Israel Memorial Day
The 7th May is Israel's Memorial Day. Sirens go off at a certain time and people are required to stop walking on the street and stand still. This includes people driving their car, they must come to a stop and come out and wait for the sirens to stop. The day honors soldiers and victims who died from terrorist attacks and defense duties.
I wonder if people here would do something like that during Our memorial day activities. Even for three minutes.
I am glad that Israel takes time out to celebrate its veterans who have fought to keep their country free. I hope in the year to come they are more successful in ridding this world of some terrorists.
Israel marks its 60th anniversary
Israel begins events to mark 60 years since its creation in 1948, a date the Palestinians remember as "the Catastrophe".
