Lebanese prisoners released vow to continue fighting Israel
Lebanese prisoners released in swap vow to continue fighting Israel


Five militants who were freed Wednesday as part of a prisoner swap between Israel and Hezbollah, on Thursday prayed at a slain Hezbollah military commander's grave, pledging to follow in his footsteps and continue fighting Israel.

"This time yesterday I was in the hands of the enemy. But at this moment, I am yearning more than before to confront them," Kuntar said. "Hezbollah's weapons are a red line that no one should be allowed to cross," he told reporters.

1. Maybe they shouldn't have been released?

2. In my humble opinion
only the dead should be exchanged for the dead and alive for alive, in equal numbers.

4. No that was not done.
Did Israel get back any live soldiers? If so, who are they?

5. Just as I thought
dead Arabs mean nothing, even when it is 288 dead to every 1 living.

7. Sir I have said that myself with no maybe
I have also said that a part of me would not have blamed Israel for not going through with the deal once it was found that both Regev and Goldwasser were dead.

9. I think it's natural for someone like Kuntar to vow
to keep doing the only thing he ever knew; killing Jews. And I think it natural for him to hate Israel for being his jailer; most criminals never develop a love for their captors.

Face it, he needs a job and his benefactors are willing to give him one. Plus that avocation gives Israel another shot at him. Win win situation unless he gets to Jews before Israel gets to him.

10. "We swear by God to continue on your same path
snip...

Wearing military fatigues, the five men walked down a red carpet laid out for them outside Imad Mughniyeh's burial spot at a cemetery south of Beirut.

"We swear by God to continue on your same path and not to retreat until we achieve the same stature that God bestowed on you," said Samir Kuntar, who had been the longest-held Lebanese prisoner in Israel until his release on Wednesday. Kuntar was convicted of murdering three Israelis in a 1979 terror attack in Nahariya.

Kuntar referred to Mughniyeh's martyrdom, saying "this is our great wish. We envy you and we will achieve it," God willing.

If his wish is to become a martyr then somebody needs to grant his wish.
