he was indeed a hero of israel == augustine e johnson, usa

Uri Grossman died defending his country. He came from a family that believed and lived the dream of dialogue with our neighbors, efforts at peacemaking eavors. How do they compare??

In Sabra & Shatila some Lebanese Christian slaughterers had their hands in Palestinian blood, nobody else. Here we remember & owner an Israeli hero, Christian "cristine" should get "her" balance right.

A real heart-breaker, my most sincere condolences go out to his family and friends. Almost as tragic as his fate itself, is the fact that his death would have been prevented had there been competent leadership during the war. Grossman's unit were positioned there like sitting ducks, waiting for orders that did not come. Consequently, they were put in an unnecessarily vulnerable situation. I pray that we all learn from this, and do our duty as citizens of a democratic state to stand up against corrupt, opportunistic politicians, and demand dedicated, transparent leaders. I encourage everyone to vote for the collective good of the State of Israel, and not for interest groups.

What courage to stand up from mourning and ask that no other parent or family irrespective of religion or state be made to suffer such a loss. Surely there is no greater monument or tribute to a fallen soldier than the laying down of arms and the embracing of the joy of peace and mutual respect and tolerance. What a dream. Would that we all dreamt it in our churches and synagogues and mosques and in our hearts.

What a heart-rending way to begin the New Year, and absolutely right too. I salute the fortitude of two parents to share their grief at the loss of their son with us and I especially salute Michal Grossman. She is so right in all she said. Wouldn't it be good if her message reached our leaders and they worked towards the horizon she was trying to describe?

What a wonderful woman. I had to cry when I listened to her. She and her husband had been against the war and they had to give their son. I cannot even start to imagine how much pain they must feel over that loss. That they get up again and fight for peace is something I admire with all my heart. I wish the family all the best, may they succeed. If there was anything I could do, I would gladly contribute to their fight for peace.

Rest in Peace.
