I usually find it quite easy to find words to express myself but every word I am trying to find to write about Major Jamal and his last conversation with his family is choking me.

He went to battle morally convinced he is fighting evil and emboldened by his father's voice telling him 'I love you'.

To LTC Hecht, I respectfully ask you to let Major Jamal's family know that strangers from other countries are heart broken for their son and brother.

We may not recognise any of the IDF fallen soldiers if we were to cross each other in a busy street but we certainly recognise their valor.

May their memories be a blessing.

Am Israel Chai

It is with the deepest respect and profound condolences to the family of Major Abbas and all those who have died that I write. They fought with utter resolve on behalf of each other and all of those men women and children who, due to age or infirmity, are unable to protect themselves from profoundly evil men. They died now to protect this generation and generations to come. I trust they will live on in the memories of all of us who collectively understand this is a war forced on the people of Israel the sole purpose of which is to eradicate evil so decent people, regardless of race, religion or nationality, may raise their families in peace.

May God bless Major Abbas, all those who have fallen and protect those who continue to fight.

This is so sad on so many levels. First the bravery of such a young man to go into combat with such conviction and strength in his soul. Secondly losing his precious life with so much ahead of him. The void of his loss must be so heartbreaking for his family. All i can say is my deepest condolences and may God give you the ability to carry on in life and live in such manner that reflects the man he was a what he accomplished and how he would want you to be .

My heart goes out to Col Anan Abbas and his family. Be forever proud of your son. He stood on the right side of history.

That is so so so sad. I do not understand a world which is so brutally murderous towards Israel and never have. I don’t really have the right words. May his memory be a blessing and G*d protect the rest of the family and all the young men fighting for Israel for the West and for global sanity.
