Remembering Michael Levin, American IDF Hero

The Israel News Agency is remembering Michael Levin. (This is via Free Republic) "When asked to explain how it's possible that this young man from a Philadelphia suburb could teach Israelis about Zionism, his father has a simple reply: 'Michael was very small in size' - he had to wear weights when parachuting to prevent the wind from blowing him off course - 'he was only 5 foot 6 [167 cm.] and 118 pounds [54 kilos], but he had the heart of a lion. It's a paradigm of what Israel is: Israelis almost see him as a mirror of their own existence - that you don't have to be the biggest to make your mark on the world.'"
