Today, Israel buried 2 of its boys, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, giving closure to the families and the country as whole from the Lebanon War of 2006.
It seems as though, the accusation that one Israeli life is worth the lives of 100 Lebanese lives has been validated by none other than Hizbollah. It's actions over the past week have shown that its values one Jewish body for 100 Lebanese/Palestinian fighters and 5 murderers.
As Shlomo Goldwasser, Ehud's father, summed it up best:
"They sacrificed over 700 of their best warriors and all their economy, and what they get for what they did is a murderer, a bloody murderer of a three-and-a-half-year-old girl and her father - and for this they are making all this glory, for this they sacrificed so much. So I feel only pity for them."Perhaps Hizbollah should rather take a page from Israel's book and embrace life instead of martyrdom. Until then, the media will always portray 1 Israeli life for 100 Lebanese - Hizbollah has set the currency.
