Israel is on the front lines in the war against global terrorism. This war has cost the tiny Jewish nation thousands of it’s soldiers since it’s inception in 1948, including 760 soldiers killed during this past year. With Israel about to invade the Hamas controlled city of Rapha, (in the wake of the Biden Administration’s arms embargo) this number will surely rise in the coming year.
Every American should be proud to support Israel. That is because when Israel defeats terrorism in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Judea & Samaria, and Gaza, it is protecting Americans in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and all points in between. May the memory of Israel’s fallen soldiers be a blessing. Am Yisrael Chai.
We are on the eve of Independence Day. In the War of Independence 76 years ago, we were the few against the many. We did not have weapons. There was an arms embargo on Israel, but with great strength of spirit, heroism and unity among us – we were victorious. pic.twitter.com/Rv4BeMljn0
