A hero or a notorious murderer

It is something expected to find all that attack against the Lebanese people and Hezbollah after the release and huge hero reception of Samir Kuntar.
Samir Kuntar was portrayed as notorious murdered who smashed the head of 4 years old girl from 30 years ago after murder of her father.
For 30 Years we have all heard the Israeli version of the story.
Samir denied that he smashed the little girl head and said that she was killed in a cross fire ,still no one believed him for one second. May be because his facial features look strong and evil , may be because he was a member in the PLO in the 1970s ,when the group was considered a terrorist one group, may be because it is the Hezbollah that supports him or may be because he is a leftist or may be because he is an Arab simply as that.
And now the Lebanese people and officials starting from the President to the Youngest kid holding a flag or banner welcoming the return of Al Kuntar are accused to being barbaric cold blooded people.
The Lebanese are not cold blood people for sure.
I will not deny that the character of Kuntar Puzzles me ,part of me says that if he could be a cold blood murderer who should have executed , but when I read for and hear him I do not see a cold blooded murderer , I see a person who is ease with himself ; who did not regret on what he had done in Naharia because he did not kill the girl according to his statement. Till now Al-Kuntar is insisting on his version of the story that the young girl was killed in the cross fire.
If Al-Kuntar really killed this girl then psychologically he is not that different from Ariel Sharon and the long list of the IDF officers and generals that killed and are killing the Palestinians Children. If he really killed her than do not blame the Lebanese people for their reception their neighbors the Israelis are doing the same exactly but the different Al-Kuntar was a member of an official army !!??
I got many stories from 1956 and 1967 about the so called heroes of the IDF that do not have morals at all who killed civilians and POWs , these heroes are considered freedom fighters in Israel , so why you are so surprised !!??
I know some will say that this is stupid logic ,I know it is logic but we are living in a big stupid world , this is no morals world with my all due respect.
We will always be accused of terrorism even if we open our mouths to breathe .
I am waiting to hear Kuntar speaking about the matter ,hopefully he will speak very soon to Al Jazeera.

    And this is why Palestinians stand no chance - time after time they squander the possibility of turning the public opinion in their favour. They cannot win otherwise than by convincing the public opinion of the world of the just nature of their cause - because in democracies public opinion can force changes of policy.

    The world will remember people such as Gandhi and Walesa, leaders of peaceful movements of non-violent opposition to an oppressive government. These two men will remain true heroes - while Kuntar will be remembered, if at all, as yet another murderer in a senseless conflict where both sides are guilty of heinous crimes.

  2. what adds to my surprise is the Arab who not only blindly believe the Israeli version of the story, but they also have no idea that there's another version of the story !!

    Regarding IDF "heros", notice that call themselves Israeli "Defense" forces, so they are there to "defend" Israel. As if they're not the oppressors.

  3. I have to say I am in complete agreement with qwerty. I do appreciate your logic but I don't see why we should have to descend to their level. I am looking at this from a Islamic perspective and do not find anything that could possibly justify his actions. I also read both Arabic and English accounts and I can find not reliable evidence that what has been circulating about him is slander..
    But anyway Allahu A3lam

  4. @qwetry , do you think that the Palestinians have other choice , do not mix between the papers here
    Gandhi and his people did not have to leave his country and his land using force and conspiracy , using murder and war.
    Look I respect Gandhi and I believed in what you are believing in but after all what is happening in this crazy world
    believe me that it does not matter what you say , you are always in their eyes an Arab terrorist

    @Abed.Hamdan,this is what I am trying to say

    @Arabista , from the Islamic perspective you must hear his defense and if Allahu A3lam and surely the Lord knows best why you are considering him as guilty
    it is not matter of descend and ascend believe me ,these noble acts do not work in world of thugs
    my dear it is not who ascends and

  5. @Zeinobia - 50 years of civil war, occupation, and terrible crimes on both sides of the conflict has not brought either the Palestinians or the Israelis even a tiny step closer to victory. Quite the opposite - this is the third or fourth generation that is growing up convinced that violence and hatred are the normal way of life for them.

    By now it has become patently obvious that this path leads only to more suffering, more bloodshed, and ultimately total destruction of both sides of the conflict. If Hamas or any Arabic country starts winning in this conflict - do you think the Israeli will hesitate to use their nuclear weapons? If the Israeli appear to be winning - do you think Palestinian extremists stop at anything to prevent this?

    I know I cannot even start imagining what it is to be a heir to this conflict. But violence clearly is not a solution, and it cannot lead to a victory.

    Imagine Palestinians denouncing violence, staging mass marches across the border, peacefully blocking army vehicles - this would deprive Israel of support as the victim of Palestinian terrorists. And if the Israeli answered that with brute force, support for Israel would dry up very quickly, especially in the US, especially in the election year. Much could be achieved this way. But first the Palestinians would have to abandon the dual victim/terrorist role. I know it would be very hard, but it has worked before, elsewhere.

  6. @Qwerty , again this is in a perfect world , this is not violence , it is a fight , a war between organized official army and militias fighting for their basic rights
    The Palestinians for God do not play the role of victims in fact I think they abandoned it since they chose the resistance choice

  7. @Qwerty; Look what happened to Rachel Corrie when she tried peacefully to protest the destruction of a Plestinian home by IDF. She was deliberately run over by a bulldozer. She was not even Arab or Palestinian. One thinks that the death of this young American will at least change the Israeli policy about the destruction of Plestinian homes but no, Israel continues the demolition of Palestinian and Arab homes and the confiscation of their land to build jewish settlements.
