Among the Israeli soldiers killed on Saturday was Uri Grossman, the son of one of Israel’s most prominent anti-war activists, the writer David Grossman. Uri Grossman was killed when an anti-tank missile hit his tank in southern Lebanon. He was just two weeks shy of his 21st birthday. Two days before Uri was killed, his father David Grossman held a press conference, along with fellow novelists Amos Oz and A.B. Yehoshua, to denounce the expansion of the operation in Lebanon. David Grossman said “Out of concern for the future of Israel and our place here, the fighting should be stopped now, to give a chance to negotiations.”
