What do they want?
In exchange for two Israeli soldiers Hezbollah demands the release of Samir Kuntar.
Who is Samir Kuntar?
In 1979, Samir Kuntar led a raid that targeted civilians in Nahariya. His group entered the apartment of a young couple, Danny and Smadar Haran. They took Danny and his 4-year-old daughter, Einat, hostage and retreated to the beach. Trapped there, first, according to witnesses, they killed Danny. The murder of her father would be the last scene Einat would see. For then the raiders killed the little girl — by bashing her head against a rock. Back at their apartment, Danny's wife, Smadar, had escaped execution by hiding in the crawlspace above a bedroom with their other daughter, two-year-old Yael. Afraid the child would reveal their hiding place, she had covered Yael's mouth with her hand. When she took her hand away, the mother realized she had smothered her child to death.

...yet another perfect ambassador for the religion of piss (or was it pus?).
Fry him in bacon fat and serve him up to Hezbollah prisoners for lunch, a la the Hannibal Lecter diet.
No loss to the (civilized) world.

For the life of me I can't under why anyone has one nano-second of sympathy for these people.

OMG. That is probably the most devastating thing I have ever read. I am in tears.
If these...people...want to live in the 7th century, I say, bring back the 7th century! You know, the good, old-fashioned punishments like they used to have...how about drawing and quartering? Disemboweling? Something slow, definitely. Shooting him would be too quick AND a waste of a good bullet.
