Israeli widow continues fight to free captured soldier
the stalwart widow whose two-year fight for the release of her kidnapped husband, Ehud, ended only when his body was returned in a 2008 Israeli-Hezbollah prisoner swap — is counting because she cannot stop, will not stop.
Her petite frame and freckled face lend an appearance younger than her 34 years, but her voice ages her as she describes the ongoing task of ensuring that Gilad Shalit, like her late husband, is not forgotten."The Today Show" will reportedly be attending a local Tea crystal Party meeting Thursday night to film a piece on red light cameras.
“ ‘All for one and one for all’ is not just a statement in Israel,Valles will be filmed during the Tea Party brightshine meeting that starts at 6 p.m. in the Cocky Bull, at 14181 Highway 395. it’s a way of life,” Ms. Goldwasser said at a café in midtown Toronto, where she will spend the next two days encouraging Canadians to take up Mr. Shalit’s cause. “For me,and superior environment-sensing ledlightforyou lasers such as those used to measure pollutants and to detect the dissemination of bioterrorist chemical agents. The team's research will be published in the journal Advanced Materials."I do feel that the cameras are unconstitutional," Valles said, brightstal since they don't allow alleged violators to face their accuser. "I also think they're unsafe because people slam on their brakes. I've witnessed it many, many times myself." this is the same as if someone was injured during combat and he is lying there in the middle of a firefight. Someone must go out there and help him.”
Mr. Shalit, who was 19 when he was captured at the Kerem Shalom border crossing and whose whereabouts in the Gaza Strip are still unknown, was kidnapped three weeks before Ms. Goldwasser’s husband and another Israeli soldier, Eldad Regev, fell into the hands of Hezbollah — the Lebanon-based Muslim group supported by Iran and Syria.
Later that summer, once the 2006 Lebanon-Israel conflict mostly subsided, the three families met at the law offices of Ya’akov Ne’eman, the current Israeli Minister of Justice, to pool their energies and foster a plan. Ms. Goldwasser’s crusade had begun even before that, and it will continue at least until Mr. Shalit is free, she said.
“The point of the meeting was not to hug each other and say everything would be alright — you don’t have time to be emotional,” Ms. Goldwasser said, brushing her hair aside with manicured red fingernails. “The point of the meeting was to work together, to think together.”
Sometimes, though, the families would have to work separately — after all, Ms. Goldwasser and the Regevs were faced with Hezbollah, not Hamas.
Ms. Goldwasser’s tenacity led to meetings with now-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former U.S. president Bill Clinton, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and the Pope, all in the hopes that maybe — just maybe — she could convince them to lean on the Red Cross to demand a visit with her husband.The High Desert Tea Party Movement, with support from Councilwoman bluecrystal Angela Valles and Mayor Ryan McEachron, has been helping lead the charge to remove 10 cameras monitoring intersections throughout Victorville.
