Israel Memorial Day - What are We Remembering and Why
Today is Memorial Day in Israel where we remember the 22,570 people, soldiers and civilians, Jews, Christens, Druzes, Muslims and other citizens of Israel who fell in wars and terror acts against Israel.
The Israeli people do not like to fight, they love life. This love of life is behind the moral obligation the Israelis have to defend themselves. Unfortunately, it does not look like the aggression against the Jews in General and Israel specifically is going away anytime soon. From the shameful Durban II conference and Ahmadinejad's hate speech to other like sayers in other Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt it is clear that the people of Israel will have to maintain their vigilance and firm standing for Israel to exist.
And for those who still think that the Arab wars with Israel are because of land and occupation, here is a sobering evidence (sadly, one of many) to the contrary. It is a video clip from Al-Rahma TV where Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub lucidly explains the core problem (free MEMRI registration might be required).
Peace,
