Racism in my words? No, sorry, there is no racism in my words. And I don't generalize. I posted in my blog links to Lebanese blogs, where many people write, that they are disgusted and ashamed by Samir Kuntar and all this celebration. These people are, unfortunately, minority in Lebanese and in the Palestinian society. I don't think it would be racist to say, that sixty five years ago German society was overwhelmed with barbarity. So is about today's Arab societies, many of them, at least. "Their value system sucks" as you put it.
The fact that Germans were barbaric society sixty five years ago doesn't mean, that they are not entitled to be nation or to have their state. Just like the Palestinians. Today they are society with extreme anti-liberal values, cult of death, with criminal ethos and genocidal ideology. But it doesn't mean, that they have no right for their state.
But, in my opinion, not before this barbarity is defeated, crushed and discredited, not before the process similar with de-Nazification, which took place in Germany.
I don't know, how to defeat this barbarity. I think it will take decades.
And I don't think, that we should be ashamed of this deal. I think, we should be proud of it. We didn't know for sure, that the reservists are dead and you cannot say to the families that "your loved ones are almost certainly dead therefore we'll stop looking for them". You cannot say to Karnit Goldwasser that "it's 90% that you're not an aguna".
