That has been done most decidedly by the current administration in Washington and was demonstrated only this week when the State Department placed the blame for the violence now continuing there on the so-called Hizbollah killers and their Syrian friends. We need to remember that the liberals for whom almost all Jews keep voting never supported Israel as forcefully as is done by those who received almost no Jewish votes at all. In Israel, Independence Day is preceded by a day of remembrance for the fallen soldiers who have defended Israel these 53 years. Then, a great celebration encompassed the whole land. Fireworks are displayed in every town and city.
Entertainers perform on every stage.
Dancing and music are heard until late at night and every neighborhood is decorated with flags and lights. It is indeed a great day for Israel, for all Jews and for all who are willing to recognize that the achievement of tiny Israel reflects how courage and determination with the help of Shem Yisborach can overcome every obstacle and every enemy. In the words of Theodore Herzl, If you will it, is is no dream . Shalom u vracha.
