Significant Human Remains

I have no doubt that Hassan Nasrallah can claim victory over Israel in the 2006 war on Lebanon, but to boast that he is in possession of Israeli soldier body parts (possibly to barter) is repulsive: “I am not talking about insignificant bodily remains. I tell the Israelis we have heads, hands, legs of your soldiers. We also have a nearly intact cadaver from the head down to the pelvis." Nasrallah would have been much better off burying those body parts, perceived as significant or insignificant, affording them the respect even enemy soldiers should be given in death – even if we believe our enemy does not reciprocate that respect. Honorable men of war should not have to advertise possession of hands and heads.
