May 13 was Israel’s Memorial Day. It is often described as the most painful day of the year in Israel. Memorial Day is always a somber occasion in Israel, a country that has suffered through repeated war and conflict throughout its 76-year history.
Israel marks its Memorial Day for fallen soldiers and victims of attacks that began at sundown Sunday with an official ceremony and smaller events the following day at military cemeteries across the country. The solemnity is then abruptly interrupted by the fanfare of Independence Day, which began Monday evening.
It was particularly painful this year because of Oct. 7.
The day before Israel Memorial Day, Antony Blinken insulted Israel for not acting “in a manner that’s consistent with international humanitarian law.”
It seems our country switched allegiances from Israel to Hamas, a terrorist group. No one wants to see civilians die, but why isn’t Hamas blamed for using them as human shields? Why don’t the terrorist cowards leave the hospitals, apartments, and schools and fight the war like real men?

History revisited in the starkest of terms. As defiance then proved advantageous, so it will today.
