Yoni's Promise

I have been asked to repost this.

I remember watching the last Israeli troops leaving southern Lebanon in the middle of the night and I felt shame, that we were leaving like thieves in the night. We left, do to Israeli public pressure that came from a group called the Four Mothers, along with the usual left wing self hating Jews of Peace Now and Theirs a Limit.

How has Israel been paid back for leaving Lebanon, with rockets, dead Jews and two of our soldiers being held in Lebanon.

Now let's face the truth that our retreating from Lebanon is. First it has allowed the rocketing of Israeli civilians. The job of the IDF is to protect the civilians and that at times can mean that our sons will fall in combat.

I feel the pain of the parents that lost sons in southern Lebanon over the 18 years that we were there. I have seen it first hand, when a member of our family was killed on the last week of his military service. His father become old, over night.

Israeli troops in Lebanon are finding that Hizbullah has been very busy during the six years that we were not in Lebanon. Our forces on the ground have been finding an interconnecting network of bunkers and tunnels. If Israel wants to really solve the Hizbullah problem we are going to have to go into Lebanon and given the history of the UN forces in Lebanon, we will have to stay there.

To all the mothers that started or joined the Four Mothers group, Peace Now and Theirs a Limit, you should be ashamed of what you are forcing your country to go through. Every rocket that now falls on Israel has been fired with your assistance. Due to your actions the fighting on the ground in Lebanon will be long and bloody.

We will fill many more graves with our sons due to your ideas and the reaction to you by Ehud Barak the Prime Minister that ordered the retreat from Lebanon.

I am moving from a person that only put his own rear end on the line to joining that noble group of parents that have given our sons to the IDF. I pray to G-D even from now that HE will keep my little baby safe. But my little baby is a 6'3" 230 pound Israeli paratrooper who is now graduating from Israel's West Point.

My son who is no longer a baby, asked me to promise the following, if G-D forbid he should be taken hostage he ask me to promise not to beg for his return. Don't grovel to this scum he said, just pray for me and then get revenge.

I now pray for the parents that will grieve in the coming days and weeks for their sons that have been taken too early from them. The joys of life being stolen from both the dead and their parents, no future weddings, no grandchildren to hug.

Zamir my son, you have my promise.

All this pain brought to Israel by left wing idiots.
