(IsraelNN.com) As Israel buries her fallen sons, harsh questions and details are arising from the exchange which took place yesterday. According to Israeli officials, the bodies were received in a severely-damaged state which may have lengthened the confirmation of their identities. Former IDF Medical Corps and Chief Military Rabbinate officials have noted the tragic expertise Israel has gathered in years of conflict, but remained shocked by what they saw yesterday at the Rosh HaNikra border crossing.
Rabbi Yisrael Weiss, former Chief Rabbi of the IDF, who was present during the transfer of the fallen soldiers yesterday, said that "the verification process yesterday was very slow, because, if we thought the enemy was cruel to the living and the dead, we were surprised, when we opened the caskets, to discover just how cruel. And I'll leave it at that."
Former IDF Chief Medical Officer Brig. Gen. (reserve) Dr. Hezi Levi noted this morning that only extensive procedures could verify the exact series of events following the soldier's capture, including whether or not a gunshot wound Regev received to the head was caused by terrorists' "confirming the kill" of the fallen IDF soldier.

These animals celebrate the return of a child murderer and desecrate dead soldier’s bodies. And we are supposed to give these pigs equivalent standing as an Israeli. Pigs. All of them. May they burn in hell and i would be glad to help them get there.
Most distressing.
Round II of Hezzy vs IDF are going to find NO POWS.
Then it’s time to play by similar rules: feed the bodies of homicide bombers to the dogs, or just burn them like trash.
These animals have no respect for anyone else’s religion why are their wishes constantly granted by “civilized society”.
Let me tell you, if a future Homicide bomber knows that all of his bits will be fed to dogs (pigs would be better, but it is Israel), they might want to reconsider.
We (the US and the IDF) repatriate remains and treat prisoners with respect, in return we get torture, murder, bodies mutilated and hidden, and used as bargaining chips.
Even the playing field, demand respect and show the consequences for ANY lack of respect.
Maybe some day they'll take the trouble, form a Constitution and have a government of responsible adults.
Until then Israel remains governed by self serving whores and party hacks with no obligations to their citizenry.
That's why I can't understand sending back known terrorists and murderers of Israelis to their terrorist masters in return for the proof of what happens when Israelis fall into Muslim terrorist hands. And unless a miracle happens, more and more Israelis will be kidnapped and tortured to death so that their mangled bodies can be exchanged for more murderers of Israelis. It's insane....
I have often thought that an IDF JDAM (preferably of the 2000 lb. variety) delivered at the height of the speeches would provide just the right counter (a touch of humility, so to speak) to balance Arab celebratory boasting.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of people.
Personally, I would have deduced what had happened and would have replied in kind.
Hezbollah = Orcs
I hope the Israelis tagged those they released with call home implants, so at least they’ll get an opportunity to revisit those they released.
“Palestinians” [(c) 1964] are savages. We must never forget.
I would have been surprised if the Hezbollah devils had not mutilated the bodies. They have a long history of trying to taunt the Israelis with their ability to disregard all human values while maintaining the tacit (and sometimes active) approval and support of a sizable part of the global media.
For some years, there was a billboard a few feet inside the Lebanese side of the line and facing the Israeli side.
It featured a sequence of photographs of Hezbeasts leading captured Israeli soldiers, then a grinning demon displaying a severed head, with the face fully recognizable, to a cheering mob of other savages.
The caption gloated “We still have your soldiers!!” in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. Israeli authorities forbade the sign’s destruction because it was right next to a UN “observation post,” (which I would call a “human shield station”). The sign was finally destroyed during the 2006 war.
The Israelis have made a very bad bargain, and they will pay for it. They have traded live terrorists for dead soldiers.
This action by the Israeli government is unforgivable.
Pig manure is more valuable and intelligent than the people who celebrate these atrocities.
We could certainly have hoped that under previous Israeli governments, but Olmert is Israel's version of Jimmy Carter; he can't do anything right, and least of all in Israel's best interests.
I don't know, in the Middle East so many games go on behind the scenes and who of us can ever see the real truth?
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
All of that is already here[ In the United States].
Sooner, rather later they will be unleashed upon the citizens of the United States.
The Israeli’s made a terrible dean with they will pay for with their blood.
The same holds true with the United States.
I’ll say it again. The death penalty for these murderers is the only way to deal with this.
This is the same mob of thieves, rapists, and terrorist collaborators that many in our academic and political establishment want to further empower.
This disgusting episode may be a catalyst for real change in Israel. I am not especially hopeful though. Too many in the Israeli electorate are mesmerized by Olmert and the appeasers. I am sad for those who do care about their own survival.
Seems to me that there is no way of making peace with people who are forced to believe that it’s just fine to blow schoolchildren to bits while they are in a schoolbus on the way to school, to lock children in a school and torture them and kill them, and to cut heads off and enjoy watching the videos.

‘discovering how cruel’. . .sad and tortuous; but they should not be surprised at all, by the inhumanity of this enemy.
I’ve always supported Israel, but I have little sympathy for her now.
They fought a half-assed war (hey, who hasn’t?) and now they’ve negotiated a piss-poor (and self-destructive) deal with the enemy.
Five killers for two corpses.
This only guarantees more corpses in the future.
They’re far lower than pigs; they’re subhumans.
These two soldiers were seized two or three years ago, and most likely murdered shortly there after. I would think that decomposition would make it hard to tell if they had been abused before or after death or not.
I do know that when Indian soldiers corpses, returned by the Pakistanis after the Kargil War, were examined, they were often heavily mutilated - eyes gouged out (so as not to look on the face of god), tongues the same, Koranic sayings on the torsos, even the head decapitated.
I agree; I think he would have made the Palestineans crawl under their beds and whimper about how the boogy man was coming to get them...
There were only thinking about the family’s of the two dead. Knowing you have buried your family member is all that mattered.
Israel is a caring nation and sadly they care about their own dead too much.
The Israelis are responsible for the shitty government they put in place...they deserve every thing they get, everything...
Unfortunately, i cant type what id like happen to olmert because i would get agents at my door....
The whole Israeli Political system is corrupt like diarrhea...
The speech of Ismail Hniya:
The greetings of Ismail Haniya, the president of Gaza strip, to the mother of Samir Quntar, the killer of a three year old child:
You are blessed by seeing your hero son. God will bless him for being released from the Jews, sons of monkeys and pigs, after he smashed the head of a Jewish baby, a daughter of unbelievers and monkeys. You have blessed for raising a good son to the Islam, a killer that his hands are full of the blood of the unbeliever Jews. I bless you and the mothers of more martyrs, which have blessed to see thir son become a killer of Jews, which is our highest virtue, and our object on earth killing Jews whenever they are. Every where. Bismillah”
What a ghoul. They deserve obliteration. No one will miss them
Bump!
Cultural sociopathy. Dementia.
Do you have a source for that quote?
No. A little birdie emailed it to me.
If I had a source it would be its own thread.
Palistinian, you have our soldiers. We know they are dead through vicious means. We want their bodies, but since they are two dead, we will trade you two dead terrorists. In fact, do you see those gallows over there. Every day you delay, there will be one terrorist hung for you to see. If you wish, we will hang them all. It is up to you.
These negotiations are finished. Shalom!
A culture that has embraced Satan.
Hey, you’ve got an ant stuck crawling around on your home page:)
Those were the days when the British Empire produced men that were up to the task.
What a Soldier and a Man!
These people are from the Pit of Hell.
Dear FR,
haven posted in a while. Hope all is well.
this whole episode and then ongoings of the past few years has truly made me ill.
How many barbarities has it been since we all said ‘next time’ ‘next time’.
I call BS. Israel is ruled by a fifth column hell bent on suicide. Only the supreme commander can help.
Amen to that (and THAT may be The Plan).
Olmert is the Jimmy Carter of Israel.
May the Hand of the Almighty execute Divine Justice on the murderers of the soliders and may the souls of the soliders dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven forever.
