(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - The Western press treated the annual "Jerusalem Day" flag march on the anniversary of the city's unification in 1967 as a mass exercise in intolerant nationalist fervor. They expressed a discomfort with the open and joyful expression of national identity, finding the spectacle of flag-waving Jews of all ages marching through Jerusalem to assert their identity and their rights to their people's ancient capital and its holy places to be distasteful. Universalist arguments that demand that Jews retreat, concede and forebear from exercising their rights only encourage those who wish to deny them the most basic right to live and defend themselves. The best way to defend Jewish lives in Israel is to make it clear that those who wish to return to a situation when Jews were a despised, oppressed and powerless people must be reminded that they are on the wrong side of history.2023-05-22 00:00:00Full Article
