The Constitution Committee yesterday approved the regulations of the Population Registry (ID card entries), so that in the ID card appendix of bereaved parents who request it, it will be listed next to the name of their child killed in Israeli systems or hostilities "space" uniformly.
Those who initiated the move are organizations that accompany the victims of hostilities, who noted that the difference in the wording of the definition "space" or "space" in relation to those killed or killed in Israeli systems, compared to "perished" those killed in hostilities, hurts the feelings of bereaved families.
The Minister of the Interior, Ayelet Shaked, wrote to the committee: The name of the child who died - 'Space of the Israeli Systems' or 'Perished in Hostilities', respectively. "Those who fell in hostilities hurt the feelings of the bereaved families."
"Total consent"
The committee's chairman, MK Gilad Karib (Labor): "On this symbolic but important and sensitive issue, there is of course the agreement of all parties involved, and we in all Knesset committees and especially in this committee recognize the power of words, and how often symbols are much more symbolic." .
Ivy Mozes, chairman of the Organization of Victims of Hostilities: "I lost my wife Ofra when she was pregnant, she was burned in front of my eyes.
5-year-old Tal Benny did not survive the inferno and died after 90 days.
I was left with my two children who suffered very severe burns.
"Why should I be different from the IDF space? My 5-year-old son did not have a weapon to defend himself. He was killed in the war in the home front."
"Equality between all"
He said, "There is a war in the home front and there is a war where the soldiers are killed, and I respect everyone. My wife, who was pregnant and burned, why not respect her too? We have casualties. 4,500 families who have lost loved ones, 16,000 disabled, 104 orphans from two parents, not that Nowhere.They did not perish - they were murdered.
Each and every one of us is 100% casualties, 100% casualties.
"The very fact that an IDF soldier puts on a uniform - I stand still for him, I respect him because he gave himself to the state. My family members also gave themselves to the state, and I ask that it be really equal for all of us. Blood and blood must not be separated."
The committee's chairman, MK Karib, summed up the discussion: "We all feel that we have a right to help with public recognition, and this is important recognition. In the same language currency.
The word "space" implies the space left in the heart of the nation and not just in the hearts of families. "
