A GENERATION OF HOPE’:
ISRAEL MARKS 76 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE AS WAR RAGES


ISRAEL celebrates 76 years of independence. This year’s celebrations are mixed with sorrow as the war in Gaza and the rocket attacks in the north continue.

Tuesday marks the 76th anniversary of the modern-day State of Israel, as Israelis rejoice but remain mindful of the war raging against them in the Gaza Strip and on the Lebanese border.

Independence Day in Israel, celebrated on the fifth day of the Hebrew month of Iyar (this year it is on the sixth to avoid desecrating Shabbat for Memorial Day), commemorates the signing of the Israeli Declaration of Independence.

The declaration was announced and signed by David Ben-Gurion and members of the Provisional State Council on May 14, 1948—by coincidence the date in May on which this year’s celebration also occurs. It was hailed as the first instance of Jewish sovereignty over parts of the Land of Israel since the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem nearly 2,000 years earlier.

The signing was followed by the War of Independence of 1948-49, in which Arab countries attempted to destroy the young state.

This year’s celebrations are mixed with sorrow as the war in Gaza and the rocket attacks in the north continue, and after the country mourned the loss of Israel Defense Forces soldiers and terror victims from the past year, especially since the terrorist attacks by Hamas in southern Israel on Oct. 7.

Remarking on the dichotomy, Likud Knesset member Dan Illouz told JNS, “On this Independence Day, we remember Oct. 7—a day mirroring the tragic pogroms our ancestors deemed routine. Yet, our reality is a contrast, defined by the valiant defense of hundreds of thousands of IDF soldiers, realizing dreams of a strong, self-reliant Israel.

“This empowerment, once unthinkable to our forebears, underscores our progress. As we celebrate our resilience and sovereignty, we keep a vigilant watch over the fate of our hostages, remaining committed to their return.”

Due to the war, many celebrations that are normally scheduled were canceled. For example, the popular flyover, whereby Air Force planes fly across the country, was canceled.

Instead of the torch-lighting ceremony that normally takes place at Mount Herzl, it will take place at “Gaza Envelope” towns and IDF bases that Hamas invaders attacked on Oct. 7.

As in years past, the Israel Prize ceremony will be held, but this time in Sderot, near Gaza, instead of Jerusalem. Various small events will take place in communities throughout Israel.

This year’s Memorial Day was particularly painful due to the mass casualties suffered in the past year. According to the Defense Ministry, 1,599 Israeli soldiers and civilians have died since last Memorial Day

Happy 76th Independence Day, ISRAEL!

Isaiah 66:8
Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.


May 14th 1948, was the day, the above Scripture was Fulfulled. Ever since then , the devil and his host ran mad. The devil fought to stop but the Word of GOD prevailed.

That was the day, our generation , the generation that will see JESUS Christ began to count.

GOD BLESS ISRAEL TODAY, TOMMORROW and FOREVER

As we celebrate Israel at 76,
We must not fail to Celebrate the MIRACLE IN GAZA, as the UN brings back a whopping 11000 Women and Children back to Life.

When you decide to Partner with TERRORISTS, you must have to wake the Dead...

Independence is for countries that was once part of another country, they should be celebrating 76 years since their founding.

Happy celebrations to Israel.
Congratulations to the descendants of Jews in the Diaspora who played all the cards that led to the Balfour Declaration of Great Britain which eventually gave rise to the present State of Israel in 1948.

This country that it's first 8 Prime Ministers were either born in Poland or Germany or some other location except the Palestine region where they came to as settlers and refugees.

Now the Arabs that own the land are at the mercy of a land grabing refugee tribe.

Israel is a place in Palestine.

Didn’t the Bible mention Palestine?

Genesis 21:34
And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines for a long time.
