..but it is not right to accept the premise that war is inevitable or that these brave men and women needed to die in conflicts that often come about through the greed and self-interest of other men (and it invariably is men). They give their lives and so should trust that the situations they are placed in are just, but as we know all too well (especially in recent years) they suffer for the agendas of others. It makes their sacrifice doubly hard to bear. Reply->

Poems of Hannah Senesh In the national military cemetery, situated on top of the highest of the Judean Hills overlooking Jerusalem, there is a small circle set apart; within it are seven graves in the shape of a V, the outline of a parachute carved on each headstone. Buried in that circle are seven of the thirty-two Palestine-Jewish parachutists, members of the British Armed Forces, who were dropped into Nazi-occupied Balkan countries during World War Two, in an effort to save their people from the Nazi holocaust. Of the thirty-two sent, seven fell. One of the seven was Hannah Senesh, aged twenty-three and the only one of the seven about whom there is clear, definite testimony regarding her fate from the time of her capture until her execution… Marta Cohn She is my hero; maybe after reading her poems and learning about her, she will become one of your heroes.
