Israel should have murdered this child killer a long time ago.

Leila, of course the woman who survived is a plain liar. Sure there must be mistakes in the Israeli media, but never as many as in the Arab press, e.g. Firas or Palestine Today. Reading Dick Tracey is much more fun and accurate.

After watching Heikel and listening to all the documents he held , we now know the Arab soldiers were not only badly trained , not properly armed but were not meant to fight seriously but just show up . the Arab leaders wanted to remain in power , fighting honestly would have lost them their thrones >
reading Moshe Dayan accounts on the 67 war, i found that it was all provoked by Israel and the Israeli generals had fun doing so , to capture the fertile land especially the Golan heights. It was the settlers dream and they had to find a way to get there, even if they had to push the tractors and provoke the syrians to fire . (read Moshe Dayans notes about the Golan Heights , you ll be amazed )

I have heard that Samir al Quntar did not kill the 4years old , he did not want what happened to her in the chaos and shot guns by the Israeli trying to free her father . Samir wanted to keep her faither as prisoner to exchange him for more Arab prisoners but the IOF killed the father , while trying to rescue him . Dont trust the israeli media , they lie and try to convince you they are telling the truth . remember the 3 iranian soldiers they found in summer 2006? where are they ? remember 400 hezbollah bodies ? remember how the tanks fired on their own in Beit Hanoun Nov 2006 and killed 20 civilians of the same family ? remember how Huda Ghallia family was killed by a Ghost on the Beach , while the Israeli gunships faced them in Gaza beach ? their lies are too numerous to list .

Your perspective echos the propaganda campaign spewed by the arab media. I can’t wait for you to tell us all how israel lost the six day war in 67 next.

UK/Leb Patriot, I’m sorry but you seem to be no different from every other boring brainwashed incredulous Arab, blinded by indiscriminate hatred. News to you perhaps, but even Augustus Richard Norton, no friend of Israel’s, and one of Hezbollah’s most dedicated, most consistent apologists, is appalled by the whole Kuntar affair. Perhaps he will now embark on a corrective to his shoddily researched and very, very badly written Hezbollah: A Brief Snow-Job?? But in the meantime, you should continue drinking the coolaid; no hope for you.

Name one, ONE, “credible scholar” who argues “that the Israeli version of the Kuntar operation is a very distorted one…” Unless you consider hack writers and whacked out contrarians like Cole and Abukhalil scholars.

Anyway, I have it straight from the horse’s mouth, one of your own, the radicals’ hero, the very articulate, very credible, and very-much-in-bed with Hezbollah, the Palestinians, and all of your useless Arab causes; Richard Norton. Give me one “credible scholar” that is capable of discrediting Norton, and that has publically done so… (and please, leave out (the incredible) Juanito Cole, Asshead Abukhalil, and Nutty Norman Finklestein…)

It is ludicrous what you and your fellow bloggers are trying to do. Every credible scholar agrees that the Israeli version of the Kuntar operation is a very distorted one which has been propagated around the world to demonise Kuntar and his borthers-in-arms.

I find it peculiar that you guys take this distorted version – issued by the enemy – as factual truth. Israeli credibility is not so brilliant given small children are branded terrorists.

Samir Quntars trial – and what he said in it – has been kept secret and, in 2006, was released in secret too. However, if any of you had the time to actually read what he and many witnesses said, then you may like to think otherwise.

To make life easier, I will breif it for you:- Samir Quntar killed one Israeli policeman. He did not bang a 4-year olds head into a rock. I very factual error in that myth is, looking at each one of your comments and all other accounts in the Israeli media, each one of you seems to have their own variance in what had happened. One person is saying he banged her head into a rock, another he banged her head with a rock, another he banged her head with the butt of his rifle, then another is saying he banged her head with both the butt of his rifle and a rock! Make up your minds already.

It’s bullshit, that’s what it is. Kuntars crew had been on an operation to abduct Israeli reservists/policemen/soldiers. They ran into trouble while on their mission and entered a block and took one of the families in their hostage to try and negotiate a safe retreat. The Israeli policemen refused and went on a rampage, endangering the family’s lives. Friendly fire, or COLLATERAL DAMAGE, killed the father and one policeman. Another policeman was killed by Kuntar. The young 4-year-old was killed after a peice of concrete hit her head after a hand-grenade was thrown at the apartment – presumably aimed at the Kuntar crew. They had been in an apartment block, where the hell can you find a rock in there? Or was that a lethal accessory back in those days?

God, I hope “Muntaqim” is either a troll or just a crazy person, because if his post embodies what a part of the Shia populace is feeling, then we’re in big trouble.

This guy isn’t serious, right? I read his talkbalk and my head spun – are there actually people out there like this who can also read and write and actually walk around in the world? I mean…I’m kinda blanking out right now. Frankly, as a UK Jew, this guy scares me.

Thank you Muntaqim. I will remember your kind words next time I hook up bombs under the wings of our warplanes.

ha ha, “change your name to something Italian”, priceless! In that case, Montaqem should sound something like “Mono”, or “Taco”. Close enough to Italian, I think. But come to think of it, I like Italians. They gave us Verdi, Da Vinci, Virgil, Dante, Galileo, ahem, something called the Renaissance, Sistene Chapel, the epitome of mankind’s humanistic genius! Why do people like Kuntar and Montaqem have to show for? lemme think… …
blank!

Equalizer:
From a list of 7th century Muslim battles and those related activities I once calculated that altogether the various examples were collectively equivalent to something like 225 years of war.

But why is it that repeatedly in history books one reads that those armies somehow “swept” through cities (as if with brooms!) frequently without mention of the actual slaughter that occurred? Conquerors occupied conquered lands and called themselves righteous. None more self-righteous than those conquerors and their versions of history?

Is it a Middle Eastern cultural habit to ignore the merciless facts? Recently an Iraqi recalled: “…a band of Islamic militiamen swept through their neighborhood…” actually, he added, his brother taken and murdered as a result of that event.

It should be clear who was the perpetrator (Quntar) and who were the victims (father and child)…except to those with a Mafia mentality…like Muntaqim who is forever self-righteous.

“the fact that he has not broken in Zionist jail over these decades. What strength and resolve!”
Muntaqrin, I find this statement quite interesting, when I look at the pictures of his celebrated return i can’t help but notice how fat and happy he looks! It hardly looks as though his “zionist” captors have been mistreating much. in fact he seems quite well fed for a man who’s spent 29 years in an israeli jail, I would say he looked a lot healthier than say what Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev looked. just an observation
