Grieving father urges President Biden not to pressure Israel in a heartfelt plea from his fallen son’s grave, framing the battle as a fight for democracy and against barbarism.
Yehiel Leiter, mourning the loss of his son, Major Moshe Yedidya Leiter, in the Gaza battle, passionately eulogized at Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem, directly addressing US President Joe Biden.
Highlighting their shared origins in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and the common grief of losing a son, Leiter stressed that Moshe fought fiercely for democracy and Judeo-Christian Western values against the darkness of groups like Hamas-ISIS.
With raw emotion, he implored President Biden not to pressure Israel to halt its offensive, framing it as a battle of light against darkness, truth against lies, and civility against murderous barbarism, declaring it on his son’s grave.
