Lights for Gilad and his ilk

Marina Gersony June 24, 2010

Israel Parade N.Y.

"Free Gilad Now! ',' Rome for Gilad Shalit," "Demonstration for Gilad Shalit," "Tehilim pour la liberation of Gilad Shalit et la paix en Eretz," "to Gilad Shalit Apoyo"! Israel, Paris, Rome, Milan, Madrid and elsewhere. In these days the world mobilizes to remember the young Israeli soldier captured by Hamas for four years, four long years that weigh a ton for all the implications - emotional and political - that involves the kidnapping. Kidnapped on June 25, 2006 in Israeli territory by terrorists are denied the rights of the prisoner under the Convention of Geneva. His family has no information on his health, neither physical nor mental. A tragedy without name and without words.

The Jewish Community of Milan o and the City have organized this evening from 21:15 hours to 22:00 pm, a candlelight vigil in front of the Castello Sforzesco to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the kidnapping of Gilad.

While in Rome the City Council has embraced the initiative of the Union 's Young Jews of Italy and of Bnei Berith Young to turn off the lights of the Coliseum for a few minutes. The event is scheduled for tonight at 21.30, on stage will alternate interventions and will be projected on the big screen images of Gilad from prisoner to free man. I do not know if these initiatives will have the power to get things moving immediately. In these years, Hamas has remained silent in the face of numerous and repeated appeals of the international community. Is still important to public awareness. And maybe even a deep faith in certain cases it may also trigger the so-called miracles. Info: http://www.mosaico-cem.it
