2GADOTLAYARDEN

In background and also the website mentioned above: picture taken at Kibbutz Gadot at first of April 1967, in one of the children shelters during Syrian shelling attack. For many years all the Jewish Kibbutzim in Hula Valley were heavily shelled by Syrian soldiers from the Golan heights, and workers in fields were exposed to snipers too. That was the reason that during 6 day war in June 1967, also the Golan heights was conquered by IDF. In the channel's icon you can see a sign saying "beware mines" that often is seen in the Golan heights. Although it is now developed and many new Israeli modern successful places are there, still there are places in which one should be more careful and may be still mined. The song in the website was written after 1967 war, and is called "My daughter, Are you crying or laughing?" And tells about a small girl that came out of the shelter in Kibbutz Gadot, seeing all the houses were destroyed, but that the mountain that was a constant threat is no more such. It tells also that no one will try to turn the route of Jordan river anymore (as Syrians did in order to deprive Israel from water stream to Sea of Galilee, the Kinerret lake, which is main resource of water for us), and then it says also that despite there are no houses and trees anymore, and father is not at home (since he was called up for fighting), still he is also crying and laughing at the same time, on the mountain where our flag is now and the artilery aim Damascous now too, rather thaen Israeli children. Gadot means the edges of river. These days the Syrian front is quiet, but unfortunately other places are shelled as we have seen in the 2 Lebanon wars, in 2006 all the north was heavily shelled by Hezbolla, and in the south the town of Sderot is shelled more than 8 years, and all kibbutsim around too. Shelters are better these days but the bad experience to be a target of hatred is not over, and the danger as well. שתי גדות לירדן זו (לא) שלנו - וזו גם כן ----------------- בין גדות -- ירדן יעבור ואיש לא יסב את מימיו לאחור
