#1 Maybe Israel should offer to trade their remains for 450 jailed Iranian Jews.

#2 Mojtaba Ferdoussi, charge d'affaires at the Iranian Embassy in Lebanon, said all the information Iran had indicated that the missing Iranians were still in Israel.

Because my people carefully threw out anything which would have suggested otherwise before briefing me for this press conference.

Wait, did I say that out loud?

#3 I always thought that the Israelis should trade like-for-like: if what Hezbollah is offering is the remains of two dead Israeli soldiers, the Israelis should offer to return the remains of 500 dead Hezbies. If they don't have enough Hezbie remains, make some.

#4 the Israelis should offer to return the remains of 500 dead Hezbies.

Not 100% sure, but I've read (probably here, as this is my one-stop read) that the israelis supposedly had a bodycount in the 500 range, of KIA hizbullies during that "failed" (it was, in a sense, clearly) war with the nasrallahbots; those were killed by ground troops mostly I think, unless they included the tally of those snuffed in aerial targeted zappings, and the IDF published a list with the ID of 100+ or even more of those.
Can anyone confirm/infirm this? My recollation is not that clear (too much pr0n rots your mind, that's for sure).
