Eretz Yisrael Time

I received the following in the mail with a significant comment that someone attached to it.

At first glance this is very important flyer and protest. But now, take a second and think why this goes beyond insulting.
If you didn’t catch it, then let me explain.

The catch phrase is “Show the world we have not forgotten and will not forget them”

One little problem.

Off hand, I can think of 5 other kidnapped Israeli soldiers that appear to have been forgotten by the organizers.

So what does this mean?

We only won’t forget the last batch? The others are less important? Less interesting? When Hamas or Hizbollah kidnap the next soldiers, do these current guys get forgotten for who ever is newer and more “in”? Do we not care about the rest anymore?

Did we simply forget them?

I'm sure they had good intentions, but it’s a shame when the leadership of such large (I don’t know if they are important) organizations screw up so seriously.

You can voice your displeasure to them at:

(Oh, and what about Jonathan Pollard?)

you are correct. but this is not an exception. most people never think about the older captives. who even knows their names?

also, i think the emphasis on the recent captives is because people assume the older ones are long dead.

and pollard is not a pow/mia

These organizations are run by wealthy philanthropists. They have the money, but not necessarily the leadership skills.
