Parks and beaches were packed Thursday with people celebrating the country’s Independence Day with barbecue and parties or by watching air force fly-bys or hiking in nature.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended the country’s annual Bible Quiz, in which young Jewish scholars from around the world compete.
Festivities began the night before when in sharp contrast, Israel abruptly crossed over from its melancholy Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and terrorism victims.
The grouping of the two days is intentional, to show the link between the costly wars Israel has fought and the establishment and survival of the Jewish state.
This year, festivities came amid regional tensions in Syria near Israel’s northern frontier and along its southern Gaza border.
Nothing nothing to celebrate. A Jewish state where it was supposed to be a safe haven for Jews after the Holocaust is not so safe. 70 years and still no REAL peace with its Arab neighbors.
Thirty thousand Jewish soldiers were killed in wars in the past 70 years.NOT one Jewish life is worth being killed for a Torah forbidden state.
The crazy Misnachlim are in danger every minute living in the lions den. Entire families were butchered in these territories.
And even IF Israel would of been a safe place still we are not allow to own and occupy it before Moshicah comes. This is what all REAL gedolim held.
Torah observant Jews always knew that NOTHING good can come from atheist Jews. Theodore Herzl,Ben-Gurion ,Chaim Weizmann and the rest of Apikorsim
literally hated the Torah מרשעים יצא רשע (Evil came out of evil).
On a sad day like this when the golden calf came into existence we need to fast and not celebrate.
Celebrating what?
Thet 30k jews already killed since there creation?

Maven and AlterG, on the side of the so called palis….do Jews have any worse enemies than that??? Feh.
Dear # 1,2,3,4,5: miracles are happening in front of our eyes. The words of our Neviim are coming true in our day. We must appreciate the gifts that Hashem is handing us and we must love each other. This I think will bring the full redemption.
