Israel's 75th independence anniversary
We've certainly come quite a ways with 75 years to Israel's independence day celebration, which took place again on Mount Hertzl:
Israel celebrates its independence annually on the fifth day of the Hebrew month of Iyar, immediately following Remembrance Day on the fourth. This year, Remembrance Day began on the evening of April 24th and Independence Day began on the evening of the 25th.On that note, the leftists opposing the reforms are going to have to reevaluate their MO. They've acted very inappropriately to date, and that must cease.
"Dear citizens of Israel," Netanyahu began, "the sharp transition from Remembrance Day to Independence Day is like the birth of the country, which brings both comfort and joy.
"Thanks to the [sacrifices of] our fallen, we can all celebrate now as a free people in our country. For 75 years we have been doing this, as brothers and sisters.
"Just as the Zionist pioneers sang:
"'Look, brothers, look! Let us hasten our step - Fly, brothers, flyTo the land of our inheritance!'
"We are brothers," the prime minister said, likely referencing the recent domestic tensions sparked by the government's judicial reforms. "We don't always agree on everything; sometimes we argue passionately. But the mutual guarantee [of brotherhood] between us is strong."
