Now, in 2024, it’s not Remembrance Day, rather Remembrance Year. That was my takeaway from the Shilo Memorial Ceremony last night. So true. How many of our precious soldiers have fallen! How many terror victims! How many funerals! How many condolence calls!
When will it end? Not with a ceasefire. No, sadly a ceasefire just gives the enemy time to rearm, rebuild tunnels, and plan our annihilation over again.
It will end only when our enemies return our hostages, stop firing weapons at us, and finally, finally accept our right to exist.
Tonight, we will begin our Independence Day with heartfelt prayers of thankfulness for what we have and pleas for true peace. Our celebrations will be subdued this year. Too many families are mourning. Still, we will remind ourselves that had a program like October 7th occurred 76 years ago, before the State of Israel existed, we could have done little except bury our dead and say Kaddish. Now we can defend ourselves. We can and will continue to do so, no matter what the USA, the UN, the EU, or any college students say.
Am Yisroel Chai! The Jewish people live! We will not commit suicide!
