In a deal engineered by a German, the remains of two Israeli hostages were exchanged for a convicted murderer with his own Wikipedia entry along with some Hizbullah remains. There is grief in Israel while Kuntar receives a hero's welcome for killing a policeman, a 31 year old man, and his four year old son. Until yesterday, most Israelis believed that the two captive IDF soldiers were alive.
Most Israelis are too appalled to speak. There is only dismay. Once again, coffins return while murders go free.
Is there a remedy in Gilead?

When I read this, I was saddened for the families of those soldiers. To have kept hope alive for so long and now to have it cruelly dashed must be horrible.
Israel's exchange of human scum for their war dead brings to mind the parable of the pearl of great price, for some reason.
Captured terrorists must be executed after trial. Keeping them in prison practically guarantees this sort of thing.
