Israel: Freed Lebanese Prisoner Should Fear for His Life
The Daily Telegraph ^ | July 18, 2008 | Carolynne Wheeler

Jerusalem — Israeli security officials have said that Samir Kantar, the Lebanese murderer who was freed in a prisoner exchange after nearly three decades behind bars, should now fear for his life.

"Every terrorist who committed an act of terror against Israel, especially someone like Kantar, who killed a little child and two other people, is a target," an official said.

Another security official told the Yediot Aharonot newspaper: "Now that he is out of jail, we have no obligation towards Kantar, a loathsome murderer whose accounts will be settled in the end."

Mr. Kantar, who will be 46 next week, was 17 when he was sentenced to five life terms for one of the most notorious attacks in Israeli history.

He was convicted of killing a police officer, a civilian, and a four-year-old girl, whose skull he was accused of crushing with his rifle butt, in a raid in the northern Israeli town of Nahariya.

Ehud Olmert's morally depraved side kicks need to drop the self-serving BS! A civilized country executes murderers the first chance it gets, not make after the fact excuses for its failure to give the killer his well deserved reward. Nothing will happen to him.

The high price of the exchange — five Lebanese prisoners and nearly 200 bodies for Goldwasser, Regev, and parts of dead Israeli soldiers — has prompted debate in Israel over whether the Jewish state should continue to retrieve its fallen at any cost.

The Israelis need to stop this practice. They are merely encouraging these terrorist to commit more kidnappings. When they trade for dead victims they encourage the kidnappers to kill their victims.

What is there to debate? It is self evident.

I believe the US Marines motto of leave no man behind. That motto is however referring to the battle field. These men were not taken on a battle field.

This is not Olmert’s fault (not executing the child murderer) as the crime was committed about 30 years ago.

What an interesting idea, keeping Gitmo in mind. Let the prisoner go, and then kill him when he’s at large.

This is his fault because the least he could have done is send Kuntar back home to his friends in a coffin.

Stick a digital angel chip in his backside, follow him via GPS, and in a week drop a JDAM on him....

JDAM’s cost about 40,000, the Israeli Taxpayer would save 25 more years of incarceration costs that way...

No, it is the Israeli state's fault for not dispensing justice thirty years ago. Or even last year. Or even last week.

Nothing like appearing craven and cowardly to encourage your enemies to attack you again.

How many more people will die because of this mistake?

As for this human piece of used food, having been in Israeli hands for over 25 years he must regard every day as a gift from the moon god. Why would he fear the Israelis now?

Besides, Israel either abolished the death penalty or it didn't. Killing him now only adds hypocrisy to their list of failings.

Setting this scum free is a low point in the history of modern Israel. He will be whisked quickly out of Lebanon to be safely ensconced in Syria, where he will only be seen in public to raise funds for Hizbollah and other terrorist enterprises. Israel's action will only invite more kidnappings and murders of its citizens.

The Israelis lauding terrorism and terrorists probably
created thousands of new terrorists.

With the same morons in power, thousands of Israelis who
are now targets ought fear for their own lives.
