Samir Kuntar is the most famous Arab political prison in the Israeli jails, he has a life sentence to serve in Israel that crosses 100 years, already the Lebanese Druze did military operations in which the
Israelis considered terrorist acts “To be honest I read his case from the Israeli and Arab perspective and to be honest I do not know whom I shall believe”. Samir is considered the oldest Lebanese prisoner in the Israeli Prisons and he is on the top of the Hezbollah Lebanese prisoners list to be free in exchange with the Israeli captured two Soldiers “Do you remember them??”.
The Israelis refuse to let him free in the POWs exchange operations except for information about Aron Arad .
Ayman is a liberal politician, who had ambitions to make a change in his country, after a controversial career in Political arena, he decided to have his own liberal party and even to run for Presidency after believing the illusions of free multi party presidential elections, his ambitions ended him to the jail for a forgery crime, which proved by time to be a set up by the government. Nour is a sick man who is suffering from diabetes, his father died while he was in jail.
Samir Killed Israelis including a child according to the Israeli version; planned and implemented several operations against the IDF, still the oldest prisoner had the opportunity to complete his education in Israel and got not only a university degree but a PHD and till now he sends and receives messages including articles to newspapers. Samir has been in the Israeli prisons for 26 years, he was there since he was 16 years old and he seems that he will be there for ever.
Ayman did nothing except he dared and stood against Mubarak in the Presidential elections and for his good fortunate he won some popularity , not a great one still he had a growing popularity , so what was the result ?? 10 years in jail with refusal to release him for health conditions earlier except if he promises to quit politics altogether at least till Gamal Mubarak is secured in his dad’s position, the thing which Ayman Nour and his family totally rejected.
Last week in a respond on G.W Bush’s firing speech in Sharm El-Sheikh World Economic forum where he mentioned indirectly Ayman criticizing the Egyptian regime for his imprisonment, a Court order in Egypt decided to derive from Nour his right to send letters to the newspapers; Nour already got a column in daily El-Dostor, where he comments on every thing that happens in Egypt and in the world from his cell!!
Ayman Nour no longer can communicate with the outside world in his prison at his homeland in Egypt, where as Samir Kantar takes university degrees and communicate with his country people in Lebanon from his jail in Israel.

@the murder of Jewish toddlers, you missed the point of the post here , I am not speaking about the Kuntar and what he had done , I am speaking about Ayman Nour
ReplyDeleteAbout Kuntar with my all respect if you are real human who shed tears for what happened to those toddlers and want to hang Kuntar then Please if you are that human shad tears for the babies not the toddlers who murdered on a daily basis in Gaza by the IDF !!
Ya Zeinobia,
ReplyDeleteYou are INSULTING Ayman Nour by comparing him to a murderer and an assassin like Samir Kuntar... Too bad for Ayman Nour, he certainly deserves better...
@anonymous, I don't insult Ayman Nour , you missed the whole point , the so-called murderer you are speaking about took a PHD when he was in Jail where as Ayman by the orders of the court can't correspond with the outside world
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect, you should take down this post. Comparing a human being to Samir Kuntar is a disgrace to that human being.
ReplyDeleteshe is simply saying that kuntar was/is perceived to be guilty of worse crimes how is it that kuntar has had more 'freedoms' while in israeli prison than nour in egyptian prison.
