St.-Sgt. Rujayah Salameh, 23
gamla.org.il
===> Salameh's grandfather told reporters that he had opposed his grandson's joining the army. "Two years ago he chose to join the army, [but] I did not want him to. But when I saw how determined he was I wished him to return safely like all the other boys who join the army, especially the volunteers," he said.<===
Another Jewish hero, dying during the course of duty? Rujayah volunteered for duty. He must have felt strongly about the survival of Israel. But what makes him different from thousands of other young boys?
===> "Fellow soldier Georgie Salim said he and Salameh were among only six Christian Arabs in the southern Beduin unit." <===
My mistake, not a Jewish hero. An Arab-Israeli hero, who volunteered, and gave his life to protect Israel. Perhaps Amir Zohar was right. Perhaps Jews and Arabs CAN live together in peace.
Of course, peace between the Jews and Arabs would spoil Thomas's fanaticism for ranting and raving and spreading hatred.
Sad, isn't it? |
