ISRAELNATIONANEWS.com (http://bit.ly/1ulVPMo) reports that Bennett, who was accompanied by MK Shuli Mualem to open the school year at the Kfar Etzion yeshiva on Monday, reminded students of the “united Israel” that has emerged through the series of events that began killing of the three teens all the way through Operation Protective Edge.
Bennett told students that while the events have been “difficult,” it is now their responsibility to “perpetuate” this unity.
MK Mualem told the students that they, like the nation, must look inward during such trying times and ask, “”Do we focus wretchedly on what happened to us, or, despite the pain, do we choose life and march forward?”
