we want peace

in israel we want peace
when rabbin in 1995 made peace agreements with jordan we were full of hope but amir the criminal shot rabin and burried our hopes we still morn for him.
amir was sent to prison for life many in israel called for death sentence. but let us see how a another crimnal murderer was treated in lebanon his name is samir contar he was born and raised in lebanon when he was about 16 he came to israel shot from close range a father and a two years child the mother smadar haran hid with her baby in the kitchen closet the baby was a few months old she covered her mouth to stop her cring in the panic the baby died of sufocation smadar needed years of tearaphy she became a social worker married and had children

contar was cought and trialied
he wasnt excuted
he never regreted his actions

years later he was relised for the dead bodies of the israeli soldigers
goldwaser and regev
he was recieve by thousands in lebanon as a hero

smadar haran said that altough her loss
she support his realse
if the soldgiers and family will find some rest

her life is a statment of love courage and well being
his life is a statment of hate
he is a hero to his people
and that shows the values of those extreaments
that want war at all cost/

today in gaza hamas kiddnap arb children in the streets
and use them us human shields
those who look ciniclly at children lives
are not warriors or leaders
they brougth disaster to all sides
