Aaron Karov is one of the settler backbone of Israeli paratroopers. Once the exclusive domain of kibbutzniks, the elite units now rely on new pioneers, the settlers.
Lt. Karov left for war the day after his marriage. His act was the subject of controversy among the Orthodox population because the Torah commands newlyweds to stay at home for a year and spares them from military obligation. Aaron’s father distributed a leaflet throughout synagogues pointing out correctly that the release only concerns wars of expansion. In an obligatory war of defense, every man must fight.
Not only the defense of Israel motivated Lt. Karov; he also felt himself most suited to lead his platoon into the fighting. He won’t abandon the soldiers he has trained with.
Aaron received massive head injuries when his platoon entered a booby-trapped building. He survived twelve-hour-long neurosurgery and returned to consciousness.
Aaron Karov recovered and was seen on Israeli Independence Day celebration
Aahron Karov has survived and everyone is absolutely happy about it. But it’s impossible to recover completely after such traumas as Aahron Karov got.
This guy risked his life and Livni land for peace, she believes, will be enough to provide Jews with peaceful life.
Lt. Aharon Karov is positioned like an absolutely great and positive guy. But if you remember about all the atrocities of Lt. Aharon Karov, everything looks different.
Dahlan and intelligence scandal must be a shame for counterparts of Karov.
