這名23歲的以色列國防軍士兵
被哈馬斯的迫擊炮擊中身亡。

以色列佩雷斯總統告別國會的演說
Farewell Speech by President Shimon Peres
at the Knesset Ceremony - Thursday 24th July, 2014
I came to thank you for the privilege you
granted me to serve our country and its people for the past seven years. There
is no greater privilege. Thank you.
Israel, this small country, became a truly
great state.
I know of no other country on the face of
the earth or throughout history, which amazed and surprised so much.
Gathering in its people. Making its
wilderness bloom. Resurrected from the ruins, surviving a terrible Holocaust.
Fighting back in seven wars. Bringing a language back to life. Respecting its
traditions and adopting modernity.
And at the same building a country which
continues to develop.
A country which carries values and
practices democracy.
A country without natural resources, which
utilized instead the resourcefulness of its people. Our human resource is far
more precious than wells of oil or mines of gold.
A country which was established upon a
historical core and became an outstanding state in the new scientific world.
A country of song. A country of literature.
A country which seeks peace day and night.
I leave the presidency without parting from
my faith. I will continue to serve my country as a deep believer that Israel is
an exemplary state.
We are a people that experienced
unimaginable agony. And we are a people that reached the lofty heights of human
achievement. We made great efforts. We paid a heavy price.
We will never forget our brothers and
sisters who perished in the Holocaust. We will remember those who fell in
battle, who brought new life to a redeemed people.
It is a great privilege to be a citizen
among citizens who know toil and struggle. Who made a supreme effort and
carried determined hope until the first dew of our dawn.
We returned. We built. We fought. We
prayed. Until we began to see contours that even surprised us. We are an
ancient people who are getting older. We are a people, first and foremost, that
rebuilds itself time and again.
Israel was born as a precedent and created
precedents. Despite being small in number among the nations, our people carried
a faith as great as any. The first to rebel against prejudice was Moses.
A nation that rebelled against Pharaoh.
That smashed idols. That shattered illusions. A nation that walked through the
desert to reach its home, its destiny.
We climbed the mountains and came down with
the tablets, with the Ten Commandments which became the foundations upon which
our nation was built and which were adopted by Western civilization.
We continue and will continue with this
great legacy. There are still idols to be smashed, slaves to free, lives to
save and justice to uphold. There is still a world to fix.
Even if we remain the minority among the
nations. Even if we serve as a target for evil – we will not deviate from our
moral heritage.
Challenges are not invited. They occur
spontaneously. That is how the current challenge occurred. I did not imagine
that in the last days of my presidency I would be called upon, once more, to
comfort bereaved families. Tears in their eyes. And faith in their hearts.
I did not imagine that it would happen
again, after we were hit with rockets which were intended to harm innocent
civilians. And after we uncovered tunnels meant to kill, intended to penetrate
into the heart of civilian communities and fire at mothers and children. We
must alert the world to the madness of the terrorist threat.
Terrorism aims to spill our blood. And
leads to blood being spilled among its people. Never has such a minority torn
apart the fabric of whole societies. So cruelly sent children to serve as
shields for its crimes.
Hamas has once again put hundreds of
thousands of the citizens of Gaza in harm's way, into a field of fire.
The terrorists have transformed Gaza, which
is over 3000 years old, into a man-made tragedy.
We left Gaza of our own free will and even
helped to rebuild it. Unfortunately, it was taken over by fanatical terrorists,
who uprooted the structures for rehabilitation and wasted them on a machinery
of terror and murder.
Israel is not the enemy of the people of
Gaza. The opposite is true, Israel built the Erez Crossing to open a gateway to
Gaza. We did not open fire. We returned fire when fired upon.
We fought the terrorists to bring peace to
our people. They were also cruel to their own people, taking food away from
babies to fund terror. They sowed death and they reaped death.
They forced their children to serve as
human shields, and sent them into the fire. I say it again, I say it clearly,
the Arabs are not our enemies. The policy of murder is the enemy. It is also
the greatest danger to the Arab World.
Hamas fired but it cannot answer two simple
questions. What is the reason for the fire? Gaza is not occupied, and when they
don't fire it is open.
Secondly, what do they want to achieve? You
can accomplish things without fire and you lose them when you open fire. For 68
years terror has been harming its people. It has never been victorious. It
brought only darkness to its people and destruction to its land.
Terror has no answers and does not draw the
right conclusions. Israel will be victorious over terrorism because we search
for peace and we are just in defense of our home.
Israel will win because of the IDF. Because
of its excellent commanders and dedicated soldiers. There is no other army like
the IDF. Its power is great. Its equipment is advanced. Its values are clear.
The country is proud of its army. The
people love the army. The nation trusts it.
When I came to comfort, these past days,
those who had lost that which is dearest to them, I feel a sadness that has no
comfort, but I also learn again the magnitude of our fallen. The fire cut short
their lives and revealed their greatness. It lit up the depths of their
personalities alongside the courage of their hearts.
Nobody had to explain a thing to them. They
knew the reality. By themselves. They moved towards battle even before the call
to the front lines came. They volunteered for dangerous missions and fought
like lions. Fast but not reckless. They carried the legacy of our forefathers
and the bravery of youth.
Their hearts were filled with love for
their families, for their country, for their people.
The parents educated and the boys exceeded
the expectations of the country.
I visited communities which had been
bombed. Communities which created wonderful societies and plowed new fields.
I met the founders surrounded by fruit
trees. And children who advocate for freedom and brotherhood. They are all
aware of the danger. But convinced of our ability to overcome it.
Members of Knesset,
Allow me to say from upon this stage –
there are none like them.
I will add, Israel's strength is drawn from
its unity. A unity of a nation which fights and builds. A nation of good
citizens, who enlist when they are young and volunteer for reserve duty long
after.
Israel is a nation that dwells alone. But
we have friends. In America and in Europe, in Asia, in Australia and in Africa.
I am grateful to them.
It is difficult to understand how across
the world in the streets and the squares protesters come out in support of
terrorists and condemn those who defend themselves. They hold signs aloft
without providing an answer to terror. They encourage and incite violence.
It is also hard to fathom how a council
which bears the words "human rights" in its name, decided to
establish a committee to investigate who is right. Is it the murderers or those
who refuse to be murdered?
If the right to life is not the first right
among human rights, what is the value of other rights? The terrorists try to
restrict the freedom of air traffic. We must not submit to them. Governments
must paralyze the terror and not suspend the flights. In countries governed by
law, the sky should be open and the terrorists stopped.
Members of Knesset,
There is no place to doubt our victory. We
know that no military victory will be enough. There is no permanent security
without permanent peace. Just as there is no real peace without real security.
There is no chronological order when it
comes to our founding principles.
In our search for peace, we must not
forsake security. In our efforts to ensure our safety, we must not forgo the
prospects for peace. A people which can win wars can also bring peace to its
children. Even when peace seems to elude us, our reach is determined enough to
grasp it. We have witnessed it in the past.
I remember when experts used to say that
Egypt will never sign a peace treaty with us. That Jordan will never agree to
peace with Israel before Syria does so. That there will never rise a camp
against terror among the Palestinians. That never will Arab leaders raise their
voices for peace and against terror, in their own language and not just in
English, in Arab countries and not just in Europe. Arab leaders that condemn
kidnappings and are open to land swaps. Arab leaders that are for two states
while one of them is clearly the State of Israel which is a Jewish homeland in
its nature and in its constitution.
There was never an expert that could have
predicted that one day the Arab League which engraved upon its flag the three
"No's" of Khartoum, would publish an initiative which refutes them
all, and would instead suggest a proposal of its own for a path towards peace,
not only between Israelis and Palestinians but with all Arab countries. Even if
we cannot accept this proposal in its entirety, we cannot ignore its value.
As Ben Gurion said: "There are no
experts for the future, only experts for the past." Indeed, the future
requires believers, not necessarily experts. The future is built. Not inherited
from prophets. In order to secure the future of Israel as a Jewish and
democratic state, Israel adopted the solution based on two states for two
peoples. A Jewish state – Israel. And an Arab state for the Palestinians.
This solution is accepted by a majority of
the peoples of the world and by a majority of the Arab world.
Members of Knesset,
I have come to bid you farewell as a citizen,
as a man whose dream is still alive. As a man who has learned from experience
that the greatness of Israel's reality is greater than the dream which begot it
at its dawn.
I am taking leave of my position as
President, but not from my duty as a citizen. I was a President who loved his
people. As of now, I am a citizen in love with my people.
I will not give up my right to serve my
people and my country. And I will continue to help build my country, with a
deep belief that one day it will know peace.
That Israel will uphold social justice and
will raise its eyes to the realized dream of its prophets. That Israel will
continue to be Jewish in its legacy and democratic in its practices. That it
will safeguard freedom of speech and freedom of research.
That it will continue to excel in its
scientific level on a global scale. That it will be a moral country. A country
which will practice equality for all its citizens – Jews, Muslims, Christians,
Druze, Bedouins, and Circassians. So we promised in our Declaration of
Independence. So we proclaimed in our book of laws. So we practiced upon the
commands of our authorities.
The social vision of the prophet Amos, as
the political vision of the prophet Isaiah, are our guiding lights.
They commanded us to take social justice
and world peace as guiding principles for our actions.
Israel was born on the foundations of its
principles. Today it grows on the shoulders of science.
There is no contradiction between the two
and there shouldn't be.
During my visits to the many unique and
diverse corners of Israel, I entered each place with an explorer's curiosity
and returned with a heart full of pride.
I discovered everywhere, and every time,
hardworking people, endless talent, wonderful children and surprises which
cannot be described.
Therefore, as I leave my official position
I will remain a citizen filled with hope.
Hope for a better future. Hope for peace.
Hope that the dream of today will create an exemplary reality. When I return
and meet the beauty and strength of the State of Israel, I find myself shedding
a tear. Maybe excited slightly more than my younger friends. Because throughout
my years I witnessed the entire incredible journey, and the miracles of Israel.
Alongside David Ben Gurion I saw it fighting
for its life. With few resources but endless dangers.
And today, I see her standing strong.
Secure. Flourishing. Successful in every field. I see my country promising an
exciting future for our sons and daughters.
Friends, Reuven Rivlin, the next elected
President of Israel,
I wish you success, that you should serve
the nation in your positive way, as you already do. With your great heart. With
your face full of light. You already have what is expected from a president. I
am sure you will succeed in our way and strengthen the future of the State of
Israel
Members of Knesset,
The nature of parliamentary democracy is
ongoing, passionate debate. This is democracy. This is how it should be. If I
may, particularly in these days when we must stand united, in these difficult
days in which they eyes of the nation are on its leaders, on you. Please – do
not lessen the debate. It is the essence of democracy. And it must remain. But
do it with mutual respect, with a sense of shared destiny and with great respect
for the Israeli public, like which there is no other. They are worth of nothing
less from their representatives.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

及至得了水氣，還要發芽，又長枝條，像新栽的樹一樣。

華人在以色列的跨國婚姻 三之三
另一個導遊姓王，30歲，來以色列4年了，身高1.7很健碩的樣子，說起她的跨國婚姻，王mm詼諧地說，唉，都是年輕無知，交友不慎啊，呵呵。
她老公當時是以色列一家公司派駐臺灣的，單身一個，工作之餘也沒有什麼事情。當時他們部門組織出遊活動，2天1夜，老闆見她老公孤零零的怪可憐的，就說，你也來參加吧。在活動中，她老公看到了她，覺得她很漂亮，就悄悄地問老闆，我可以請那位小姐吃飯嗎？
王mm說，正好她當時也沒什麼人追，反正閑著也是閑著，呵呵，結果就現在這樣啦。不過，王mm咬著耳朵告訴我，她說我不能讓他知道我這樣的在臺灣沒什麼市場，呵呵，這個可是秘密。
我對王mm的信仰問題很感興趣，追問她是否也去上課考試了，王mm腦袋搖得像撥浪鼓，她說，哇哦，那些希伯來文好難學啊，再說，我也不能因為嫁人就改變信仰吧。
我又問她，那這三大宗教你信的是什麼教啊？王mm打起了太極，她說，我啊，信的是第四大宗教-------上車睡覺！
很有意思的是，猶太人呢一般都比較沉穩，話語不多，心裡有數，可這兩位mm都屬於性格活潑好動，快人快語的。有一個共同的特點，就是她們對猶太人的評價都是兩個字：簡單。
簡單，看似簡單，其實不簡單，這裡面蘊含著很多的含義。
在中東國家，普遍感覺他們對東方人很友好，一是性格好，二是皮膚好。不過是阿拉伯人表現的比較直接，猶太人表現的比較含蓄而已。
我和他們接觸，也覺得他們好簡單啊，不想我們這邊做什麼事情前500年，後500載都想全了，最後，什麼也沒做。

華人在以色列的跨國婚姻 三之二
和我說起她的生活，她說差異真的是很大的。
她的婆婆是從伊拉克那邊過來的猶太人，因為年輕的時候家裡給訂婚的物件是個喝酒抽煙的不求上進的人，所以，她跑到姐姐家去逃婚，而那個人知道她悔婚後，竟然拿著汽油到她家門口自焚。從此以後人人都說她是一個狠心的女人，逼死了未婚夫，所以，她就再也嫁不出去了。一直到32歲，來到了以色列。
在這裡，她姐夫工作的學校有個從埃及過來的人，帶了兩個孩子，老婆去世了，所以，她姐夫就介紹他們倆認識，這個時候，她的情況也只能給人做續弦了，後來生下了兩個兒子，安琪的老公是最小的。
安琪的嫂子一家是從摩洛哥過來的，是做裁縫的，她婆婆總是覺得他們摩洛哥的人瞧不起伊拉克的人，特別是她嫂子結婚時，她婆婆希望丈母娘家給她做身衣服。
估計也是那個丈母娘不太會說話，說她婆婆這麼胖，穿什麼都不會好看的。呵呵這麼多年過去了，她婆婆對此還念念不忘，經常提起，說我胖，說我穿衣服不好看。哈哈
要知道，安琪來的時候，她婆婆72歲，現在她婆婆已經90歲了。
她和婆婆不住在一起，但是，她每週都要開車帶婆婆出去走走，買買東西。
安琪個子小小，黑黑瘦瘦的，和婆婆走在一起，總是被被人當成婆婆的菲傭，但安琪說，她不在意，因為她的孝心盡到了，別人怎麼說，那是他們的事。
安琪剛來以色列的時候不會說希伯來語，而婆婆又不會說英語，所以，老公不在家的時候，她和婆婆就雞同鴨講，比比劃劃地交流。
猶太人的家庭觀念是很傳統的，她去上學的時候，那時還沒結婚呢，如果放學後和同學們出去逛街吃東西沒有按時回家，她婆婆就會大驚小怪地給她老公打電話，說，喂，你的女朋友到現在還沒有回來呀，不知幹什麼去了？緊張的她老公丟下工作跑回來找她。
猶太男人性格一般都很內斂，考慮問題很周全，當然，大男子主義也很嚴重。剛學開車的時候，她開車她老公一定要坐在旁邊，提醒她注意標誌，慢點開，她說，越是這樣她越緊張開的也特別慢，結果就是每個超過的車過來都沖她豎中指，哈哈。她老公說，你看吧，你開這麼慢，還是讓我來開吧！安琪說，我開快了你不讓，開慢了還說我慢！你到底要怎樣嘛？
不過安琪說，她和老公很難吵起架來，因為呢，用希伯來語，她根本說不過他，用英語呢，她罵人的詞彙知道的又少，用中文呢，他聽不懂，罵了也白罵。所以，一般鬧彆扭就是跑外面轉一圈，消消火，然後接著過日子。
我問她怎麼不再接著生了，因為猶太人對生孩子沒有限制，以色列也是鼓勵多生的，她說不想了，生一個孩子我就3年回不了家啊。安琪每年都要帶孩子回臺灣看媽媽的，因為以色列到臺灣沒有直航，所以，她老公不放心一定要陪飛。可陪飛呢還要說她不能幹，說你呀，都是被寵壞的，你看人家8個孩子都是自己帶的，你兩個孩子自己還管不過來。
安琪性格很率真活潑，而且，說話口氣很和緩，可態度很堅定，典型的外柔內剛的東方人性格，我想，這大概也是她能適應這樣大的差異家庭和睦相處的緣故吧。

華人在以色列的跨國婚姻 三之一
10天的旅行中前後有三位導遊，兩位是以色列這邊，一位是約旦這邊。以色列這邊的兩個都是臺灣人，而且都嫁給了猶太人，因為，讓我對跨國跨種族誇宗教的婚姻有了一些瞭解。
第一位是林導，英文名字叫安琪，41歲了，來以色列18年，有兩個孩子一個12歲的兒子，一個6歲的女兒。
問起她為何離開臺灣來到遙遠的以色列，她說這是命運的安排，她和老公是上學認識的，當時她老公來臺灣留學，兩人很正常的相識相愛，當然，談戀愛用的是英文。我很佩服她的勇氣，大學畢業後追隨老公，當時還是男朋友來到了以色列，她老公是做高科技工作的。
按照猶太教義，是按照母系來確定你是否是猶太人，媽媽是猶太人，無論爸爸是否是猶太人孩子都是猶太人，而爸爸是猶太人呢，如果媽媽不是，那麼孩子也不是猶太人。
我想，她一定很愛她的老公，因為要為此改變她的信仰。
信猶太教說難也難，說容易也容易，要去上學，找個猶太的拉比，相當於基督教裡的牧師作為你的引薦人，上兩年的學，學習希伯來文和猶太教的教義，然後，參加考試，考試合格了，你就是猶太人了。
安琪順利通過了考試，成為了猶太教徒，現在是兩個孩子的媽媽，做導遊是兼職性的，有團就帶著，沒有團，就在家相夫教子，做飯洗衣服。
安琪是學歷史的，所以，我們都對她的導遊工作非常滿意，講解的很清楚，把我很多的問題就解答了，因為以色列這樣歷史豐富的國家啊，來的人都是有許多問題的，所以，不是簡單介紹一下就行的，安琪的工作的確很出色。
