Celebrating the 69th Independence Day is not something, that all Israelis take for granted. Israel is the third expression of Jewish national sovereignty in the ancient historic homeland of the Jewish people, and that in itself is an indication of the specialty of Israel’s renewed independence and amazing history. Add up to this, that it is coming as it is, after the largest ever attempt to destroy the entire Jewish people, the Holocaust of 1939-1945, and it happens in the most unstable, volatile region of the world, the Middle East, where there are those, too many of them, who want Israel to simply disappear from the face of the Earth.

How legitimate is Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem? No city on earth other than Jerusalem is inhabited by the same people, speaking the same language, and worshipping the same god as there as they have for 3,000 years. 'The indigenous people of Palestine are Jews'- historian Bradley Gordon explained at AIPAC '14 Policy Conference.
If Sykes -Picot was the initiator of artificial political entities in the Middle East, then the ONE state which has betrayed all the odds and remained stable, is Israel. Can it be said about Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan? The on-going stability of Israel, contrasted with the chronic instability of the neighbors is the best indication, that Marxist or other so-called ‘’anti colonial’’ theories are not relevant in the case of Israel. Jews simply are NOT colonialists in their homeland.Ryan Bellerose is a Métis, indigenous to Manitoba and Alberta.

Josef Olmert (continued):
... as we count the tremendous achievements of this state , no one can also ignore the enormous challenges facing a state and a people which still have to explain what otherwise no other people have to do, and this is that they have a right to exist in their historic homeland . Yes, this is where the conflict with many Arabs and Palestinians continue to cast a shadow over one of the greatest success stories of the last 100 years in the world, the reestablishment of Jewish national sovereignty in the land of the Jews.Do "Palestinians" exist as a nation? by Project Stolen (in 3 Segments) (Modern Palestinians Myth)

Those who support Israel are entitled to celebrate in this one particular day, but they are also reminded that the celebration is far from being universal and uncontested. Seventy is a symbolic number in Jewish tradition , and hopefully , the celebrations next year, the 70th anniversary, will be also about major progress, if not outright peace with the Arab neighbors. Not at all only Israel to do, also the responsibility of the other side."From Time Immemorial – The Everlasting Jewish Tie to the Land of Israel"
