The Shalit family is in the headlines again, but this time in a context that is not necessarily positive for them: A few days ago, a post was published on the social network Facebook that sharply criticizes the family's conduct during the war, and in general, the events of the past month.
And this is what surfer Assaf Amram wrote:
""In honor of the Shalit family!! We did everything for you, but we never saw you once, not on television, we never saw you come to visit, not the war wounded, nor to visit the families of the fallen, who at other times were by your side, and the saddest thing is that we are fighting against the same people we released for your son. You are cold and ungrateful people!!!""
The unknown writer's short post went viral, and within a short time it had accumulated over a thousand comments, about 2,500 likes, and a thousand shares.
The reactions were also not slow in coming: some support the family, but a significant number, or as one can get the impression, the majority of the respondents, criticize the family, its conduct, and Gilad himself.
For example, one of the surfers writes: "Truly disgusting!! Gilad and his father should have been among the first to stand up. Ungrateful people! They forgot very quickly what the state did for them.".
On the other hand, there are those who seek to support the family and actually attack the visitors.
Jenny: "What's going on with you?!!! Have you ever asked yourself how they feel? What's it like to suffer like this for 5 years?!!! Maybe they're trying to recover? Does it seem to you that he came home and everything continues as if it never happened? These people will never be able to completely overcome this or return to a life like that of ordinary people, like you. Whoever writes such shocking comments here has no idea about life. It's a disgrace to judge people like this from a warm and comfortable place at home on the couch!" Tal also said: "No one can judge them for what they've been through. This post is completely out of place.".
One of the interesting responses belongs to Limor, who seeks to separate the parents from Gilad himself: "Every time I see the posts about the Shalit family, I get nervous!! Every word is true. They should show their faces and shame on them for not doing so, but a separation should be made between the parents and Gilad. The parents are the ones who need to show their faces, not Gilad. He's been through his own thing...""
