Ehud Goldwasser's Father shows the kind of bravery that will defeat terrorism

Shlomo Godwasser and Ehud's recently married wife Karnit

Shlomo Goldwasser the father of Ehud Goldwasser who was kidnapped on July 12 2006 in an unprovoked act of hostility by Hezbollah, that essentially began the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon has bravely come out and stated to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert:

"If the sons aren't alive, there shouldn't be any deal at all."

The bravery of this man deserves the highest accolades. Can you image the pain this man and the rest of the family must be feeling yet he has the strength of spirit to know that not only will exchanging his son's body for the release of an untold number of prisoners be strategically bad, it will embolden Hezbollah and will cause more harm than good. His actions may well one day save other IDF soldiers from a similar fate.

It would seem Hezbollah thinks Israel doesn't see a differance between a kidnapped live soldier and a soldier that has deceased. We all know the depths Hezbollah will crawl to, Shlomo Goldwasser is staring into that abyss and saying No, enough.

His bravery will directly save untold numbers of Israeli's in the future from both acts of terrorism and further kidnap attempts.

Mr Goldwasser I can't begin to understand the compassion you must have.
