Conversation - Tzur Goldin, brother of Hadar Goldin, who was murdered & is being held by Hamas

okay sure it's um it's good to see you again for you it's already after tisha b'av for us we are in the afternoon after khasaot we've we've set up we're sitting on chairs and we're seeking but we're still in the heart of tisha b'av and we want to thank you for joining us it's it's good to see you again so it was in our community earlier this year and i want to thank you for joining us for this discussion which i know is not easy which is painful which on the one hand opens old wounds and also continues to feel the pain of current wounds that have not yet closed before we begin i just remind everyone that sure is the fraternal twin brother of hadar golden hashem yokom damo they were both officers and elite units in gaza um six years ago 2014 operation protective edge and we all remember we can never forget that during a supposed cease-fire that was brokered by the united nations hadar was ambushed and killed and his body was taken was kidnapped by hamas and here we are six years later and still they have not released his body that returns his body so unjust against international law against any code of ethics or morality so unbearably painful we know for you and your family and for any decent good people anywhere in the world who uh his murder itself is abhorrent intolerable but the fact that his body hasn't been returned among the many things we sit low to the ground and we cry and we grieve about this tisha b'av is your brother is your brother and the inability for you and your family to really be able to grieve the way you deserve to do so for him so i want to thank you as i said for for joining us for this conversation i know it's not easy for you um but maybe we can begin sewer by by telling us a little bit about your brother about hadar about what it was like growing up with him about who he was and and for the world for us on this tisha b'av to understand and appreciate what was stolen from us what was wrong from us what we're missing okay thank you rabbi goldberg so i'm pleased to be here um in this special day and i feel um with uh i i feel very honored to be specifically in these times where the big missions of our nation we should think about uh all the bigger things about uh uh make uh fish about our path and uh and i'm humbled to be here and as a part of uh discussion that we're doing together in this uh holy day uh i think it's one of maybe the holiest day for me and uh and i feel honored to speak about tada and i do it with the great humility even though uh for me it's the world so thank you for having me just start from that so i'm the twin brother of hadar golden uh i'm 29 years old now already uh when when haddad was kidnapped and killed i was 23 years old commander in the idf and ever since i've been a part of the long and hard uh tiring journey of bringing him back home and we were fortunate to have your community uh i'm talking to people who don't know me yet but we're fortunate to feel part of the family and and also lucky enough to have your support many times um and so this was a short brief about me we were born hadar and i we are the youngest of uh in my family we were born in in the western galilee north israel uh in a very small place that uh put it that uh had the goal of uh bringing the team and hiloni and religious people and secular people together was specifically designed for that it was a very small issue with uh very happy people with a very strong emission it was the first uh yeshuv that was like that and this this was the atmosphere that we grew up with and my father is an historian my mother is a computer scientist he builds she builds rockets and he is a historian and and i grew in an environment we also spent three years in england in cambridge uk as part of my father's uh sabbatical and so we grew up in an environment that uh gave us the mission and quest to feel as an ambassadors everywhere as uh the team uh with the unity a very big saying that you say in bina kiva that in hebrew you say and there's a makaf there's a line in between and we were taught that that's your mission that's how you grow up you are the the makaf the the small airline that is in between and this is uh um so this this was the mission and that was a very bright young boy he had a very unique talent for drawing and designing and he wrote comics and he wrote very impressive piece of art up until his very young age of 18 he was a known artist and we are lucky to have a lot of uh a lot of yetzirot a lot of things he created with us he was also a brilliant [Music] advisor in the youth movement and he was a teacher in in heart and an educator in heart and when we grew up we went to pre-military in shiv academy we studied in the ali and when we were 20 years old we recruited the military i was in maglan but was in syret givati it was a mitstayan right already and he straight away people understood that this is a very unique kind of guy with a quest uh to educate and he lived uh up to up to it a lot of times i'll give only two brief examples wrote a lot of things he didn't write it for people to see but uh it was more i'll bring i'll bring it i have it with me but he he wrote in his siddul everywhere he went a lot of lines that uh that for him alone okay so uh one of them was a prayer before he started the old villa the first was shivity but the the passages are one of them is this is this is what is the one of the cedaws um and it's it's something that uh went on with him and when you read it and put it in your heart you understand that it's something very unique the second is uh he wrote osva and avon his rifle strap uh strength and humility i don't know if it's the correct definition but it's the best that we found um because we truly believed that uh the idf uh soldier is is uh we should go back to our roots every nation has its uh and don't know gladiators rambo uh all the patriots and all the big warriors who set an example right but what what are we bene david the people of uh israel what example do we set and he thought about these two combinations taken from the siddha from from a a very very old uh prayer that was written um it's a very very strong passage written to about two angels you know and we can talked about the angels of course according to jewish tradition not the angels that are you know the the right uh what we called malachim specifically in hebrew and ozba nevada is two opposites that uh cooperate and flatter each other and this is the warrior in israel um so adol did a lot of stuff uh one of the when we were very young in the operations was an innovator we i i was lucky enough to be with him every step he went but he thought of all sorts of ideas to help people that are in great danger or need help one of them was the operation of ferrari tsuka it was 2009 i don't know if you remember the operation in gaza where he decided that uh all this there were thousands of rockets i know this is repetitive but this was 2009 11 years ago and he we opened the business that was supposed to bring all we were in you know the big cities in israel and he did we decided to take all the bakeries and all the supermarkets who had to close for just over a month and uh we took their all the uh i don't know what's determining english but all the merchandise they're all the merchandise to jerusalem this is a boy 17 year old boy who thought about this so you could only imagine what we feel today when you look at the quest to bring them back home and we do do it properly and do it in a way that saves lives in the future and also uh the feeling that we stay with uh that is all about shared fate about achoot unity and uh [Music] rabbi i don't want to interfere i i i want to follow your questions no no problem but there's uh also a very amazing context uh about to shall we have uh that i can also talk about uh when when you you will feel is right sure i wanted to just follow first of all thank you for sharing all of that because what you described really is the most appropriate for tisha b'av the notion of your upbringing in a place that's trying to bridge the dating that that that's why we don't have the beta mcdosh and that's what it's going to take to bring it back is the ability to heal and to be united and to be one it's what your family has stood for it's what hadar stood for and how he is remembered and as you described i mean i'm moved and i know that everybody listening and watching is moved by what is inscribed in his what was written on his on his gun you know the image of a jewish warrior which he was in this elite unit and and a leader in that unit and coming out of ali both of you the the image of the warrior is of a someone who's a brute who's brutal right who's but there's a soul and an artist and a sweetness then a poet that was inside him which uh it just compounds the tragedy the loss is so devastating because how much did he have yet to write and to do how much was yet to be said from his siddur and it's so tragic and it's so unjust and as i said it's among the many things that we mourn and grieve uh you mentioned your father's a historian and i know he wrote a book about jewish martyrdom about jews who gave their lives and when he did his research and wrote that book i'm sure he never dreamt that it would be his own child it would be his own family so talk to us about this effort to bring hadar home i know that you and your family have advocated for some change in the in the policy um towards gaza towards its leadership towards the international community um in terms of what it would take or how we bring someone home and make sure that that we never leave somebody ever alive or even after life so tell us about that change of what you're advocating in terms of difference in in policy okay so i think it's very important for the responders that we do nations has benefits and the way we set our mindset [Music] to very different issues this is one of them [Music] about bringing soldiers who are left behind in the most i think one of the sacred places that we have in our hearts which are the soldiers of the idf this is one of the most uh solid unifying uh val i don't know if to call it a value or piece of our heart um for 40 to just over 30 or 40 years israel has been struggling with the kidnapping terrorism it's a type of terrorism that is aimed to break our spirit as a nation uh terrorist organizations and not only in israel it's a global issue seek to kidnap soldiers and civilians in order for that to be a burden for us and assets for them in order to gain political uh political uh targets and in order to break our our spirits because they uh put us into a position when we need to choose uh from two felonies one is uh paying ransom with uh releasing uh thousands of terrorists and the last example was the i don't think it's uh it's just to say the gilad shalit but that's how i remember because he was a soldier and his family he needed to come back home and he's now he's building a beautiful family in israel he doesn't need to he or his family need to pay a price for different uh decisions that the government or leader has taken but one over a thousand uh terrorists has been released and this is just an example of one felony where you release terrorist terrorists and uh endanger your own nation the other family is a felony is leaving him uh leaving soldiers behind breaking the most basic uh character that um sorry about my english but the most basic uh the morale 30 or 40 years we have been struggling with that it's sometimes it had become a political issue um and now we were uh unfortunate to to hold the the present shift uh shift uh mishmagit where uh you know i live in the jerusalem i'm speaking from uh uh from you know a lot of people have lived there and family lived uh so this is the feeling where now we're in a very very um important uh twist and change of tide where israel has understood that this is very that this is a war that we are not winning and uh and so we are advocating to bring my brother home because we reached a situation where the mindset is that uh leaving a soldier behind may be possible especially if it's a fallen soldier or uh or the chances and the risks are high and uh and we got to a position where hadao my beloved brother is held by this barbaric terrorists and he's held there in a place where we exactly know we know where he is it's an hour's drive from tel aviv uh we know where what the terrorists what are their weaknesses we know uh how this could be a solution and how can can we flip the equation we can bring to a point where when a terrorist organization doesn't kidnaps a soldier or an israeli civilian that it's not an asset for them but it can be a burden and so we need to flip the equation make them pay prices is not us and this is a perfect uh situation where peace could achieve peace and humanity can achieve humanity because the gaza strip hamas is a terrorist entity of 30 000 terrorists that's it we call it the regional bully we hold two million uh palestinian civilians as hostages uh for a lot of cynical reasons and this is the a way where in the situation especially when we're talking about the kuvit 19 and the crisis that is global uh where israel could could uh reach for another search with civilians when another terrorists win and so we go all around the world uh we are dedicated to this mission we will never stop until we bring my brother uh home and in that in a way that secures uh the future of israeli soldiers families who will know that uh the jewish nation and all the jewish communities around the world won't rest until soldiers are bringing back behind and we know that when when when you deal with when you even talk about the situation about leaving a soldier behind consciously then you know it doesn't really matter if it's a fallen soldier or a wounded because when we know now when we're dealing with a coronavirus with the cuvette that when you disrespect uh the the fallen and then you disrespect the wound you will disrespect the wounded and then you will end up uh disrespect respecting life itself uh but with your permission rabbi i will talk about the context special context of uh of tisha b'av so hadal was the we were commemorating this week we were commemorating his fact that he was kidnapped and fallen in a very special event but uh the date of jesus christ his commemoration is and it's always in the middle of tisha taymim and the context is very strong because especially towards what he stood up for which is israel and what we believe is the very strong and the but not and at the same level the importance of the fact that our values our shared fate shared values will be as strong as as solid as possible the sense of shared faith and the sense of bringing a soldier back home and there's a very and of course tsuketan was in the middle of tisha b'av and the day of uh what we called shiva where we could commemorate any sense of uh commemorating uh the fact that he passed away uh was uh during those days and um [Music] also we are commemorating uh uh these days 15 years for uh the pinoy of gushkatif the region that it was right in the middle of gaza where over 5 500 000 civilians were evacuated or moved i don't want to use any i want to be politically correct but it was a very i think most of us were here it was a very disappointing a very big sense of hobart doesn't matter if it was with love it doesn't matter if it was uh but it was a very huge sense of quran and nadal chose to marry be engaged with edna saw he was meant to uh to marry uh to to marry her three weeks after uh he has fallen and um and edna was uh evacuated from uh when there was the settlements in there in mitslam in sinai but his family her family and then they were vectored then after that uh they were evacuated they evacuated from then and i was a 15 16 years old when that happened 15 years ago 14 i'm sorry for exaggerating 14 years and during that time i remember growing up and asking what happened to my nation what happened to my beloved values and the the title or what leaded us is the fact that this quban has all to do with then he took it was called eight night the disengagement but we the the the lesson that we took is that the disengagement wasn't the disengagement physical one but it was a disengagement between the religious torts the parts that were in in uh 500 000 uh civilians all the families the the the nituk they were between different parts of israel one of them was secular the others were religious one part of them were had a very very strong sense of zionism of they were sure of the way and the others thought about other things and the huge lesson that we learned is to unify and to to find a way to build bridges and then to be as one and i think we made a very long way now i know a lot of you watch the media watch the news i'm also very scared of what happens to our sense of our sense of unity doesn't matter how well politicians do politicians are here and very they're here at the moment and after they will go someone else will swap and change their and be in their positions but i i think that in these days where we see a lot of protests which are just for any this is our hearts being spoken a lot of pro protests and a lot of people with one uh um the auth with the ocho note one of them is more left one of those more right one of them thinks about that and the other um and there's also a sense of and we are all around about how do we keep this sacred shared faith and the way that we are together and i can tell you that this is for me it it's all all coming together the fact that was fallen in in afiyah and it was only about less than a kilometer where uh the yeshua that i once was the 15 years old [Music] fiance was evacuated and the very place where there are terrorists and you see the depravity of hamas the depravity between people who who [Music] we have life and the sense of unity and the lesson that we learn from them and i can tell you and in order to cheer you up that uh when you look uh beyond what is in the media and all the sinha i can see the future and we see a lot of a young generation and when i'm saying young generation i'm speaking people between 20 to the early 40s people who were tired of hate and who look at the future and what you do your community the the the way you i i was in your community not too long ago a few months ago with my uh friends from my tevet we went through very very hard times in tsukitan lost a lot of friends and we came for a therapy in your community and uh we are grateful and i can tell you this is only one example but uh the way you support in many different ways uh the future of israel and the future of our values and i don't think you do it as in uh you you you see you see through everything you know the reality is not always i think this is who this is we we are not ignorant about our reality we're not ignorant of how things are and this is what i say a lot of uh times people ask me if the situation is so terrible how can you persist what is holding you um all the time so what it's holding me is that the jewish nation we are holding about what is ideal not what's what is current and we when we look around and we see faces that together when you persist and you go on for a long journey our values will be saved and our path will be it's sure to be good and uh and and and we will find a way to not only to cure our uh wounds but also to set an example for the entire world absolutely sir you speak so beautifully and your english is wonderful and you're a great spokesperson for all that we believe and and for your brother we're not hanging up don't worry don't look at your watch yet we got a couple more questions to go but i wanna i wanna follow i know it's late in israel but at least you've eaten already i wanna i wanna follow up i'm eating already i had to i had a cake and coffee you know tea perfect where else cannot be here and uh i mean my family we drink a bit of tea and then cake and then after that that's it you're good to go after the tea after you're good to go so you know you mentioned turning the policy on its head where um when terrorists capture a soldier alive or dead they're not in the advantage they're in the disadvantage because now they know they have to fear and and that's a a wonderful vision um and and that can be accomplished by going in by the israeli army going in to do what they need to bring someone home it can be accomplished by turning off the power to gaza and say you're violating international law you have to deliver the body and until you do we're cutting off the power which many would object to as a communal punishment and something which is immoral and unjust you know my question to you is would you fear the international community if one did that would they say israel is the aggressor and israel is practicing communal punishment and israel is too aggressive and disproportionate and so on all the things that we've heard before can the international community be recruited to be part of the solution not the problem if this is in fact an international law why do they allow terrorists shouldn't they be holding these terrorists accountable why aren't there condemnations at the u.n where is the american government i know that you and your family have had many meetings with elected leaders in america and i know you have some allies and we'd love to hear about them but why why isn't the international community doing more to say this is against international law this is unethical this is unjust it's wrong it's simply wrong and you cannot border you can't trade we won't allow to negotiate with terrorists we've seen what's happened in the past when terrorists are released it's simply not right what can we do to raise our voice and to join yours you know you were in our show every every shabbat when the show is open in operation we say his name we dive in and we of course the oven for for hadar as well um but davening is is one thing we appeal to to hashem and we have to our tradition is always taught we have to combine the prayer with taking action so where's the international community who are the allies in the american government what are they doing and for our listeners who can help what can we be doing what more can we do in order to get this front and center it should be the cover of the newspaper every day it should be black and white every person of a moral conscience should be outspoken and say adar golden's body needs to be back home go back home okay thank you for this question because the international community not only that it it's not a barrier uh it's the key for uh resolving this situation um and that our main activity is uh most importantly in the u.s the white house the u.n american administration and also uh a lot of other organizations uh we also work on the qatar on qatar a lot and then the egyptians turkey the turks uh we work all around the world because we understand this is the key uh first of all not only that it's it's uh it's a barrier it's not a barrier uh the fact that we hold terrorist organizations accountable specifically this is when we in regard to gaza because gaza is as i said the original bully that holds 2 million civilians hostage we have all the right the international community has all the rights uh to uh combat this kind of terrorism and this is not only uh and we are not aiming in order to make a terrorist organization to pay the price uh you don't need to um to bring to a collective punishment it's not something to do with uh we never conditioned medicine food uh sewage or anything like that uh that are humanitarian for uh uh for uh the civilians in gaza uh and contrary we found a lot of solutions uh using the international community um that should for all we concern uh transfor gaza into singapore our offer is uh business and our author is polit politics and diplomacy and what we are doing i think rather successfully but we are not there yet is uh unifying the the entities the important entities international community american administration u.n eu icp we do a lot of icc sorry we do a lot of a lot of work all around the world with all the politicians concerned and opinions are all different opinions of israel in order to bring to a uh a point you know we have the deal of the century that we're talking about we have all sorts of opportunities all the time considering the rehabilitation of gaza gaza bring a solution and you know when both sides are climbing up a tree about all the uh peace process or the lack of peace process uh a key to put take everyone down climb down the tree the tree the high tree that they climbed on is uh is actually pursuing this stuff and we do it with great success uh but we need also to support this is a long a long long journey and a very hard one and we need all the power that we can uh get in order to convince those politicians to go to pursue this way and specifically uh there was uh decision 2474 the security council of the u.n that we always complained that they are against israel against the jewish nation everyone they decided with the very strong effort that we did with professor irwin cutler the person with the great squiott he brought nathan sharansky out of jail and nelson mandela now he's working in venezuela he's the human rights expert and he's uh also an israeli and we reached to a decision a security u.n security council decision that says no permanent agreement in gaza would be reached before uh prisoners will be brought back home for the specifically the boys and the u.n is now there a lot thanks to the support of your community this is this has to be said you should know and i know this is a long journey we're talking about shaping our future the way to bring my brother is not only uh to bring him home specifically but we there's a saying in in israeli slang if we choose the long way the hardest one then the fruits will be brought immediately and not you want you understand the point but this is the first thing and why the why do does the the american administration understand it very well it was also the obama administration now it's the trump administration uh because the international community understands two things the one is combating terrorism it's all it's all around us israel was always the israel was always a pioneer at uh defend uh combating uh bombing attacks in buses and attacking all over and teaching setting an example for the whole wide world uh the only and and so we we find support in this in this target and they understand it very well and the plans are written the pans are written in israel their plans are written in the everywhere we go they're set you got to know my mother and my father and all the efforts of over 100 people that go all around the world to uh to pursue this um so this is not only said as uh i don't know there's something uh something that is not solid on the ground the plans are there and uh the will is there the only will that should be sorted is the israeli will we we are in times in dark times where we underst when there's a lot of fear to do anything in israel there's a lot of we always calculate risks and not calculate opportunities we don't we we don't look beyond and fight for what we love and we demolish everything we love and respect with both hands because we don't uh fight it and if if we don't uh do it ourselves and convince all the people to act uh this could be the second thing just i didn't finish the second thing about that the international community understands the humanitarian issue and everybody understands according to all religions all uh sets of values and doctrines that moral doctrines that bringing a soldier back home bringing the the the fallen soldiers back home is of the highest importance to ev every set and also to muslims and especially the palestinians and we got into contact with a lot of palestinian families and you would be surprised how they find this an opportunity to get rid of the of the dictatorship that holds them hostage and of course they don't adhere to a lot of things that israel that we stand for and we have a lot of conflict with a lot of things but in this thing the agreement is uh from end to end and i believe and i i would say hiratson also that with great effort because now is the money time where we can really push and uh reach the situation where we're flipping the equation and perhaps the quest to bring hadao home in in his memory would be a quest that uh saves lives in the future and uh and bring us into a path where we our dignity our human dignity come is back our values come back and it will help us shape uh the future that we want for our children and we want for the next generations of it is israel and the way they and and their uh passage the way they communicate to the world so tell us first of all thank you for your time it's getting late in israel and you speak so passionately and beautifully and we're so grateful to you um leave us with what your what your charge is to us what what more can we be doing who should we be talking to what should we be saying how do we scream from the rooftop how do we do we need to in addition to including your brother's name in artfulot which we continue to do what more can borrow hashem is many listening and watching tell us what to be doing because you know transforming gaza is a beautiful long-term plan and maybe short-term plan but it takes a it takes a long time um he should be brought home even before it's reformed even before we get rid of terrorist leaders even before the palestinians are set free in gaza that that is a noble effort and it will as you said yield fruit not just to bring hadar's body home but it can really advance what we care about in the world but what can happen more quickly more immediately should people call their elected officials and put it on their radar put it on their map make them demand that hamas releases body give us uh in closing give us a charge of what you're asking everybody to do so the first thing that should be said never give up this is a long way long road i know that all a lot many of the people who are listening took part in the the efforts to bring my brother home never give up never give up persist and seek the don't uh and seek seek the ways in the past so so there's there are the usual things that can be done the first thing is uh people who are with the connections and have and can seek to affect all the politicians and every simple people can do that everywhere in power if it's an administration if it's local if it's people with power politicians people with power of money or people with a lot of powers to affect the reason i told you a lot of stuff this the u.n there's american administration there's the um uh countries like uh turkey egypt uh qatar a lot of uh and the europe in america and israel there's a lot of ways the most simple thing is to ask any government of israel even in israel or and i know they come i live among you know they come and they want the money and they want a lot of stuff and they want support and one power ask one question where are our boys why aren't they brought back home why are you scared we know real we know it is through reality this is one speak your representatives your officials talk to them persuade them don't don't uh accept no for an answer even if they they disappoint you carry on we all in a great go from strength to strength and the second thing is also you know if there are any people from youth movements or people are younger you are our key you are our army for everything go to the media go follow our pages the one is bringing our home everyone says to people that are the closest people for him your daughters your sons your brothers your mothers shali they are not mine but i feel like it's mine uh so that's the name of our page you can follow you can share and you there's a lot to be done and specifically in this at this situation and in this uh opportunity and uh piece of time that we are rare times that we are dealing with uh people see it as hard times and we see this as an opportunity a real opportunity for change and this is what happens international community the third thing uh is now in august we will start a very very unifying and strong and positive campaign in israel uh it will be in the whole wild world and it will involve all the remember this involves i can't talk about it about it a lot it will it will involve communities around the world uh who will uh give a strong message to the leaders in israel and to the leaders in uh the us specifically uh that now is the time uh uh we we are not happy with the way things are handled we want our soldiers home and uh we want uh bring us back the value of unity bring us back the value of shared fate and i believe i hope and this rather shame that we will talk afterwards rabbi goldberg in happier moments that we could look at this time this month of august i hope this is recorded at the time where the effort the shared effort that we have done in the near month will be the one to that brought us the fruits and the fruits are bringing our soldiers home uh bringing our strength back and our sense of pride of our nation and the sense of pride for our soldiers back saving lives in the future and by no means it won't be a way to bring any punishment to collective punishment people who are innocent this is not the way and this is not the case the case is uh putting terrorists terrorists lose civilians uh win and our soldiers will never be abandoned and left behind in the way that my soldier my brother my dear brother hadan was left behind in the sex six past years because may have no doubt my brother was left behind because our because we were tired and because of fear a conscious uh decision by the leadership by our leadership thought this is the solution this is the way to uh to change our uh our fate and now there are people understand that this is not the case we have sacrifice there's a mashal there's a fable not a fable but a word that we use when you want to save the baby and he's in the bathtub so you throw the water with the baby okay to say that you wanted to solve a minor problem and by by solving it you you destroyed the the the biggest pro the biggest thing that is dear to you and and uh the true aim that you are at unfortunately for six years six years consciously uh the decision was to leave them back behind there were endless opportunities to bring my brother home it in the easiest ways and in way of victory but now we're talking about today and we're talking about how we are sure of our of the of the truth of our actions and true to our and our sure and believe and in our existence in israel as and we truly believed in our uh soldiers and the way that we convict victor bring to a victory upon terrorism and not lose it because now i come back to the to the how i began this uh conversation if terrorists want make us choose between two felonies uh one is to pay uh prices and terrorism and the second is to uh abandon our soldiers our civilians our beloved ones that we will we will seek we seek victory and we will find it uh we will choose life and life will persist and life uh and the life
