That's a broad assumption considering he was an expert in his field so he wasn't a fool, was in uniform with a weapon, was decleared by IDF as a combat casualty, and was killed in a combat incident with another IDF soldier
"he was an expert in his field" - what's that supposed to mean. He was a researcher, not an active soldier.
Why was he in uniform with a gun? That just makes it more likely he'll be killed, not less.
"and was killed in a combat incident with another IDF soldier" - That also just makes it more likely he'll be killed, not less.
I wasn't saying that he's a Rasha or that we shouldn't feel sorry for him and his family. I saw there was a special mention of HY"D and was questioning the insistence of putting those letters after his name when he went into a dangerous area without good reason.
Was he killed because he was Jewish? Or because he was with soldiers that were invading a foreign country and wearing clothes to make it look like he's part of them? Does that get a HY"D or not?
