Samir Kuntar, Terrorist Child-Killer, Gets Hero's Welcome Upon Release To Lebanon That Encourages Further Kidnapping

The French news agency AFP reported that "the coastal road from the Israeli border to the southern port city of Sidon had been covered with Hizbullah decorations, and hundreds of volunteers had been hanging banners to praise Hizbullah’s role in the prisoners’ release throughout the south of the country. In Kuntar’s home in Abey, streets were decorated with banners welcoming the return of the former member of the radical Palestine Liberation Front. “Samir Kuntar is the conscience of Lebanon, Palestine and the Arab nation. Abey welcomes the hero, prisoner Samir Kuntar,” reads one sign. Meanwhile, a senior Hizbullah official has said Israel’s approval of a prisoner swap with his group was an 'official admission of defeat.'" Need I say more. The Israeli government ought to be ashamed with itself.

The following is a link to a video of the festivities upon the return of this scum (for whom words alone cannot describe his depravity) to Lebanon along with other live terrorists in exchange for the remains of two Israeli soldiers:

Here is another link to an article written in 2003 in the Washington Post by Smadar Haran Kaisar. She is the mother of the family that terrorist Samir Kuntar and his henchmen slaughtered. She describes what happened on that awful day:

Hassan Nasrallah celebrates with Samir Kuntar as thousands cheer. This makes me sick to my stomach. It is worse than a disgrace. Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah declares after Samir Kuntar gives him a kiss that "the age of defeat has passed and the age of victory is upon us." The sad truth is that Nasrallah is right. This can only be interpreted as another victory in a string of victories for Hezbollah. "What we've done now has made kidnapping soldiers the most profitable game in town. There is absolutely no reason why Hezbollah should not invest huge resources now, along with Hamas, in the next kidnapping," said Israeli security expert Martin Sherman. You don't believe an Israeli expert, I hear you say? Take Israel's enemies own words as proof. Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's spokesman said today that Israel "shows that the only successful way to free the prisoners is by kidnapping soldiers."
