Герои нашего времени...
Jul. 31st, 2006 11:21 pmУвидел по израильскому тв Ольмерта, рассказавшего о смерти одного командира по имени Рой Кляйн в Ливане. Он бросился и накрыл своим телом гранату, брошенную в его солдат. Умирая, успел прошепать "Шма Исраэль" и приказал связисту доложить о его смерти.
Отвлечемся от профессиональных речей профессионального политика. Но у меня слезы наворачиваются на глаза от подвига этого человека. Это не в кино, это в жизни...
"I think about Roi Klein, deputy commander of the Golani Brigade 51st battalion. Roi, who was leading his fighters, jumped on the grenade thrown at them, absorbed the force of the explosion on his body and saved the lives of his fighters. He still had the chance to murmur "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" and asked the signal operator to report his death. This is how he died. His small children, Gilad and Yoav, and his wife Sarah, remained orphaned.
I think about Roi, and my soul cannot find peace. I think of Yiftah Schreier, Amihai Merhavia, Tom Farkash, Ran Kochva, Tzvika Luft, Vorkenach Adega, Yotam Gilboa, Yonatan Hadassi and the rest of their brave friends - 33 in number since the beginning of this campaign - and of their families, whose lives will never again return to what they were just a few days ago. I think of the endless pain and never-ending longing, of Gilad and Yoav who will never have a chance to know their heroic father, of Yarden, Yiftach's twin brother, and of Amihai's brothers and sisters, and I pray that we will be worthy of their sacrifice."
