Pisoners to be swapped for Goldwasser, Regev -Herb Keinon
[T]he cabinet overwhelmingly agreed to swap notorious Lebanese prisoner Samir Kuntar for the bodies of captured IDF reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev...
Olmert's decision to back the swap came even as the head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and Mossad advised against accepting the deal, and even though Olmert said that it was almost certain that Regev and Goldwasser were not alive, but were either killed during the kidnapping attempt or died shortly thereafter from their wounds.
The prime minister added that Hizbullah likely abducted the two soldiers precisely for the purpose of releasing Kuntar...

'Decision shows Hizbullah's strength'
The decision to release Samir Kuntar reflected Hizbullah's strength, the group said.
"What happened is a proof that the word of the resistance is the most faithful, strongest and supreme," Hizbullah's Executive Council chief Hashem Safieddine [said].

Not a personal affair -Caroline Glick
On April 21, 1979, Kuntar and four other terrorists infiltrated Israel from Lebanon. Kuntar entered the Nahariya apartment belonging to Danny and Smadar Haran and their daughters, two-year-old Yael and Einat, a four-month-old baby.
Kuntar forced Danny and Einat to the beach below. There he shot Danny in the head and then drowned him in the sea. He crushed Einat's skull on a rock with his rifle butt. Smadar evaded capture by hiding in a crawlspace of their apartment with Yael. While trying to keep Yael silent, Smadar inadvertently suffocated her.
Kuntar has pledged that if released, he will join Hizbullah and continue his quest to bring about the destruction of Israel. He has no regrets.
It is impossible to know precisely how many Israelis will be killed in the future if the deals now on the table are approved. But past experience shows that dozens of Israelis now innocently going about their business will be murdered by the terrorists Israel releases. That Israel will pay a price in blood if the deals go through is a certainty.
Israel's troubles will not end until our leaders and our media finally accept that Israel's collective fate is not the personal affair of any one of us.
