Once again the Israelis give up too much and get too little

After Israeli reservists return in coffins, VIPs embrace their families: "Israeli media indulged in maudlin reportage about the 'return of the sons' and the 'reuniting of the families.' But the shameful truth was otherwise. Israel had given in to a deal that surrendered a child-murderer to Hezbollah and received in return only the bodies of soldiers that Hezbollah itself was likely to have murdered in captivity. All of the solemn ceremonies could not quite conceal the humiliation."

Jubilant Arab leaders, including Abbas, welcome child-killer Kuntar as hero: "West Bank chieftain Mahmoud Abbas congratulated the family of Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar, freed on Wednesday with four Hezbollah fighters. Abbas welcomed the swap and congratulated the families of the 'liberated prisoners.' Kuntar has been imprisoned in Israel since 1979, after he carried out one of the grisliest attacks in Israeli history - killing a father in front of his 4-year-old daughter, and then killing the girl by crushing her skull with his rifle butt."

Again, the Israelis mourn their losses and the terrorist scum celebrate the killers of innocent children. Moral equivalency my ass!
