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.

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.
