Day 50 - Shabbat 3 July 2010The Hebrew reads:
'Yeled Lo Rotzeh Lishmor Al HaOlam'
'A child doesn't want to protect the world'
This is definitely a political statement against the Israeli Army and conscription - that teenagers and young adults from 18 and up don't want to be protecting the country and the world.
Again this is one persons opinion - and I'm sure is shared by a certain proportion of Israeli's - but I do like to view it as well on the opposite side of the spectrum; in the view of those that see the defense of the State of Israel as our responsibility. There are definitely certain proportions who see this as a natural right and serve with pride..
Just to keep thinking.. and smiling =)
