly a mark of the Devil. Now I know that there is one. Bless you, RD.
