Hezbollah hands over coffins in prisoner swap

Post by Chiron »

ROSH HANIKRA, Israel - Lebanese guerrillas on Wednesday turned over to the Red Cross two black coffins believed to contain the bodies of Israeli soldiers captured two years ago, as a prisoner exchange with Israel got under way.

Family and friends outside the homes of the two captured soldiers burst into tears as they watched the handover on television.

And I would take the hezbollah terrorists they are exchanging live to the exchange. Just as the transfer is to take place, execute them all. Still give the bodies, but with the statement; “You return ours dead, we shall do the sameâ€

Israel is not stupid, they are a smart nation, and they know what they are doing. The Shitbags they gave back are obviously going to retaliate and start blowing shit up in Israel. This will give the Israelis the right of way to enter in to the boundaries and kill these guys and in the mean time it will take down more then they came for. By doing this the media wont be up Israel’s ass 24/7, the people they give back is just a mask for there actions. Besides if masked gunmen slaughter an Israeli prisoner on TV will be a propaganda spear, and you will see more young kids picking up arms and strapping bombs. Israel can get prisoners anytime they want. Remember Israel is suppose to be the civilized one, they need to keep this image. Sorry couldn’t help it, I love this stuff. Shutting the fuck up now.

Rangers,

Don't know if I'm out of my place but thought I'd comment...
I think This only gives these militants more of an incentive to kidnap Israeli soldiers and/or high ranking officials because they know Israel will try to recover these prisoners at just about any cost. It also gives the militants an incentive to kill the prisoners they capture, as the recent prisoner exchange was very unbalanced (4,000 Hezbollah prisoners for two deceased soldiers). Its great Israel will recover every soldier it has lost, but this may increase the possibility of more kidnappings by Hezbollah.

Please refrain from posting on topics you're not very familiar with. Your efforts to educate us on Israel's motives only served to broadcast your ignorance.

Thanks

Ranger, I should’ve reworded it. I’m not trying to educate anyone on anything and I will knock some out. That is just my thoughts on the subject. There is always a pattern to everything. Refraining now.

The Lebanese definitely got the better end of that deal. Two dead guys for five alive guys and a bunch of dead guys.
