Day 80 - Monday 2 August 2010There's been a new addition to the car bumper stickers lately - this one about that features picture of Gilad Shalit and Ron Arad (Israel's longest MIA), with the phrase:
'Gilad Adayin Chai?'
'Is Gilad Still Alive?'
Personally, II don't like this new one. Until now, all the stickers have read 'Gilad Adayin Chai' no question mark; just the blanket statement that 'Gilad is still alive.'
The addition of the question mark and putting it alongside an image of Ron Arad to me is dis-pleasing.
Yes we all still hope and pray for Ron Arad to return, but alas, the situation of Gilad isn't as severe as Ron's more than 20 years in captivity..
I and all of Am Yisrael hope and pray every day that Gilad and all of our MIA's will return home safely and healthy as soon as possible.
