Goldin’s sister thanks IDF: ‘You brought back my little brother. Not Hamas — you’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHadar Goldin’s older sister, Ayelet, thanks the soldiers who served with her brother, his comrades who tried to rescue him in the tunnels in 2014, and the IDF for bringing him home.
“You brought [back] my own little brother. Not Hamas — you. I saw him coming out of hell in your arms… You brought him the honor he deserved,” she says.
“‘Thank you’ is insufficient,” she adds.
Addressing her brother, Ayelet says, “I stand here feeling that these are historic moments — moments that symbolize the light. Over the past two days, I’ve seen you everywhere; the whole country was cloaked in Hadar,” a play on her brother’s name, the Hebrew word for glory.
“I could feel you with us all the way to the cemetery, and I was privileged to stand by your side yesterday.”
She adds: “You, who went out to protect us and gave everything. Just look how many have fought for you. With determination, without distinction of religion or politics, in every possible way.”
איילת, אחותו של סגן הדר גולדין: "כל הדרך לחמת יחד איתנו. ביומיים האחרונים הארץ לבשה הדר. הבנתי שאתה לא פרטי שלי – אלא של כולם. אתה שיצאת להגן עלינו ולחמת ונתת הכל – תראה כמה נלחמנו עליך. זה מסע היסטורי של תנועה שקמה מלמטה ומשנה את המציאות ובונה את ההיסטוריה של מדינת ישראל"
