14-Apr-21: Israel's Memorial Day and a message of justice

Yom Hazikaron, Israel's official Memorial Day when Israel stops to honor the fallen of its several wars, underwent a significant redefinition when it was extended by government resolution passed on February 5, 1997 [see the Knesset's English language explanation] to become, in addition, the country's "Memorial Day for Victims of Hostile Acts".

In plain terms, the day on which the nation remembers the lives taken by terrorists who target civilians of, in and beyond Israel.

Arnold Roth was interviewed on i24NEWS' new "Global Eye with Natasha Kirtchuk" show during the evening hours of Tuesday April 13, 2021. A video of the segment (hosted on YouTube) is below, posted here with the kind permission of i24NEWS.

From Wikipedia: i24 News is an Israeli international 24-hour news and current affairs television channel located in Jaffa Port, Tel Aviv, Israel.[1] It broadcasts in French, English, Spanish, and Arabic... The network's American version began airing on 13 February 2017.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
