BBC on the Israeli “Prisoner Trade”

Posted Jul 2, 2008 at 6:18 pm, Mr. S

I couldn’t keep still on this one.

Yesterday Israel agreed to trade 5 imprisoned Lebanese terrorists for the corpses of two Israeli soldiers. The BBC reports on the lamentable deal, stating,

The release of Qantar is particularly controversial … because of his role in the deaths of three Israelis, among them a young girl.

His “role”? That sounds pretty innocuous. They can’t be referring to how Palestine Liberation Organization member Qantar shot the father at close range in the back, nor how he bashed the head of the man’s four-year-old daughter with a rock before crushing the child’s face with the butt of his rifle. I mean, he only played a “role”, right? He had nothing to do with the fact that the mother accidentally smothered her 2-year-old daughter trying to quiet her crying as they hid from Qantar’s inhuman rampage.

Well, at least the long-dead corpses of two Israeli soldiers will be returned to their homeland. I mean, that’s a fair trade, right?
