Does it not occur to anyone else that as much as he may obviously want to be released, they probably wrote what he was supposed to say and held a gun to his head while he read it? Or otherwise tortured him to the point at which he would? I feel sickened. We need to free him, and at the same time we cannot let more Kuntars run free and kill more of our people.

Poor lad, I hope he gets home safe eventually.

Some of the comments here are so full of hatred. Look into your own hearts before you speak of evil in others.

@Mohamed636 I am unaware of Israel targeting children in Lebanon; let alone ONLY children. Are you making the point that Israel was not targeting Hezbollah? You must know something I don't; please share. Children die at wars, that's why wars are so awful, but I think it's self-evident that every child's death is very much against Israel's best interest. Thank you for being civil btw.

@OptimisticLock I hope by saying that you dont mean Israel doesnt target children and civilians. When i was in lebanon during the war in 2006 thats what they were ONLY targeting.

[OptimisticLock]

@Mohamed636 Then why don't your "freedom fighters" target soldiers, like normal resistance fighters do? Why kids? Fighting soldiers takes guts? And how can occupation end now, after the spike of terror following Israel's unilateral retreat from Gaza. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but no one with half a brain will repeat that mistake now.

[Mohamed636]

@OptimisticLock The Israeli army are the biggest murderers..you guys are so selfish. Your occupying a fucking country and you don't expect retaliation? They are not murderers, I'm sorry but i strongly disagree and you have to open your eyes

[OptimisticLock]

@Mohamed636 Look who was released in exchange for him. Not just some innocent kids. A murderer upon a murderer.
