Today, Yom HaZikaron, is among the hardest days in the Israeli calendar. In such a small country virtually nobody is more than two steps removed from a fallen soldier. We remember our soldiers for their heroic deeds, giving their lives up to allow us to live safely in our homeland. As we appreciate our soldiers who have died, we must appreciate our soldiers who are still living as well. But not everybody shares that sentiment.
Throughout Operation Cast Lead, Haaretz reported Israel's use of disproportionate force, war crimes, deliberate attacks on civilian targets, along with many accusations. The IDF was portrayed in Haaretz as a racist apartheid force committing ethnic cleansing, and slaughtering Palestinian babies for the sport involved. And today, that all goes away... for a few hours.
Haaretz had the audacity to write an article today about the mother of two murdered war criminals soldiers, mouring the loss of her two children. The emotional article attempts to share with you a bit of Miriam Peretz's pain over the loss or her second son on the Gaza border a few weeks ago. Just yesterday, they published an article against a movement calling for the army to withhold from destroying her son, Major Eliraz Peretz's HY"D home. Such exploitation of the press for political gain on a day like this is painful.
But Haaretz showed their true colors in another article published a few hours later for the holiday of Yom Haatzmaut. The article decries that after 62 years "the mystical mode of thinking and the adherence to false beliefs - have, instead of disappearing over time, only gathered steam." So Haaretz took a break today. For a few hours they stopped bashing our soldiers, and targeted Judaism in its entirety. The modern day Erev Rav can't hide its true commitment, to attempt to destroy Judaism, and create a socialist secular environment to cater to the Islamic terrorists who want to occupy the Jewish homeland.
Happy 62nd Birthday to the young State of Israel. May we see the completion of the redemption speedily!
