| Hezbollah hands over letter from missing Israeli airman |
| 2007-10-23 |
| Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah has given Israel a letter written by an air force navigator who has been missing for more than 20 years, an Israeli newspaper reported on Monday. Written by Ron Arad to his wife in 1986 shortly after he was captured in Lebanon during the civil war, the letter was handed over to Israel as part of a prisoner and body swap with Hezbollah last week. His wife Tami confirmed the letter was from her husband by the handwriting and the intimate endearments they used for each other, IsraelÂ’s top-selling Yediot Aharonot newspaper reported. Arad has been missing since he ejected from an fighter-bomber in 1986 during LebanonÂ’s 1975-90 civil war. He was captured by another Shiite movement, Amal, headed by Nabih Berri who is now speaker of the Lebanese parliament. Israel refuses to declare Arad officially dead. In January 2006, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said he was probably dead although he had no proof. |

| #3 Yup, Israel has bought and paid for Arad's letter ten times over. Nasrallah is directly behind this vicious cruelty and all of it pivots upon the potential release of child-killer Samir Kuntar which continues to feed this entire Kabuki act. This entire farce is designed to fuel internal dissension within Israel and put the Jews at each others' throats whilst Nasrallah gleefully steps back and only reaches in to twist the blade every so often. Nasrallah should have been Yassinated many years ago, even if it required killing him in a packed kindergarten schoolhouse. |

| #1 Written by Ron Arad to his wife in 1986 shortly after he was captured in Lebanon ....which means unless he died of the chickenpox, he was probably |
