In August 2006 Jesse Jackson went to Lebanon, had meetings with the terrorist group Hizballah, then stopped over in Israel to tell the families of those two IDF soldiers whose mutilated bodies were returned to Israel last week that their loved ones were still alive.

This goes to show which side is civilised, but was it a smart thing for Israel to do, to agree to this exchange? In the future does it mean that all Israels enemies have to do, to guarantee the release of their people, is to kidnap and kill Israelis.

This morning at 9.40 Israel time, 24 months and five days after Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were abducted by Hezbollah in a cross-border raid that precipitated the Second Lebanon War, the bodies of the two reserve soldiers were returned to Israel.

Hezbollah officials arrived shortly after 9 a.m. at the Naqoura border crossing, which borders the Israeli town of Rosh Hanikra. Ignoring reporters’ questions about the state of the two captives, they waited until they were surrounded by photographers and cameramen before dramatically unloading and displaying two black wooden coffins.

Hezbollah security official Wafik Safa then said, “We are handing over the two Israeli soldiers that were captured by the resistance … and whose fate has been unknown until this moment. Now you know their fate.”

Hezbollah, the cold heartless bastards, had refused to give any official word on the fate of the soldiers.

Thus, at 9.39 a.m., the Goldwasser and Regev families could still hope that their loved ones would emerge alive from the back of the Hezbollah truck. But by 9.40, that hope was extinguished.

Eldad Regev’s father, Zvi, told Israeli Army Radio, “It was a terrible thing to see, really terrible. I was always optimistic, and I hoped all the time that I would meet Eldad and hug him.” A commentator on Israel’s Channel 10 news contemptuously referred to the Shi’ite militia’s insistence on playing games until the last possible second as an “act of necrophilia.”

As the image of the coffins was broadcast on Israeli television, a muted wail of grief was heard from the friends and relatives gathered outside the Regev home in Kiryat Motzkin. Eldad Regev’s aunt, Hannah, collapsed and was attended to by paramedics.

In exchange for the bodies of the abducted soldiers, Israel agreed to transfer the bodies of 185 Palestinians and Lebanese militants who had been killed by the IDF while attempting to infiltrate Israel, to release four Hezbollah militants who had been captured during the Second Lebanon War, and to release Israel’s most notorious political prisoner - the Lebanese Druze, Samir Kuntar.

Here is a description of one of the murders committed by Samir Kuntar.

He took his rifle and then swung it across the toddler’s head, knocking her to the ground. Kuntar then dragged the toddler a couple of feet to the closest rock he could find and laid her head down on a rock, with the intention of crushing it with the butt of his rifle. Einat, instinctively covered her head with her arms, Kuntar struggled with the toddler until he finally managed to clear her arms out of the way. Once her arms were out of the way, Kuntar repeatedly beat her on the head with the butt of his rifle and stomping on her body, until blood rushed out of her ears and mouth. Then, to ensure she was dead, Kuntar continued beating her over the head until her skull was crushed and she was dead

The Lebanese prisoners arrived home to a heroes welcome! Sick bastards!

It’s no wonder parents are terrified that their child will become the victim of a pedophile. Everywhere you turn there are horrifying stories of pedophilia and every parent knows that most pedophiles will abuse numerous children before they are caught and then if they are caught and convicted the sentences handed out are often pathetic. The innocent victims lives however, have been changed forever.
The introduction of ‘Megans law’ would help parents keep their children safe by allowing them to make informed decisions.

How to solve a problem in 2008.
Problem- kids fighting in the playground.
Solution- reduce playtime

PRIMARY schools have cut back lunch breaks to reduce fighting and bullying in the schoolyard.
A survey by The Advertiser of more than 50 public primary schools in South Australia has revealed playtime has been reduced to as low as 15 minutes in some schools to combat bad behaviour and, in some cases, violence.

Instead of 40 minutes to an hour of playtime, many students are now given a 10-minute “sit-down” lunch and only 30 minutes of play.

Wouldn’t the commonsense approach be to deal with the bad behaviour? Instead all children are punished.

One school spokesman, who wished to remain anonymous, said they cut playtime from 40 minutes to 30 this year to address behavioural and sun safety issues.

“Since, we have noticed a reduction in the behaviour,” he said.

A spokeswoman for a western suburbs school, which did not want to be identified, said shortened lunch breaks had reduced “inappropriate student behaviour”.
“When the lunch break went for 40 minutes, it seemed it was long enough for students to get themselves into trouble,” she said. “Sometimes it was little fights or just general mischievous behaviour.”

South Australian Primary Principals Association president Steve Portlock said there had been a reduction in play time over the past five years at some schools.
“Half hour is long enough for kids’ attention span as when kids make up there own games they can start to fight,” he said.

“The two main reasons for reducing playtime is about the problems that arise from students’ games because they change the rules and there are no umpires as well as the effects of the sun.”

But is playtime just playtime? Aren’t kids learning valuable lessons from playtime? Lessons that will help them in adult life.

Numerous studies have shown that unstructured play has many benefits. It can help children become creative, discover their own passions, develop problem-solving skills, relate to others and adjust to school settings, the academy report says.
“Perhaps above all, play is a simple joy that is a cherished part of childhood,” says the report, prepared by two academy committees for release Monday at the group’s annual meeting in Atlanta.
A lack of spontaneous playtime can create stress for children and parents alike. If it occurs because young children are plopped in front of get-smart videos or older children lose school recess time, it can increase risks for obesity. It may even contribute to depression for many children, the report says.
