GOD bless his soul,be strong,

is every soldier a 2hero" if he dies? so why is a 18 year old Lebanese dying in a battle vs. IDF, which killed perhaps many of his relatives in one of these terrible air raids like that on Qana, not a hero if he is fighting the intruders of his homeland? Does it not need much more heroism to stand vs. an absolute superior army which much more sophisticated weapons which mostly attacks from the air? i did`t know Yonatan Eichhorn so i can`t judge him. i didn`t know the killed children of Qana aswell. But finally it is surely much more terrible if a sleeping child is killed than a soldier by doing his duty! btw. Braveness is not needed to die!!!! its all relative, and as long as you all don`t accept that there are SEVERAL truths in this world beside your own, there is no hope for middle east...

stop always recomanding your own comments! esp. if they are so pointless!

When you see the vibrant, intellectual face of someone that is no more, you remember it. Yonathan is very handsome, very young and this & every war is very sad. My condolences to all familes, Jewish and Lebanese, and Palestinans. No one should have to die. I cry for all the innocent ones who have had to pay with their lives. Peace. It will come someday!

As long as your country can raise sons like this young man its future will be secure. Will there ever be a time when this sacrific is no longer necessary?

Despite of all the anger that is being felt now, causalities from both sides are very dear to their loved ones. All people Palestinians, Israelis & Lebanese shall see beyond hate & pray for peace for everyone. Only peace can prevent further loses.

G-d rest the so9uld of the fallen heroes and have mercy on their families, who gave the ultimate gift of their beloved sons' lives for this fight they went in to save the world. If the rest of the world is blind to see the new Hitler in the face of radical Islam, the world is just as blind as it was when Hitler was gathering his strength. The Jews will never againg go silently into the death chambers thanks to heroes like Yehonatan.

Dear Sophia, I am not occupying a country. I am not carrying a genocide, I am not carrying out massacres, I am not torturing millions of people. I am just a mere student going back to his country of origin once I get my degree in one year

Since you realize you are just a mere student, understand that you have a lot to learn. Israel is protecting itself agains a group that has stated its goal as the destruction of Israel. They rejoice in the deaths of innocent Israelis. You did not see or hear of any Israelis dance or give out sweets to celebrate the unfortunate deaths in Qana. That is the difference between the civilized Israelis and the Hizbullah barbarians and their barbaric supportors. As a mere student you have a lot to learn. Consider this lesson 1 in Civilization 1.01

Brave soldier who do what he's told, without question, and a brave family who understoof the sacrifice. If the Iraq War II was fought with 200,000 soldiers with families like this, America would have already tamed Iraq! No country would ever be able to match Jewish stoicism!

Randy, we are not offended, u r right..i cry too for fallen American/British soldiers all those who are fighting for Freedom. Thank u for ur words, ur kind spirit/heart shines thru them..words have tremendous power in them, the can incite a revolt and they can soothe a baby..We all have to dig deep and consider what sort of world we want our kids to live in.. one can no longer say "its not my business" make it ur business, the world is too small and if we are truly to help one another we need to understand one another from a place of calm/peace and tolerance and not fm a place of hatred/ichaos and ignorance. God bless the soldiers who are still fighting..may they be kept safe fm harm. To Yonatan's parents ur son together with Michael were both heros..it doesnt take away fm ur loss, but just so u know a whole nation grieves with u..God bless you/the soldiers all!!

At the difference of the zionist gang, I don't rely on an open credit provided by the US and German tax-payers.

TO the family of Yonatan.. I had the Pleasure of serving with your son.. he was the best soldier out there... I hope you can find some comfort soon....

Your son died fighting for freedom, freedom from terrorism and for the freedom for all Israelies to live peacefully within Israel. He died a Hero. I send my deepest sympathies to his family and his friends. I hope Israel wins this battle! jc (from the UK) ~x~

You seem to know a lot of things about me. Maybe you're a Mossad agent in the USA who'll finish like Pollard.

Is this the same family as Ira Einhorn the protege of Abbie Hoffman?
