All the agendas that Labour & Left have pushed for years(including the author of this letter)lead to destruction of Jewish communities, strengthening of our enemies, Lebanon war.This letter is unbefitting to all these other “fanatics & non-humanistic” soldiers(the lowly mitnachalim,<BR/>mizrachim,datim-just Jews and not Israelis)who died out of love for the Land of Israel, the Jewish people and His Word-not because you are Israelis but because you are Jews-and this is something none of us can escape by branding ourselves Israelis,British,<BR/>American or even Greek...Next time just find an average, middle of the road Israeli mother and father to talk to you about their child’s loss without glorification and without false words pushing yet an other pathetic agenda.As always you should never expect anything else from a ger-tzedek and especially a Greek one...<BR/>PS I really enjoy reading your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15743286.post-1160356272428429322006-10-09T03:11:00.000+02:002006-10-09T03:11:00.000+02:00Dear Anonymousa.

I don't think that the phrase 'fighting in the ring' needs to be taken literally and I’m sorry you feel it can only be used when referring to those who gave of their time to serve in the IDF. <BR/><BR/>c Whether its soldiers on the front line, doctors in a hospital or people ignoring a beggar in downtown Jerusalem, there are things that ALL of us can become numb to that perhaps we shouldn’t.Calevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845000281247083994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15743286.post-1160346255073512382006-10-09T00:24:00.000+02:002006-10-09T00:24:00.000+02:00I take issue with you saying that you're fighting ...I take issue with you saying that you're fighting in the ring instead of watching from the outside. I also take issue with some of your posts, such as "Letter to a Soldier," wherein you opine on the moral aspects of warfare. <BR/><BR/>It's clear from your history of posts that you did not serve, nor do you intend to serve in the IDF. As long as you're under age 30, the IDF will take you as a volunteer. Until you're the one on the front lines, please do not include in your posts anything that indicates you're a "fighter." Also, refrain from waxing poetic about war and its effects on soldiers. Cliches such as "we all become numb" sound funny coming from someone who has no frame of reference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15743286.post-1159819260177579942006-10-02T22:01:00.000+02:002006-10-02T22:01:00.000+02:00Shana Tova!Shana Tova!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15743286.post-1159184539783999502006-09-25T14:42:00.000+03:002006-09-25T14:42:00.000+03:00Shana Tova Calev- I look forward to the next year ...Shana Tova Calev- I look forward to the next year of picking one anothers brain!The Ginrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168944510321681459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15743286.post-1159157454839951282006-09-25T07:10:00.000+03:002006-09-25T07:10:00.000+03:00Shanna Tova good sir ... quite an inspiring articl...Shanna Tova good sir ... quite an inspiring article from Grossman - may this year be one of happiness health and peace for all of us.Avramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296573781960136899noreply@blogger.com
