Gad Ezra was the nephew of my friend Moshe Salama, youngest child Soli and Rosemary, sister of Moses.
Pesach of 2002, attacks reached their peak, more than hundred people horribly murdered aue nothing for the month of March 2002, including the attack on the Seder night at the Park Hotel in Netanya.
The government can no longer continue the policy of restraint imposed by the Bush administration. The U.S. president wants to rally the moderate Arab countries said since Sept. 11 to intervene in Afghanistan and Iraq. This comes at the cost of Israeli lives sacrificed to the brutality of Palestinian terrorism. To obtain the cooperation of Arab countries, Bush vetoed an Israeli response. But during Passover this year, the Israeli public scolds. The Israeli leadership It can not mitigate the emergency mobilization for a major operation decided by the Sharon government.
Gad Ezra, 23, had just become engaged. He was discharged just a month ago. There is an urgent call in his reserve unit (milouïm) composed of former Golani for Operation Defensive Shield. The boys are sent to Jenin to clean up this nest of snakes. The number of wounded and killed up quickly. Gad, nursing his team ignored the dangers around him and assist his friends hit short. Then he is suffering from a bullet that would prove fatal. It will be decorated for bravery posthumously.
few months later, at the ceremony where the parents received the decoration for Gad Moshe Salama was angry. He then said: "I'm not going to the ceremony because if I had been in the place of my beautiful brother and sister, I would have thrown in the face of the Chief of Staff (Shaul Mofaz) decoration of Gad and I would have said 'that's what you give me for sending him to be killed? All because the minds that you are with the Department of Defense did not have the courage to give the order to raze the camp of Jenin in the terrorist bombing from the air, for fear that nations do not condemn Israel. And you have preferred that the infantry will make them like rabbits in this mess! "
Moshe's anger was not justified. With Gad, there are 22 other soldiers who were killed during this operation. The precautions taken by the General Staff in fielding infantry have not prevented slander of the Jenin massacre spread.
On this day of Yom HaZikaron, Remembrance Day, our thoughts are with all families who lost relatives during the wars of Israel, and Soli and Rosemary arrived in Israel in 1969 After studying at Montpellier, and Viviane Jacques, sister and brother Gad. Today, Soli and Rosemary live in Bat Yam where they hold a pharmacy. In recounting how
Gad Ezra, the nephew of our friend Moshe Salama fell during Operation Defensive Shield 4 April 2002, I was deeply moved by reading his last letter to his fiancée Galit. I could not not translate.
Meir Ben-Hayoun
Dearest Galit
If this letter reaches you, then something happened.
This morning we were informed that the scheduled surgery will be performed today since yesterday with the help of God.
I told you that the operation has been modified and will not be what it was supposed to be at the very beginning. I did not want to cause you worry my dear.
It was very hard not to tell you the truth, but I decided that rather than causing you concern: "One can change a little truth to peace", even for peace of mind a person you love more than anything on earth.
My sweet beloved, I feel the one hand there is nothing else I want to do except be with you, love you, you found a home with a family, but to Moreover, there is nothing I want more than to participate in this operation and carry a big blow to these bastards, so that they can not even think of perpetuating another attack. And they take into account that every time they commit the slightest horror, they hit them where it hurts most and we are ready to pay the price. I am ready for that price.
Be not angry against me, my beloved. In moments like these, the Israeli general feeling must guide us and make us hit the perfidy as if we had no privacy. "In the army of King David, the fighters gave a bill of divorce to their wives before engaging in combat."
My beautiful, I love you so much and my only regret is that you'll be sorry and that I 'm not with you to make you happy. In fact, there is nothing in this world that you deserve more than happiness. For that sweet, I want you happy that you're happy, that you love and you will blossom because you deserve it. I will always watch over you wherever I am and I will ensure that you meet someone who makes you happy more than me.
My darling, remember, everything is for the best and if that is what has been decided by the Master of the world is as it should be. The only thing left to do is accept it with love.
I love you and I will always love you and know that what I always in mind, it's only you in these moments. I am sure that when this happens to me happens to me you're the last person my thoughts will be spent and I'll go away from this world knowing that I am the happiest that could be and thanks to you .
Think you granted me the joy and that you made me the happiest it can be. You made me get to that ultimate happiness before you I could only dream of.
I love you my dear and thank you for all the good and the happiness you have bestowed on me when we were together.
In fact we were not only together when we met. We are always together since before we came into this world and we are still together even after.
Remember this my dear, our souls come from the same root.
"Everything God does is for the better," even that. Where I am, I assure you that this is the most extraordinary place there. I have no pain and am not in pain. The only thing that can hurt me is the sadness of those who remain, you, family and friends. It diffuses my tender: "There is no despair at having, joy must always take over." That's what I want to ask you, even if it is hard. I
know I can ask you this, because I know the joy and happiness that radiate your natural person. Happiness and joy that I love and me so attracted to you when I met you first.
My dear and loving, I love you and I always will. Just assure me that you continue your path and you will not let you win. It is you who will conquer, that's how it should be and it is just so be it.
Love you forever and I will always be with you
Your Gadi
