Religion of Peace update: Lebanon hails release of child-murdering jihadist

Posted 17 Jul 2008 in jihadists, Religion of Peace update, terrorism, war


I’m shocked and disappointed to hear the news that Israel agreed to a prisoner exchange with Hezbollah, releasing a brutal Lebanese terrorist in trade for the mutilated bodies of Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.

In its exchange with Hezbollah, Israel freed Samir Kantar, a Lebanese militant convicted of killing a father in front of his 4-year-old daughter, and then killing her by crushing her skull with a rifle butt.
[...]
The lopsided prisoner swap — trading Kantar and the others for bodies — raised questions in Israel about its policy of bringing back its soldiers, dead or alive, at any price.

My thoughts exactly. If Israel is willing to release live terrorists in trade for dead Israelis, what incentive do the terrorists have for keeping their captives alive? And why enable convicted killers to continue their slaughter against your citizens?

Furthermore, appeasing these savages only emboldens their culture of death. Kantar wasted no time in pledging to continue his jihad.

In Beirut, the five freed prisoners dressed in military fatigues walked a red carpet laid out for them to the grave of Imad Mughniyeh, a shadowy figure Israel and the West accused of masterminding terrorist bombings in the 1980s and 1990s. He was killed in a car bomb in neighboring Syria in February which Hezbollah blamed on Israel. Israel denied it.

“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 Kantar, who had been the longest-held Lebanese prisoner in Israel.

He referred to Mughniyeh’s “martyrdom,” saying, “This is our great wish. We envy you and we will achieve it, God willing.”

Osama bin Laden once claimed, “…when the people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they naturally gravitate toward the strong horse.” Israel’s actions today portray them as weaklings to the Arab world, willing to concede to terrorist tactics.

Hamas officials said the swap with Hezbollah proved that Israel only understands the language of kidnapping and violence.

Meanwhile, Israel issued empty threats:

Israeli security officials warned on Thursday that Lebanese murderer Samir Kantar, who was freed in a prisoner swap after nearly three decades behind bars, should now fear for his own 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,” one of the officials told AFP.

“If there is a chance for Israel to close the file on Kantar, Israel won’t hesitate,” he added, speaking on condition of anonymity.

I call bullshit, as do the thousands of bloodthirsty Lebanese who greeted these jihadi psychopaths like rock stars. If Israel was serious about executing terrorists, they should have done so while they had Kantar in their grasp. This ill-advised prisoner exchange will only ensure more terrorist attacks and more dead Israelis in the near future.
