haha... thanks for noticing that Raja.
oh... sorry it was an email you received.
next time we should all support france
VIVE LA FRANCE
I am sorry. sorry for each and every Innocent human being that has been hurt, dead, and his life been shattered.
I'm sorry and sad, and i admit it is almost impossible for me to see young Lebanese children being hurt or dead!
i am not sorry for any terrorist how is being killed, and i want them all to be dean or for them to surrender the sane part of the world, and for them to realize there must be other way then terror. if not -let them be dead
so the others can live in peace
God bless lebanies who are able to keep thier sence of humer even through the hardships :)

I think the best steps are
1) immidiate ceasfire
2) exchange of all prisoners
3) HA become a branch of lebanon army
4) Lebanon army on boarders
5) Sheba gave back to lebanon ( resolution 445 i guess )
6) Drawing boarders between Lebanon and syria
7) Isreal appologize for all the distruction made in lebanon
8) Lebanon appologize for Kidnaping Isreal Soldiers
yuval from tlv said.
dont forget that HA are lebanies first and last no matter how much some scream that they are iranian made organization therefore nobody especialy Isreal cant remove them from thier land . Isreal cant fight to kick them out of lebanon like he did in 1982 to phalastinian organizations .
HA memberes and thier families are lebanies and will stay in lebanon regardless of outcome of this war so its better if Isreal set realestic goals before killing more civilians
Thank you, thank you for the much needed civility on this blog. I have been reading nothing but hatred on so many blogs, hatred for all sides from all sides. All I wanted was to read some Lebanese blogs to see their perspectives, and wow, I kind of wish I hadn't. But I stumbled upon this one and have since linked to it. I also see you have linked to CIPE, where I work.
God speed the end to this wretched conflict with a solution that isn't going to last four or five years and then come back again.
Damn Italians! I knew it was all THEIR fault!
Barroon,
You say: 2) exchange of all prisoners.
I don't think so. There is only one Lebanese prisoner in Israel, a man who murdered a child with his rifle butt in cold blood. See this for further information.
Any exchange would invite Hizbullah to attack Israel in the future. It's a mistake Israel won't repeat.
shlemazl
good then.. its good news to know only one lebnani have been THAT much harming to Isreal to be kept as perisoner
Itai;
It is so sad you have called the greatest diplomatic butcher of the 20th century (Henry Kissinger) a bright man...
Obviously you do not give a penny for Cyprus, Chile, Greece and numerous other nations that have suffered in the past because of this "bright" man ...
I know definitely what to expect in the future so allow me not to take seriously your comments.
Natalie,
There is only one Lebanese prisoner
in Israel. He was caught in Israel having killed a man and a small child.
There are many hundreds of Lebanese in Syrian jails, mostly Christians captured in Lebanon for political activity. Why don't you shell Syria? Why don't you kidnap Syrian soldiers? Let's see what happens after that.
There are Lebanese who want to live in peace, but they are not generally supporters of Hesbollah.
THE MOST QUESTIONABLE VICTORY EVER
and so we proceed to fight eachother yet another night and yet another day..
so i ask us all to query for a second.. until when and until what.. if today there is any point at all to the fighting - how will know that this invisible point has gone? how will know that we have won?
do we want to kill everyone? probably not
will a cessation of rockets be a victory? well that which can stop can just as easily start again and then what..
will nasrallas death mean victory? i'm sure HA has adequate succession plans.. with many psychos eager to step up to the plate and earn world glamour
will the devestation of the terrorist infrastructure suffice? well the greatest infrastructure that terrorists have is their evil minds.. query how many of those we are cultivating by harming innocent people during our quest for security..
do we need to restore our pride and can we stop then? at that stage.. what exactly will we be proud of..
the "day after" is looking weirder and weirder by the second.. look at the USA and their spectacular/media smothered efforts to deter terrorists.. their hegemony sank like a bullet.. every international relations scholar will tell you that flexing muscles is the first sign of decline and weakness for a hegemon.. so what message are we really sending.. and onnce properly chewed swallowed and digested what will the world excrete back at us..
i have no idea in the world..
seeking only peace with myself my people and my neighbours

yuval from tlv
u talking about nepal bombs and how Israel can dust off villages and ( a country if he wish ) . THANK U for admitting it . no one doubt that and that is what every body in ME is concern about . “ The military power of Israel” + their arrogance to use it .
now why Israel should boder at all ? why not use his Nuclear weapon and finish HA- Villages and whatever else in the path and let u Israelis live in peace eventually ?
come on, use ur logic, telling every body about Israel power of distraction is nothing to be proud of!
IDF not killing and destroying more massive not bcuz they try to keep civilian life or minims damage , no one in reign will buy this argument . they only doing it bcuz they need some level of PR to present their selves as fighters of terror in world not as serial killers
I have a question ONLY for lebnanies reader , I will appreciate if Israelis ignore my Q and spare me from their answers , since I noticed in last 2 weeks 95% of commentors are either Israelis or pro-Israelis
My question : why Lebanon army didn’t try in last decade or at least in last year ( after Syrian withdraw ) to empower the army ability by purchasing and installing an air defense networks system . was it impossible for your government to close some deals military wise ?
Or this is also have something to do with HA-Syria- Iran ?
John
I cant talk in behalf of natalie or nasiba. but for so many ppl who i talked with the problem is not with Jews AT ALL, once again AT ALL.
its with Isreal goverment/policy/history/Military...
Thanx for that litlle smile i have now. I almost don't smile anymore, since it all began. I am sad... very much, about the people in Lebanon, about Lebanon... my beautiful homeland... and about the situation.
I hope with the help of Allah the war ends soon.
If you ask me, I preffer that Italy wont play next time ;) , in order to make sure nothing happens again..
Be strong,

i read ur post 3 times and i was not understand it, so i will let it go. it seems beside truth i cant understand ur thoughts as well
yuval from tlv
I agree that Isreal is not only one to blame , and to be more exact i do blame arabs ( ur nigbours ) for not being able to take and give effeciantly with ur goverment in political meetings in last 60 years.
as Dr. Phill says : we have to stop " blame game" and start to ask " how our action works for us , does it make us happier , more succesful, more near to our goals " ?
this is a Q each side must ask it. so its even works for ur side. u should stop blaming HA or Hamas or as u call them " Terror gourop" for whatever happens around ur comunity and own ur responsibilites to what is happening right now.
instead come out and say " when can swap u, dust off u , IF WE DECIDE !"
and beleive me in this brakary both side will eat what they cooked
i meant "we " not "when"
i have spoken only of peace until now..
however i do have one question to my lebanese neighbours.. lebanon is now offering a ceasefire and an exchange of hostages within 24 hours.. if it has the power to release hostages and isnt doing so until now.. how can it genuinely disclaim responsibility..
i am mere seeking to understand..

u want lebanies to die quietly ? even without saying OWCH when ur goverment kill them by dozen ?
To Natalie,
"There are loads of Lebanese prisoners Samir Kontar,Yahya Skaff, Nassim Naser& Mohammed Farran to name a few. As for our prisoners in Syria, well we can negotiate with them and get our prisoners back, its an issue between brothers, so we want everyone out of it. But tell me can we do the same with Israel? Hell no."
Actually you named ALL four prisoners that Hezbollah claimes are in Israeli jails.
1. Samir Qantar
This man burst into a man's house in Israel, killed him, killed his daughter with a rivle butt. Another child was smothered by her mother as she was trying to hide and to stop her from crying.
2. Yahyia Skaff
Skaff was apparently captured by the Israelis in March, 1978, after an attack on the Israeli coast with Palestinian guerrillas which cost 35 Israeli lives. Reports said that Skaff was killed in the incident – but prisoners released from Israeli jails insisted they had met him in captivity.
3. Nasim Nisr
Nisr is a Lebanese-born Israeli citizen imprisoned for working for Hizbollah.
4. Mohammad Farran
Mohammad is the forth and final allerged Lebanese prisoner in Israel. All I could find on Mohammad is an enquiry from the Lebanese Fishing Union.
In summary there is actually just ONE Lebanese child murderer in Israel that Hizbollah has started this war over.
Glad you are so concerned for Lebanese tortured, killed and imprisoned in Syria for tens of years often for nothing other than religioun or politics.
Actually you can negotiate with Israel. Jordan and Egypt have peace agreements.
mislebanon
you surprise me.. you sound almost eloquent .. but whats wrong with invading our land and kidnapping our people so that we free your murderers? did you intend to type that question or does your computer have a virus?
the question answers itself very well.. but its almost as ridiculour as "what time is the five oclock news on?" or how about "lebanese nationals sanctioned by a lebanese elected party has been bombing israel for 6 years - cant imagine why israel would be bombing back.. can anyone tell me why?"
come on dude.. sober up..

isnt this getting ridiculous?
whatsmore..
you still havent answered my question.. lebanon is now suggestingit can answer and assure israel's requests for a ceasefire.. given that (the impression i am getting) is that in fact lebanon is sick of (to use your phraseology) getting the "shit kicked out" of her..
however.. if it has this power.. and has these abilities and hence is in control of the actions of its nationals.. how come it could squarely stare our representative in theface during the security council meeting and tell him that lebanon had no control and could not take responsibility.. to me that would be an "untruth" or perhaps a plain lie..
this concerns me..
still believing that there are people wanting peace and wishing for its expedient arrival

How can you blame each other in a time like this, after so many children died in Qana???
How can you Israely write that Hizbollah are the one to blame for this war when IDF kiled so many children.
I just want this war to end!
I pray Allah every day, i ask him to Stop this war... children are to young to die... they are not supoused to die.

Samir Kontar, Israel's longest held Lebanese prisoner who has been incarcerated in Israeli jail for the past 30 years. In fact the Hezbollah operation last year in which 2 Israeli soldiers were kidnapped, which sparked the 34 day long war, was meant to use the 2 soldiers as bargaining chips in order to force Israel to release Samir Kontar.
"THE REAL REASON SAMIR KONTAR IS ISRAEL'S LONGEST HELD LEBANESE PRISONER!!!!
(Samir Kuntar; also spelled: Sameer Kuntar, Kantar, Qantar, Kintar, Quntar, Qintar, Cantar)

Samir Kontar
سمير القنطار
On July 12, 2006 Lebanese Hezbollah militants crossed the border with Israel in an operation dubbed "Operation Truthful Promise," which was aimed at nabbing Israeli soldiers in exchange for Lebanese prisoners. Hezbollah succeeded in the operation and successfully took hostage two Israeli soldiers, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. During the operation, eight Israeli soldiers were killed. This ignited the sequence of events which led to the Israel/Lebanon summer war.
The story goes further back than July of 2006. It really began in April 1979! On Sabbath day, April 22, 1979, Danny and Smadar Haran met up with a monster named Samir Kontar.
Danny and Smadar were a loving Israeli couple. They had everything they could ever hope for... love, marriage and two precious daughters, Einat, 4 and Yael, 2. That day Smadar was home anticipating Danny's return from work and preparing for the Sabbath. She had just picked up their two toddlers from day care. Danny, on the other hand, was looking forward to nothing more than getting home and spending time with his wife and his two young daughters.
Traditionally, the Sabbath is the most special day of the week, the day the family gets to spend time together and celebrate their bond to Judaism. It was especially important for Danny who, as a young father, had to work extra hard in order to provide for his wife and young children. Little did Smadar know that this would be the last Sabbath she would celebrate with her family because of a man named Samir Kontar. Around midnight the nightmare began!
Who is Samir Kontar?
Samir Kontar is one of three Lebanese prisoners still serving time in Israeli jails. Kontar, a Lebanese Druze born on July 20, 1962 in the Lebanese mountain village of Aabey currently holds the dubious distinction of being the longest held Lebanese prisoner in Israeli jails! He was a member of Abu Abbas' notorious PLF (Palestine Liberation Front) which committed despicable acts of terror against Israeli, Jewish, and American targets worldwide throughout the 1970's and 1980's. Kontar was convicted and sentenced to a 534 years prison sentence by the state of Israel. Israel even almost tried to pass a bill to have him executed! What did he do? What was his crime?
The Nasser Operation
The crime he committed was the most horrific crime ever committed on Israeli soil! On April 22, 1979 Samir Kontar along with a gang of three other PLF terrorists (Abed Majeed Asslan, Ahmed Al-Abras, and Mhanna Salim Al- Muyaed) departed from the southern Lebanese seashore city of Tyre on a 55-horsepowered rubber motor boat. Their destination was the Israeli coastal city of Naharyia, about 10 km south of the Lebanese border, the target of their operation was a residential apartment building. This operation was dubbed "Nasser Operation" and its aim was the killing and terrorizing of Israel's Jewish civilians.
The terrorists made landfall in the Israeli coastal city of Naharyia at around midnight, undetected under the cover of darkness. As they made their way along the shore, they were intercepted by an Israeli police officer whom they shot dead. In Naharya the terrorists broke into a building as other Israeli police officers arrived on the scene. The terrorists then broke into Danny and Smadar Haran's apartment, fired their weapons and threw grenades. Smadar managed to find a crawl space into which she, her younger daughter, 2 year old Yael, and a neighbor all hid. To prevent Yael from crying and giving away their hiding place, Smadar covered the child's mouth with her hand.
According to Smadar "They held Danny and Einat while they searched for me and Yael, knowing there were more people in the apartment. I will never forget the joy and the hatred in their voices as they swaggered about hunting for us, firing their guns and throwing grenades. I knew that if Yael cried out, the terrorists would toss a grenade into the crawl space and we would be killed. So I kept my hand over her mouth, hoping she could breathe. As I lay there, I remembered my mother telling me how she had hidden from the Nazis during the Holocaust. 'This is just like what happened to my mother,' I thought."
Sadly, Smadar's attempt to muffle her daughter's whimpering proved fatal. Yael was accidentally suffocated and died within the hiding space.
According to Smadar Haran, her last memories of Danny and Einat, that day, were when they were being led away at gun point by Kontar. She could hear from her closet space Danny telling Einat, "Don't be scared, my baby, it will be alright" and Einat replied to him in her little voice, "Dad, where is Mommy? I want Mommy." Smadar's last memory of her 2-year-old daughter, Yael, was when her little daughter was taken to the apartment hiding space. Right before Yael had her mouth covered by her mother, she asked her mother "Where is my little pacifier." There was no time to search for the pacifier. Minutes later Smadar covered Yael's mouth to keep her from revealing the hiding space. Smadar soon felt her daughter's tiny tongue licks and lip sucking on the palm of her hand. She didn't know what to make of it at first but hours later was told by doctors and paramedics that the reason Yael was licking her palm while she covered her mouth was because she was gasping for air.
After taking Danny and four-year old Einat hostage, Kontar and his group took them down to the beach. Samir Kontar quickly shot Danny in the back and then drowned him in the Mediterranean Sea to ensure his death. While Kontar drowned Danny, he forced terrified Einat to watch and cry. According to eyewitnesses, "Danny was murdered in front of Einat so that his death would be the last sight she would ever see." Little Einat would not have that horrible memory in her head for long. Kontar, the brave Lebanese freedom fighter, crushed Einat's skull over and over upon the rocks with the butt of his rifle until she was dead.
During the ensuing shootout between Kontar's terror group and Israeli police, two policeman were killed along with two of the Arab terrorists. Kontar and the fourth participant, Ahmed Al-Abrass, were captured. Ahmed Al-Abrass was later free by the Israeli authorities in the infamous May 1985 Ahmed Jibril prisoner exchange deal in which 1,150 Arab prisoners (some of whom had blood on their hands) were exchanged for three Israeli soldiers. Kontar was not included in the deal.
The Israeli government determined at first to make a decision to execute Kontar, for his horrific crime, especially for the fact that he tortured and beat to death the 4-year old toddler. Israeli Prime Minister at that time, Menachem Beagin , proposed a draft resolution to the Security and Foreign Affairs Committee in the Israeli Keenest on April 24, 1979. He demanded to eliminate a previous resolution stipulated by the Israeli cabinet, which said no execution should be implemented against terrorists as the international law prohibits it. The Israeli Foreign Minister Izer Weizman and Transportation Minister Hayeem Landau supported Beagin’s draft resolution. Abraham Sharer, who was the head of the Likude parliamentary bloc also, called for Kontar’s execution. Isaac Shamir issued a statement on April 25, 1979 also calling for his execution.
The Israelis tried to implement the execution sentence on Samir Kontar and the whole parliament agreed on them. The only dilemma they were having was the Israeli law that doesn’t allow execution except for the Nazis of the World War II and to those found guilty of betrayal to their country. Furthermore, they did not want the international community on their backs; also, they wanted to improve their relationship with Egypt after the peace process. As a consequence, the Israeli central court in Haifa sentenced Kontar to 5 life sentences plus 47 years to come up with the total of 542 years. During the trial, Kontar was waving victory signs, and called himself a hero.
Samir Kontar has confessed proudly to his murder of the little girl and never once showed one ounce of remorse for his crime. Even while serving his prison term, he has bragged repeatedly during interviews about how proud he was for murdering the 4-year-old Israeli child. While in prison Kontar got married and even receives conjugal visits. Below he stands proudly alongside other convicted Arab murderer, Marwan Barghouti.
Several months later, the PLF seized the Achille Lauro, an Italian cruise ship, and demanded that Israel release Kontar along with a list of 50 other Palestinian prisoners. Ironically out of the 50 Arab Palestinian prisoners that were demanded, Kontar was the ONLY one that was "actually" named on that list. The hijackers killed a wheelchair-bound American Jewish passenger, Leon Klinghoffer, and threw him overboard into the Mediterranean Sea. Kontar was not released, but his supporters would not give up. In 2004 Israel release ALL Lebanese prisoners except for Kontar and two other Lebanese (Nissim Nasser and Yehya Sakaf). In fact Kontar, as well, was almost released by Israel during that infamous Israel Hezbollah Prisoner Exchange of 2004, BUT in the last second Hezbollah violated the agreement and Kontar remained behind bars!
War: July 12, 2006
On July 12, 2006 per orders of Hezbollah leader, Sheik Hasssan Nasrallah, Hezbollah terrorists crossed the northern Israeli border. They attacked two Israeli military vehicles with anti tank missiles, killed four soldiers, kidnapped two others and demanded the immediate unconditional release of Samir Kontar in exchange for the two abducted soldiers. Hezbollah originally named this operation "Operation Freedom for Samir Al-Kontar," but on the days leading up to the July 12 attack it was shortened to "Operation Truthful Promise." The latter referred to the "true promise" Nasrallah had made to the Kontar family that the cross-border kidnapping of IDF soldiers to force the release of Samir Kontar.
In subsequent interviews on Al-Manar TV station Dr Mohamad Jawad Khalifeh, the Lebanese Minster of Health, congratulated Hezbollah for "its great actions" and said that "Lebanon has the right to regain its prisoners and liberate them." Ali Ammar, an Hezbollah member of the Lebanese Parliament, stated his opinion that "particularly at this basic stage in the history of the homeland and the nation, this government should have expressed solidarity with its people and let Samir Quntar feel that he is a Lebanese par excellence." After the kidnapping, Samir Kontar’s brother, Bassam Kontar, said "I kiss the hands and foreheads of the warriors who executed the kidnap. I imagine Samir at the moment, with happiness raising his spirits and those of his friends," he said.
As expected, the Israeli government was not interested in negotiating with terrorists. They sent a small number of troops into southern Lebanon in an attempt to quickly find and free their two soldiers. Soon Hezbollah began shelling Israel's northern communities with Katuysha rockets in an attempt to kill as many innocent men, women and children as possible and to pressure the Israeli government to take the prisoner exchange demand. Israel had no choice but to escalate their response. Both Hezbollah, their supporters and Lebanon's civil infrastructure all suffered the consequences. Even though Israel defeated Hezbollah during this war, it still didn't manage to get its soldiers back.
During the fighting Israel captured a Hezbollah terrorist by the name of Ali Hassan Saliman. According to Saliman, in the interviews/interrogations following his capture, he said that “the main objective of Hezbollah's corss-border kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers was to secure the release of Samir Kontar.” Also, that “Nasrallah had made a promise to the Kontar family that Samir would be released. The Hezbollah operation was first and foremost aimed at releasing Kontar. Everything else was secondary.”
Israel's track record of going against it's previous policy of not releasing Arab prisoners with blood on their hands in exchange for IDF soldiers has come home to roost. Arab terrorist groups have been encouraged to kidnap Israelis in the hope (and often the expectation) that these soldiers will become bargaining chips for the release of Arab prisoners. This softening of Israel's formerly strict policy of never negotiating with terrorists has merely added fuel to the fire. Israeli soldiers are supposed to protect the children of Israel, not to facilitate the release of child murderers, such as the monster, Samir Kontar.
Neither Israelis individually nor their military intentionally targets children or any non-combatant, for that matter. When children die, it is nearly always because they are caught in the crossfire or when they are "set up" by their fellow Arab-terrorists to score propaganda points. But NEVER would manner of the killing be so pre-planned nor would the act itself be so glorified, such as that as Samir Kontar.
Smadar Haran has since remarried and is raising a new family. She hopes that Samir Kontar will stay behind bars until his dying day. "I don't believe that the terrorist will be released now, and I don't believe that the Israeli government will accept this request, after it promised not to release terrorists with blood on their hands."
We at SamirKuntar.net concur with Smadar Haran. We will do whatever we can to see that Samir Kontar rots in Israeli prisons. We would also urge the Israeli government and courts to reverse the long-standing policy of not allowing for the administration of the death sentence. After all, Samir Kontar and other Samir Kontars like him never thought twice about administrating the death sentence to little Einat Haran and other Einat Harans just like her!
CONCLUSION
Kontar was not the reason Israel chose to go to war with Lebanon but he was the reason Hezbollah kidnapped the two soldiers which set the war process in motion.
POSTSCRIPT
Neither Israel nor Hezbollah doubt that Kontar murdered Danny and Einat Haran. The only difference is that Israel sees him as the cold-blooded murderer he is. Hezbollah and their supporters glorify him as a freedom fighter and hero!
There is another point worth mentioning. Hezbollah has never claimed that Kontar was innocent or that he may have been framed. They only demand his release as if he were being held unlawfully and that Israel had no right to imprison him. Once again it's all about Israel never doing any right and Arabs incapable of doing any wrong!
A SAD GRUESOME REALITY
After drowning Danny in the sea in front of little Einat, Kontar, the brave Lebanese freedom fighter, then turned his attention towards the frightened little 4-year old. He took his rifle and then swung it across the little toddler's head, knocking her to the ground. As little Einat was knocked to the ground, she was screaming and crying hysterically "mommy daddy help me," while thrashing her little legs around in the sand. But unfortunately Einat was alone, and no one was there to save her. Kontar then dragged the little toddler a couple of feet to the closest rock he could find, this was while she was begging him not to hurt her. Kontar, then laid her head down on a rock, with the intention of crushing it with the butt of his rifle. Einat, instinctively covered her head with her little arms, Kontar struggled with the little toddler until he finally managed to clear her arms out of the way so that he could aim for the head, and then he proceeded on beating her over and over with the butt of his rifle until blood rushed out of her ears and her little cries faded away as she was knocked into unconsciousness. Then, to ensure she was dead, Kontar continued on beating her over the head, as hard as he could, several more times until her skull was crushed and she was dead.
SHORT NOTE: The way Samir Kontar killed little Einat is reminiscent to the way the Nazis used to kill Jewish babies during the Holocaust, by crushing their little heads with their boots or with the butts of their rifles!

As a proud Lebanese citizen I would like to mention that Hezballah was created BECAUSE of the illegal occupation of Lebanon by Israel. So for those of you who consider Hezballah terrorists...maybe you shouldnt have let Israel illegally occupy Lebanon in the first place...just maybe. Terrorism is bred from oppression and hatred.
I say lets put the IDF and Hezballah in an empty field and let them battle it out one on one, you know like they used to do back in the day.
Release the child prisioners held in Israeli prisions, create humane conditions for the population of Palestine/Palestinians. You cannot achieve peace through force, making a civilian population suffer because of a few radicals is irrational and its not a good enough excuse. Allow the right of return for all 1967 Palestinian refugees or compensate them. After all it is the government/nation of Israel that has the highest UN violations...not Lebanon or Palestine.
You want peace in the Middle East? Recognize the rights of Palestinians, maybe they will recognize your rights too. But as long as you force them under ur hands they will always hate u and there will always be war.
