The number of fallen soldiers recorded in Israel this year stands at 22,867 (says Haaretz), including 183 since last Remembrance Day. 2,443 civilian victims of terror are remembered; 13 names were added to that list in the past year. Remembrance Day is always the day before Israel's Independence Day (5th day of Iyar), the anniversary of the Proclamation of the State of Israel in 1948.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
