It is really sad, shocking and shameful when a convicted murderer is decorated as a hero. Shame on Lebanon's leaders, parties, dignitaries, politicians and officials for welcoming Samir Kuntar as a hero – in the process boldly and evilly distancing themselves from the hopes, aspirations, education, and culture of their own people. By doing so they have alienated themselves from the majority of the Lebanese people and negated the deeply Lebanese rooted standards and criteria for what is wrong and what is right, and for what is good and what is evil.
They are stupidly blemishing the actual peaceful image of Lebanon and the historic role of the Lebanese people as lovers and advocates for peace, democracy, coexistence and multicultural principles. In the eyes of the majority of the Lebanese people, Samir Kuntar is a convicted murderer and not a hero.
