PARIS, August 25 (IslamOnline.net) - Leaving Israel’s Ben Gurion airport for Paris, Alan Hadad had only one thing in mind, never to be back.

"Now I can lead a new life," 30-year-old Hadad, a Jew of Moroccan origin, said with a sigh of relief after his plane took off from Tel Aviv Paris-bound.

"Although I was not an active member of the Jewish student union in France, I was immersed in a family and social milieu to be a true Jew with deep affiliation to Israel which we were all concerned about protecting," he told IslamOnline.net.

He remembered how singing Hatikvah (hope), the national anthem of Israel, was a source of joy in his get-togethers with family members and fellow Jews.

Hadad recalled that he always considered that making aliya - the Jewish word for immigration - was nothing but a matter of time.

That is why after finishing his studies at the Sorbonne in 2001, he accepted an immigration offer made by a Jewish Agency official to fresh Jewish graduates in France.

But after an advice from his father, Hadad agreed to a voluntary work in Israel, a place that had long etched into his mind with idealistic scenes of long magnificent coasts and bustling night clubs.

"My father advised me to apply for the temporary immigration project which allows a timeframe voluntary work in Israel to see how I would adapt."

Hadad signed for Magen David (The Star of David), a humanitarian organization with noble goals as the Jewish official put it.

In January 2002, Hadad packed up and left for Israel, where he joined the Magen David unit in Khudeira town, to the north of Tel Aviv.

After a nine-day training course, he joined hands in rescue operations all over the central area, which is called the Sharon Coast.

"It was as beautiful as calm my first days and I spent my nighttime in Tel Aviv’s discotheques in the south and Haifa in the north."

But the honeymoon was over to a new nightmare of violence in which Hadad was a witness.

During my training, six Israelis were killed and dozen others injured when a Palestinian gunman opened fire at a wedding party on January 17, he recalled.

"Our organization members were on the scene, but my training director refused to tell me what had happened, only saying ‘you will get used to such incidents’."

As attacks by Palestinian resistance groups on the area increased, Hadad became more involved in the rescue works active after every operation.

"The scene of bodies had become familiar to me, and with every attack we began collecting corpses and body parties in special bags."

Ready wear the red jacket at any time after a call from the Israeli army, Hadad recalled, "it was a horrible cycle of unabated violence and collecting bodily parts that made me bored of this inferno."

After a fresh attack left 19 people killed and 120 injured on March 27, the idea of fleeing this hell started haunting Hadad.

"I fainted that day as we searched among rocks for charred bodies," he said.

"It was a vicious cycle of violence with no outlet for hopes. I began asking myself such questions as did I came here to collect corpses?’ " Hadad said.

Al-Aqsa Intifada flared up in the occupied Palestinian territories after a provocative visit by the then Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to Al-Aqsa compound, the third holiest shrine to Muslims.

At least 14 Israelis were also killed and almost 48 others wounded, six of them seriously.

Hadad wrote an e-mail to his father, thanking him for the sincere advice to try voluntary work in Israel before accepting an immigration offer.

"I found that Israelis are going through a new inferno, and life here is meaningless," he told his father before ending his adventure.
