We Honor the Fallen with Unshakeable Determination


(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - This week, as sirens pierce the air, bringing an entire nation to a standstill, Israel stands united in grief on Remembrance Day - as we remember fallen soldiers and victims of terror. These sirens remind us with devastating clarity why Israel must remain resolute and strong in a region that has rarely allowed peace. Critics fail to comprehend that Israel carries the sacred obligation to safeguard its people. International law does not demand suicidal generosity toward those who have written Israel's destruction into their founding charter. The same nations that condemn Israel would never allow aid to flow unchecked into territories controlled by forces planning their citizens' massacre. Israelis remember the unbearable price paid - generation after generation - simply to have a state at all. Each name read aloud at memorial ceremonies tells the story of why Israel cannot bow to international pressure when it comes to the security of its people. Israelis stand at gravesides and reaffirm a painful truth learned through centuries of persecution: without strength, there is no Israel. This Remembrance Day, Israelis honor their fallen not just with tears but with unshakable determination. They will continue to fight - with courage, with morality, and with unwavering strength - for their right to live freely in the only place they have ever truly called home.
