Bruce's MidEast Soundbites

Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Tears flow again for Ron Arad

Ron Arad's Wife Views Letter, Photo -Shimon Shiffer

Tami Arad, the wife of missing Israeli air force navigator Ron Arad, viewed a letter written by Ron Arad in 1986 and a photograph of him, handed over by Hizbullah as part of a prisoner exchange deal last week.

Arad's letter to his wife was lengthy and he wrote of his love for her, their daughter and his family. Tami Arad recognized her husband's handwriting and the pet names used in it and burst into tears as she saw the photo.

Hizbullah claims it doesn't know what became of Arad [who is reported held by Iran].

We must do all we can so that we bring all missing Israeli soldiers home.

To take action and remember Ron Arad, we invite you to go to the latest alert from Giyus.org (http://www.giyus.org) and click to send Ron's picture to UN leaders.

Click here to take action now.; Sunday, October 28, 2007 6:04:00 AM
