Yes, there’s cake, and true to the degenerate spirit of the event, it’s cut with a scimitar. Israel’s planning to hit the local bureau of AJ with sanctions as punishment, but I don’t see why. Israel made this possible. Olmert might as well have been named on the invitations as an honorary co-host.
Say this much for the decision to free him, though: Outside of Hamas’s kiddie death-porn pageants, you won’t find a neater example of jihadists and their “moderate” Arab sympathizers reveling in their own cretinism than the celebrations they’re having for this turd. It’s propaganda gold, albeit at an unusually steep price. Be sure to watch the second clip below, or at least skim the transcript, after you’re done with the party for a taste of the rhetoric that’s made him such a hero to our partners in peace. Exit quotation: “If we do not put an end to this disease, it will follow us, even if we flee to the end of the world. So it’s better to get rid of it.” Click the images to watch.

Utterly disgusting. It shows their true colors.

Looks well fed. I noticed that the Isreali sodiers traded for this scum looked a little “thin” in their black coffins.
ej_pez on July 23, 2008 at 11:03 AM
Now that he is free, can’t they just send the Mossad to kill him? Olmert has screwed the pooch here and needs to man up. Just get him off the TV already!

Hopefully, Olmert will be gone in September.

All the moderates must be on summer holidays.
So when we look at these folks we are to separate them in our minds from the gallant Iraqis that we owe a living to? Both groups Muslim and slaves of the same demon? For election purposes?

The only disease existing right now is this waste of what used to be a human being. Only thing anyone can hope for is that sooner or later, he will do this again, this time to one of his own. Then Al-Jazeera can broadcast the images of his head being kicked down the street after he gets it loped off his shoulders

In my book, Olmert is worse than this savage. Despite being a deranged child killer, at least Kuntar is loyal to his people, which can not be said about Olmert.

We have to wait a bit, disaster deal notwithstanding, we released him as part of our word in the deal. Even though I feel strongly we have sealed a death sentence for any of our civilians or military now captured by our enemies, if we killed him within a week of release we will have most certainly sealed the deal of the death of our people on capture, even more than this terrible deal in the 1st place. Also we have what we pray is live young soldier in Gaza.. To kill Kuntar now is to seal Gilad Shalit’s fate.
Error compounded on error is not the way to go imho, we’ll get him, we’ll kill him dead. If we let sheer bloodlust drive us, we will be no better than these pond scums. Better to let Justice play out, even if it means cooling our jets a bit. We’re making lists & taking names and we will kill them all, one at a time if need be. Rest assured neither Kuntar or Nassrallah will live natural lives.
saus on July 23, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Exactly, these monsters give ‘no quarter’ so why it is the left-tards got their pink panties in a bunch when we water board these turds!
Some of our leaders (due to pressure from the left-tards) are being much too PC about this war and how we are fighting it and the result is our enemy using our PC and sense of humanity against us. It’s the old adage of using fire to fight fire, now I am in no way want to condone the whole sale killing of innocent people but we need to eradicate the PC factor when it comes to fighting the GWOT.
That said, when we capture these monsters we need to do whatever is necessary to get the information we need and if our enemy continues to launch attacks from civilian neighborhoods or seek shelter in a mosque to re-arm and plan then these sites are legitimate targets and we need to take them out and in doing so our enemy will get the picture real quick that we mean business and there is no longer any safe sanctuary.

What sickens me is the liberals’ support for these scum and their bullsh*t cause. It’s so radical chic for the parroting pukes to spout “peace in the Middle East” without knowing the first thing about the reality of the situation.
Arafat (piss be upon him) proved that they are not interested coexistence, or any solution that does not involve the destruction of Israel. There is nothing noble about this kind of hatred or any philosophy that advances itself with the blood of children and the truly depraved brainwashing of young minds.

Aristotle:
Releasing Kuntar in return for the Israeli soldiers is seen by most Israelis as loyalty. Kuntar himself agrees:
“To tell you the truth, we envy our enemies, the way they care for a body and will go to the end of the world to recover it, and how they care for their hostages and will go all the way to return them.”

BL@CKBIRD:
Even though Wikipedia says that “some Druze identify themselves as Muslims,” the Druze are not Muslims. That’s OK, you can always rationalize Samir’s “evil” from the fact that he is a communist. BTW, how many communist Muslims do you know?
The story that Kuntar smahed in the 4-year-olds head is propaganda. When the incident happened, Israel also accused Kuntar of killing the the 2 year old as well. An AP reporter, however, reported that the 2 year old was accidentally smothered by the mother. If the AP had not discovered this, Kuntar would still be considered the murderer of the 2 year old as well. It wasn’t until 14 years later that the “smash the 4 year olds head on a rock” story came out - in the Jeruselem Post. Why do you think it took so long for the “truth” to come out?

dave742 on July 23, 2008 at 3:38 PM
“An AP reporter, however, reported that the 2 year old was accidentally smothered by the mother.”
Sure, “accidentally”.
He was smothered by his mother, because his mother rightfully feared that your hero and role model, would kill her and her family.
HE WAS THE MURDERER OF THE 2 YEAR OLD IN THAT CASE, YOU COMPLETE JACKASS.
Samir and his buddies have less humanity than cockroaches and deserve to be treated as such. Carpet bomb them all.
NoDonkey on July 23, 2008 at 3:49 PM
NoDonkey:
This is how the incident was initially reported by Israel:
“The terrorists then stormed an apartment and took Danny Harran, 28, and his 4-year-old daughter, Annette, hostage after killing a second daughter, Yarl, 2, according to an Israeli Army spokesman.”
Regardless of whether Kuntar is legally resopnsible for the 2 year olds death, my point is that Israel initially made it appear that Kuntar had killed the 2 year old directly. Killing a child by your own hand is different than the mother killing her accidentally. The initial story was only dropped when the AP reporter found out the truth about the smothering.
dave742 on July 23, 2008 at 4:08 PM
NoDonkey:
Who are Samir’s “buddies”? The Druze? The PLF? How can you carpet bomb only the Druze? or the PLF? Or are all Lebanese citizens responsible for the actions of Kuntar?
dave742 on July 23, 2008 at 4:14 PM
I would argue that what this POS did was actually worse than kill the child himself and I really am indifferent to the accuracy of the reporting.
Just imagine your wife smothering your son to death, because she was afraid of her entire family being slaughtered and that his cries would alert this Samir POS.
I would happily gouge Samir’s eyeballs out with my own bare hands and force feed them to him. I don’t give a damn about splitting hairs about how the story was reported.
NoDonkey on July 23, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Who were the good Germans in Dresden?
We knew when to stop bombing when they were no longer able to kill the jews or any other innocent people.
I am sure that there were Nazi symps who hated the jews post-WWII, but they couldn’t do a whole lot about it.
NoDonkey on July 23, 2008 at 4:18 PM
NoDonkey:
Maybe Samir feels that same about Israel. Maybe you two have more in common than you think.
dave742 on July 23, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Dave742, Kuntar is a muslim, practices it to such an extent he is willing to martyr himself in his own words - Did you even view the video links??
Btw there are many Islamic Communists, your ignorance, or should I say possibly selective use of reality is astounding. Go look up the MEK, Mujahadeen-e-Khalq, The People’s Mujahedin of Iran, communist islamists, go look up the PLFP, Palestinians with communist ideology yet Islamic, I can list endless examples of left wing Islamic groups with heavy socialist / communist ideals & ties, also many many westerners with socialist / communist ideals sympathize with Islamists in an unholy alliance, because there is a historical precedent for these common causes.
Islam itself has many parallels to socialist communist ideals, it has strong Marxist support philosophically, sharia law calls for redistribution of wealth, heavy social stress in society - do you even know anything about these things or do you just pull talking points off the Jew hating websites? I try not to respond to you Dave for the benefit of my fellow forum goers who surely tire rapidly of this back forth, but sometimes the audacity is just too much.
saus on July 23, 2008 at 4:37 PM
I’m quite sure that he does. He’s wrong.
And one reason we were able to defeat the Nazis is because we were certain they were unspeakably evil. They told us. We believed it.
Samir and his brethren are telling us the exact same thing, but a large contingent of our population is telling us not to believe them.
I believe Samir. And I want Samir and people who think like him, dead. Before they can act on their beliefs.

Really? Do you know Avi Dichter? He’s Israel’s Minister of Public Security and a member of Knesset. Here’s what he says:
“Iran had never put in Lebanon strategical weapons in order to release Samir Kuntar. By the way, he’s a Druze. He’s not a Muslim, he’s not an Iranian and he’s not a Shia.”

It is not true that you need to be a Muslim to be willing to martyr yourself. Was the guy at the end of the movie “Independence Day” a Muslim because he killed himself by flying into the alien spaceship? He didn’t look Muslim.
Did you know that most suicide bombers are secular? I doubt it.
You are correct that the MEK combines Islam and Marxism. This, however, is the only example, and comes from the nutbag Rajavi. Your claim that the PFLP is Islamic is ridiculous, and shows that you are an imbecile.
Did you know that the MEK was the primary group responsible for the embassy takeover in 1979? That is the main reason that they are now on the US terrorist list. Did you know that FOX News employs a member of the MEK? Do you think it’s right for FOX News to have terrorists on their payroll? Do you know that Congress quotes MEK members in the text of its bills in Congress? Do you think Congress should quote terrorists in its laws? Did you know that the US now supports the MEK to commit terrorist acts in Iran? Do you think its right for the US to support terrorists?
Hey, I know how Israel can find Kuntar! They can look up “Samir Kuntar: in the telephone book and have some commandos go pick him up!
Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dave742 on July 23, 2008 at 6:28 PM
We have Druze in Israel, there are Druze in Syria, Lebanon etc. The Druze are not just a religion but also a people. The religion itself is a full offshoot of Islam, it believes in the Koran as a holy book, in the Prophet Muhamad as a Prophet. You speak of the Druze as if they are the 4th major religion of the world because you are a clown, beyond the fact that this is a full offshoot of Islam, most of the Druze people (this is a tiny sect) intermarry with other Muslims, take on the practice of full Muslims, Many Druze consider themselves Muslim, I know your Ayatollah would object, but then he considers most muslims infidels doesn’t he?
Do you think that the people in the PFLP are Jews? Do you not understand that Muslims take part in all forms of groups? Because a group holds socialist ideology or is even founded made up of secular people does that stop its members from being nearly all Muslim? Is a secular organization precluding Christians, what about secular Jews, I am secular compared to an orthodox Jewish person, does that mean I cannot be a part or even found a marxist group made up of Jews? The founders of communism Marxism were Jews.
This is the only example LOL, sure it is. Gamal Abdel Nassar, the pan Arabic leader / failure of Egypt was a muslim socialist. Muammar al-Gaddafi? You clearly don’t know what you are talking about..
Libya - Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Republic - Population, 97% Muslim. A sunni Muslim country yet practicing fully Islam, and Socialism.
The MEK was not responsible for the hostage crisis, they perhaps supported the action since they supported the Islamic revolution, but calling them the primary group is yet another one of your fantasies. The Hostage crisis was carried out by hundreds of radical theocratic University members, all of a sudden it was the MEK? LOL.
The MEK was considered a terrorist group as a gesture to the reformers in Iran where the MEK is detested because it is a threat to Iran’s Clerics, this was in the late 90’s, this has nothing to do with the hostage crisis, keep making it up as you go..

So what. All religions are offshoots of other religions. This does not make them the same religion. Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. Does that mean Christians are Jews? How do you feel about Avi Dichter thinking that Islam and Druze are different religions? Stop being an imbecile.
When an Arab makes a choice to join a resistance group, the religious, practicing Muslim will make the choice to join Hamas rather than the PFLP. The secular Arab will join the PFLP. Stop being an imbecile.
Kuntar is a communist. We were talking about communist Muslims. Show me a reference that describes either Nassar or Gaddafi as communists. Imbecile.
Do you know a guy named John McCain? At his request, the FBI wrote a report on the MEK which was given to the 103rd Congress (Go to thomas.gov/ , click on Congressional Record, then on 103rd Congress, and search “MEK”. Results = “Supporting the Right Opposition Groups in Iran and Iraq”)
From that report:
“MEK perpetrated bombings and assassinations, after the aborted maiden effort in 1971, resumed in 1972. The organization’s targets included US military advisors stationed in Iran. For example, the MEK claimed responsibility for the assassination of US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Hawkins in 1973, the assassination of US Air Force Colonel Paul Schaeffer in 1975, and the assassination of US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner, also in 1975. The MEK also targeted US civilians associated with defense projects (five killed in 1976)…the MEK was also intimately involved in the takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Eyewitnesses and MEK documents indicate that the MEK led the assault on the Embassy and then pleaded with Khomeini not to engage in dialogue with the United States government, nor release the American hostages seized during the action. In fact, Congressional testimony indicates that Rajavi insisted to Khomeini that there was much more to gain by holding the hostages than by releasing them.”)
When I said that the MEK was a “primary group” responsible for the hostage crisis, I was thinking about the FBI report that was requested by McCain that said the MEK was “intimately involved” in the embassy takeover and that they “led the assault on the Embassy,” and that Rajavi pressured Khomeini to take a hard line with the US. Maybe I am just relying on BS sources.
And from Front Page magazine: “MEK members actively took part in the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, according to a U.S. government report.”
Just another BS source, I guess.
Also, see the National Post article that says: “In 1979, the MEK announced that, ‘After the Shah, it’s America’s turn.’ And that same day, MEK members took part in the storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. U.S. hostages were held captive, with MEK help, for 444 days.”
