Israel's 61st Independence Day By David Stern On Wednesday, April 29th, 2009, Israel is celebrating its 61st Independence Day. After almost 2000 years without independence and with no one to protect us, and after the Holocaust that took six million lives of our people, we, the Jewish people founded our state, The State of Israel on May 14th, 1948. Ever since, the state of Israel is fighting for its existence. More than 22,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in wars and terror attacks. Our celebration is happiness mixed with sadness, remembering the victims. There are people that say that the holocaust is just an excuse for the Israeli people to conquer land that doesn't belong to us and to make another people suffer on purpose. That is so wrong. Israel wants to live in peace with other peoples. On November 29th, 1947, the UN has declared that there should be two states in our land: a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jews accepted the declaration and founded their state, and the Arabs attacked the Jewish state in order to wipe it away. Since then until today, it seems like the Palestinians want to destroy Israel more than they want an independent state of their own. I wish that peace will come soon to our area.
