Their personal account was as follows: <BR/><BR/>"Me and my friend were at the beach at Naharya that day, just relaxing, it was dark and we could hear police sirens all around. We then heard a gun shot, so we rushed over to see what happened. We coincidentally had a pair of binoculars that day, what we saw a man (Samir Kuntar)struggling and drowning another man(that man was Danny Haran) in the sea, while a little girl was standing a couple of feet away and crying. We were planning how we could try to sneak up and approach to save them, because after all we would have to use alot of caution because we saw the terrorist carrying a rifle. Moments later, the terrorist (Kuntar) 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 we watched as little Einat was knocked to the ground, we could hear her screaming and crying hysterically "mommy daddy help me," while thrashing her little legs around in the sand. The terrorist (Kuntar) then dragged the little toddler a couple of feet to the closest rock he could find, this was while she was crying and screaming. Kuntar, then laid her head down on a rock, with the intention of crushing it with the butt of his rifle. We could see the little toddler instinctively covering her head with her little arms, Kuntar struggled with her 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 and we could hear her little cries faded away as she was knocked into unconsciousness. Then, he beat her several more times for a couple of minutes more until police came. But it was too late because she was already dead."<BR/><BR/>According to medical examiners; "the little 4 year old put up a mighty struggle, she did receive several blows to her head until she died. Before Einat became unconcious blood rushed out of her ears. And to ensure she was dead, Kuntar continued on beating her over the head, as hard as he could, several more times until her skull was crushed and she was dead."JohnJacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00831167695483478662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968421.post-1152906327197288042006-07-14T14:45:00.000-05:002006-07-14T14:45:00.000-05:00Sorry to say it, but Lebanon, Syria and most impor...Sorry to say it, but Lebanon, Syria and most importantly Iran brought this on themselves. The Arab countries do not want Israel to exist so we must destroy you. What do you expect? I am just profoundly sorry Israel is holding back. They are simply too respectful of life in this situation. If I was "kimg" Beruit would be given 24 hours to evacuate ann then turned to dust. Then ask the enemy if they wish to surrender and no longer attack Israel. If they say no, then destroy Damasucs, and so on.

The voices I hear in Israel "If the children of Nahariya won't sleep, so will the children of Beirut" are barbaric and inhumane.<BR/><BR/>I do think Israel has the right to defend itself. But killing the innocent is not the way. Sadly, I don't see this ending soon. I fear it will take the life of many more people on both sides.

It appears to me that in "defending yourself" you come to resemble more and more your enemies.<BR/><BR/>For that you win... a washing machine! Keep your clothes spotlessly clean of the innocent blood you drown yourselves into each time you justify terrorist attacks against civilians and civilian infrastrucutre (both against the Geneva convention by the way).

And your reaction in general is nothing more than a usual arab whining and pointless rhetoric. Lebanon is your country and yet you let Hizbullah to control a great parts of it and run their own agenda that doesn't serve any of the Lebanese goals? Its your country so how can you are allowing this to happen? Why don't you stand united and fight against Hizbullah and your corrupt and opportunistic government officials? You need badly to purge your country of these foreign power proxies and terrorists yet the only thing you do is to write some pointless Internet diaries. Organise yourself, take on arms and contact some Western intelligence agencies, i am sure NATO for example would be only happy to assist your in your fight against Hizbullah. But as long as the primary thing you care is your personal and your extended family's safety and convience and put these concerns way above the concerns for a truly democratic Lebanese society that doesn't tolerate the likes of Hizbullah you'll never end the spiral of mindless violence. If you die of Israeli bomb you become another count in statistic nobody in the world gives a shit about, but if die fighting Hizbullah you have a chance of becoming a hero or at least guaranteeing your children a better future. <BR/>So really i could not hold a sympathy for your civilian Lebanese because you are totally earned what has come to you by your inaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10968421.post-1152870779666357442006-07-14T04:52:00.000-05:002006-07-14T04:52:00.000-05:00Just to put things in perspective: who is Samir Ku...Just to put things in perspective: who is Samir Kuntar<BR/><BR/>http://www.geocities.com/myjoy18/abbas.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
