Arthur ,   SF, CA   (03.14.14)
12. He was tortured
Jake ,   Petach Tikva   (03.14.14)
He was tortured by the enemy and knew what it meant if Israel lost. Today's peaceniks have the disadvantage of not falling into enemy hands and there for fantasize of "peace".
13. Deterrence requires "excessive" reaction
Mark ,   London   (03.14.14)
The tit for tat responses of Israel to terrorism can never deter. Deterrence requires "over-reaction" or "disproportionate force". The EU, UN and other useless acronyms do not get this. The older generation of heroes/lions of Israel did. We must bring it back to restore Israel's security.
14. Gibor Israel
Michael ,   Israel   (03.14.14)
Meir Har Zion I salute you. Your bravery has inspired millions of Israeli soldiers. I hope the next generation will follow in your path.
15. MY HERO
GENESIS ,   JHB RSA   (03.14.14)
May you rest in PEACE ! you gave your all to defend our land. If we had 5,000 soldiers with your bravery, guts and aptitude we could finnish off our 60 year old war today. May your reunion with your dear sister be the the reward for you. Shabbat Shalom in Heaven!!!!!!!
16. Har Zion, a true hero for Israel.
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.14.14)
G_d bless his soul. He is one of the greatest in the history of Israel, and was in the front against the terrorism from evil cult of islam. His reputation is flawless, a good soldier.
17. MEIR HAR-ZION : a very sad day
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (03.14.14)
Har-Zion was the bravest and most extraordinary man of the twentieth century. Even as a teenager , he regularly hiked across dangerous borders in to enemy territory . A very sad day for Israel.
18. Meir Har-Tzion
DG ,   NJ, USA   (03.14.14)
A true hero. Always wanted to meet this gentleman and shake his hand. Sorry that I never had the opportunity to do so, but hopefully we'll meet one day up there. Baruch dayan emet...
19. יהי זכרו ברוך / May memorizing him be of blessing
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.14.14)
20. Rest in Peace Hero of Israel
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.14.14)
Revenge killings is the language of the Muslim Arabs. Once they lose more than they gain from killing Jews is when we will have peace. We won't have to do the killing. God Himself is causing them to kill one another like wild donkeys. May this be a lesson to Ishmael. YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT US. YOU ARE UNDER JUDGEMENT. Best you leave our lands ASAP.
21. A brave soldier he deserved the name Zion RIGHT ???
M.S. ,   mpls america   (03.15.14)
I realize he was born in early Israel 80 years ago before it was officially Israel at least by world accepted standards he led the way he will no doubt serve as a example to others of the new generation that will hopefully follow him RIGHT ??? Thank You... M.S.

23. Had to be Ruthless and Courageous
Zechariah   (03.15.14)
We needed Har Zions and Sharon's against the Nazis and indeed the Russian generals some Jewish were Ruthless even worse than Sharon and Har Zion but Were Horribly Wasteful with Russian military and Civilian lives .Israel could not afford this so few Jews so many Arabs.In the Future it will be more So .
