The kidnapped soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser came home in a coffin. not that it wasn’t expected or something, but the real question is when did the state of Israel stopped telling the truth. I mean, Yossi Gurvitz raised a few questions in his post showing that there were preliminary signs that the government knew that we were dealing with bodies. One may conclude, at least fromThis morning’s Ynet article that at 06:43 they knew that we are trading bodies, otherwise the logic that “In 09:00 Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser will arrive to Rosh Hanikra, shortly afterwards the identification process will take place and may take several hours” doesn’t really apply here. Yesterday, when our beloved president, Shimon Peres signed Samir Kuntar‘s release, we were told that this is probational: “His signature will come into effect after positive identification of the Israeli soldiers, Regev and Goldwasser”, Keshet’s site told us. NRG-Maariv reported yesterday at 20:30 that the Rabinite began the identification process.

The only question that Israeli citizens should ask themselves is whether they can trust their spouse that lied to them till now? How long can a nation accept that these lies were to raise the national moral or to approve a deal that was meant to save Olmert’s reign in the best case, and give Hizbullah, negligently, excess power. There were no security needs, and if the Israeli government knew it traded bodies with prisoners, it should have said so, not state that “the military rabbis will decide ” but state it, “Goldwasser and Regev are dead”.

So when did you lose faith in your government?
