It`s worth quoting from the letter written to the cabinet by Smadar Haran, Danny`s widow. Sadly the only person with integrity in this case is ignored.
"The despicable, vile murderer Samir Kuntar isn’t, nor has he ever been, my private prisoner. Kuntar is a prisoner of the State, which sentenced him to five terms if life imprisonment for his vicious crimes"
"His fate must be decided now, according to Israel`s best defensive needs and moral interests, which should serve the people of Israel, now and in the future.
"I ask that my own personal pain not be taken into account when you deliberate, despite its significance and implications. I cannot overlook the pain and suffering of the Goldwasser and Regev families, or the moral debt I have to all those who have worked for my safety.
"I have given this matter a great deal of thought, and as hard as it may be, I will not oppose any decision made (by the government). No matter how hard it may be, my mind is at peace" |
