I have been heartened to see that a very big chunk of Jerusalem Post viewers actually appear to be mentally rather normal regarding the Kuntar release. Some of the comments being written are, believe it or not, quite Chaimfanesque.
It's just too bad that many of these posters are from the USA/Canada and not Israel, where their views are desperately needed.
There are many articles about this abomination up on JPost; I will provide just one link and cite some of the remarks I especially liked:
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1215330987261&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFullThe Regev's & Goldwassers should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Now every person in the IDF is marked for death.
Bravo you two families. You have made Israel into a joke.
ABSOLTELY no respect for these 2 families
To force the entire country to be humilated and disgraced to release a multi-murdering anti-semite so they could have 2 dead bodies brought back! 2 dead bodies because they were tortured and killed by fellow anti-semites. What's next Olmertgiving back the Golan Heights? Then Palestinian's right of return for to extinguish Israel? How has Olmert been allowed to remain in power? Or even in Israel?
A COUNTRY OF CINDY SHEEHANS
this was never about Goldwasser and Regev - they have been dead for 2 years. This is about sacrificing a country's security for the appearance of liberalism and photo ops. You are not a moral society but a silly and weak one. Kuntar will kill again.
(Chaimfan's note: This was my favorite statement.)
I can't feel sympathy
I really can't feel sympathy for the families. I want to, but really can't. This was SO utterly wrong. Of course, Hizbullah is THE evil and cruel and immoral force, may Nazrallah soon depart for his eternal reward. But aside from the family getting some relief, nothing good was done here. Only long-term damage to a vast majority of Israel. This government MUST go.
