    The military said Tharwat Sharawi, 73, sped toward a group of soldiers at a Hebron gas station before they shot at her car, killing her in early November. It said Maram Hassouna, 19, tried to stab a soldier on Dec. 1 near an eastern West Bank checkpoint. Soldiers shot and killed her.

    The two were buried in modest funerals.

    Issa Qaraqe, Palestinian minister of prisoner affairs, said Israel has not returned the bodies of 52 others. Israel’s Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan has said Israel holds the bodies of suspected attackers to prevent large funerals from erupting into “an exhibition of support for terror and incitement to murder.”

    The return come as the region is embroiled in three months of near-daily Palestinian attacks that have killed 19 Israelis and an American Jewish student. At least 116 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, of which 79 were attackers. The rest were killed in clashes with Israeli forces.

    all while HAMAS holds the bodies of Shaul and Goldin, I guess the Israeli government doesnt believe in the mantra of leave no soldier behind and yet people VOLUNTEER for this army?

    I’m terribly upset to see there’s no outcry over this in the Israeli media. Nobody seems to take notice of this outrageous injustice. Even here on VIN, there are only 2 posts (as of now) above mine!
    Is there nobody in the Israeli government who feels a drop of sympathy for the Shaul and Goldin families?
    Disgraceful and unforgivable.
    What kind of people are we when we allow a government to represent us that rewards murderers and is cruel to those who give their lives to defend us?

    Totally stooooopid.

    To give back their bodies so that the family, relatives and friends can make for them a martyrs parade to inspire others is ridiculous. Better to dumb their dead carcasses into the sea to join Osama bin Laden.

    The Americans were smart when they deposed of Osama in that matter knowing that if there was to be a burial, there would be a martyr’s parade and inspiration to others.
