A Kuwaiti journalist quipped ... that arch-terrorist Samir Kuntar is an ingrate. He came out of 29 years in Israeli prisons in perfect health, weighing 200 pounds with a double chin, and with a university degree that the prison authorities allowed him to complete in correspondence with an Israeli University.In an Arab prison, he'd have emerged as a body bag.
While the graves of Israel’s martyred Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev are still fresh and tears still glisten in our eyes, the Levantine tents of Ishmael rejoice. Many people wrote me and asked, “How could Hashem allow His people to be humiliated so badly? The mourning for our fallen brothers is bad enough, but seeing Kuntar and Nasrulla hug each other while pledging to destroy Israel, Heaven forbid - this is too much!”
Those of us that don’t have televisions in our homes were spared the agony of witnessing Beirut’s jubilation, while arch-villain Nasrulla emerged from his underground rat’s nest to greet the toddler-killing arch-terrorist Samir Kuntar. Meanwhile, Karnit Goldwasser, Ehud’s widow, was shedding tears on her gentle husband’s coffin. One husband from the USA wrote me that his wife screamed in frustration when her television screen displayed the contrasting images.After twenty nine years in an Israeli ultra-high-security prison, Kuntar is now a double-chinned and pot-bellied 46 years of age. One would think that he’d have enough sense to seek the quiet retreat of his family’s mountain estate in the town of Allei and tend to the family goats or play shesh-besh with the old men in their local sidewalk café. He promised (sic) his captors that he’d steer clear of terror activities once released. But Kuntar, displaying his proud Ishmaelite qualities, feels a physical and emotional need to live by the sword.
In a recent string of interviews, Kuntar has frothed at the mouth with threats against Israel. In his first interview with Hezbollah's TV station Al-Manar, Kuntar urged the entire Arab world to continue to fight to throw the Jews into the sea. Referring to the dead former satanic brain of Hizbulla terror operations and Nasralla’s right-hand man Imad Mughniyeh, whose hands were soaked in Jewish blood, Kuntar declared, “With me back in Lebanon, the Jews will long for the age of Mughniyeh,” hinting that his own sinister designs will make his murderous predecessor look like Captain Kangaroo.
Luckily, Kuntar doesn’t know Jewish history. His ignorance will serious shorten the span of his evil life. Throughout the annals of the Jewish people, no tyrant has ever gone peacefully to the grave....In the Gemara’s description of the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem (see tractate Gittin 56b), Titus, the mightiest general in the world, blasphemes the Holy of Holies in the ugliest imaginable way before setting fire to the Temple. It’s impossible to imagine the Jewish national humiliation of such a vile act. Hashem showed how even the greatest of generals can be reduced to nothing by the tiniest of creatures. A mosquito entered Titus’s brain by way of his nostrils, and stung his brain repeatedly for seven whole years. Titus became a madman and suffered a miserable death.
.... Hashem does not forget the blood of tender martyrs, who donned a uniform for one reason only - to defend the Jewish homeland. He certainly won’t forget such beloved sons as Eldad Regev and Udi Goldwasser.
