Moral victory on Israel's side, but for a way too high price. Disgusting barbaric Lebeanese reaction, as usual, though.

Well you need to separate "Lebanon" with "Hizballah" in this instance, they're Hizballah prisoners. It's also worth pointing out that Israel returned the remains of 200 Lebanese and Palestinians...

i completely understand why the people have Lebanon have reacted as they did, its a form of catharsis after so much tears and mourning for all the innocent civilians barbarically butchered by Israels war machine that went haywire over two soldiers and disproportionately bombed Lebanon back to the stone age.

and i feel for the Israelis too, i really do, and i hope both sides realise how fucking stupid this war was but i know that will never happen, both sides will continue to think they have the moral high ground and will continue to murder each other over stupid shit this

I don't believe anything but total anihilation of either side will ever end this conflict. Chilling, I know...

Well, that's the point, though, unfortunately. It IS "Lebanon" I'm talking about since political leaders from all ideological corners are participating in the celebrations. Be it the Prime minister, all religious authorities and even Druze leaders who are at war with Hizballah. Not to mention the Palestinians and their President Abbas who called Kuntar a "brave man" and expressed his joy for his final return.
On a side note Kuntar carried out his "operation" (well actually the cruel massacre of an entire family party with his bear hands) long before Hizballah even came into being. Nasrallah is just cynically exploiting his so-called mrtyr status for his own propaganda.
As for the TWO HUNDRED, we're talking about fighters who died on the battleground against Israeli forces, as it regularly happens when two parties fight. That just cannot be compared with the unmotivated abduction and killing of soldiers patroulling beyond your own borders. But of course nothing's simpler than the good old "both sides are bad" argument. So tempting and yet so wrong, at least concerning this topic.

if the goal is to recover the soldiers 'alive' without giving up palestinians(hezbollah) then no. it was the prospect of never recovering the bodies that brought it to this point. immediately after the capture it appeared (to the israelis) they could recover them through military operations.

Which ended up being a huge failure and didnt solve anything at all.They just made alot of people pissed off and many killed for two captured soldiers.

Then again, Hezbollah shouldn't be going around capturing soldiers in the first place.

I agree.Keep in mind that both sides have been capturing soldiers for on both sides for years.Iam just wondering why Isreal decided to go to war against a whole country over two captured soldiers.Also I really want to know what made the Hezbollah to go and capture those two Isreali soldiers.
