In the last 24 hours, much has been written about the shameful scenes of celebration which greeted child murderer and terrorist Samir Kuntar upon his return to Lebanon. Among the most insightful: the dignity of Israel’s position as explained by Simply Jews (”One thing, however, should not be forgotten - it is not about politics, not about national pride and even not about the grieving families. It is about the soldiers.”); Norman Geras’s invitation “…to resist the complaisant marking of a moral victory for Hizbollah; to give back its meaning to that word by giving its due to a country that would honour its dead, rather than to those whose joy is for the murderer of a defenceless child”; and Neil D and David T solemnly reminding all of us that we should take the time to remember little Einat Haran (ז״ל) , the four year old who, after seeing her father shot dead in cold blood, was herself murdered by the monster Kuntar as he slammed a rife butt against her skull. Her younger sister Yael died too, accidentally smothered to death by her mother as they hid from the terrorists.
