Death and eulogy of Roi Rotberg : ウィキペディア英語版 | Death and eulogy of Roi Rotberg
In 1956, Israeli Chief of Staff Moshe Dayan gave a eulogy for a Roi Rotberg, a kibbutz security officer killed near the Gaza Strip, calling upon Israel to search its soul and probe the national mindset. Dayan's eulogy is considered one of the most influential speeches in Israeli history, and has the importance in Israeli collective memory that the Gettysburg Address has in American memory. ==Background== Nahal Oz became a kibbutz in 1953 and was frequently in conflict with Arabs who crossed the nearby armistice line from Gaza to reap crops and conduct petty theft. The previous few months had been relatively quiet on the Israel's borders with Egypt and Gaza, but escalated with several cross-border shootings in early April.〔 On April 4, three Israeli soldiers were killed by Egyptian forces on the Gaza border.〔 Israel responded the next day by shelling the center of Gaza City, killing 58 Egyptian and Palestinian civilians as well as 4 Egyptian soldiers.〔 Egypt responded by resuming fedayeen attacks across the border, killing 14 Israelis during the period 11–17 April.〔 Rotberg, the Nahal Oz security officer,〔 was regularly involved in chasing off infiltrators, sometimes using lethal force.〔 On 29 April 1956 he was caught in a prepared ambush; Arab harvest workers began to reap wheat in the kibbutz's fields in a spot where Rotberg would see them, he did, but as he rode toward them to chase them off others emerged from hiding to attack.〔 He was shot off his horse, beaten and shot again, then his body was dragged into Gaza.〔 According to Jean-Pierre Filiu, Rotberg's attackers included, "an Egyptian policeman" and "a Palestinian farmer." The body was returned on the same afternoon, badly mutilated, after United Nations intervention.〔
