Ceremony of the Tank Division

Posted on May 17, 2013 by paulas in Israel // 1 Comment

Here’s a great video – only 5 minutes long but worth watching. It’s the induction ceremony of Yonatan Gordon. His father is a talented writer, editor, etc. He posted the video to YouTube and it includes English subtitles to help those of you who don’t understand the Hebrew.

Even if it isn’t your son there, it fills you with pride. These are our sons – it closes with the singing of the national anthem – Hatikvah.

Congratulations to Yonataan and to his very proud family! Welcome to the family of soldiers – it is an amazing journey. Be safe and know that we are all proud of you.

We are a democratic country; so much so, we allow our enemies into our government and from the podium of our parliament, they have the freedom to call for policies that would destroy us. Our current enemies, those who pose the most immediate threat lie to our north. This is Hizbollah land, where according to their leader Hassan Nasrallah, “We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death.” Our enemies lie to the northeast. This is Syria. My sons have spent many months on the Golan Heights, including some tense days waiting to see how the Syrians would react after Israel sent planes to destroy a building widely believed to be the beginnings of a nuclear reactor. My oldest son fought near Gaza to help stop the rockets from being fired against Israel. Our enemies lie further to the east. This is Iran, led by fanatics who promise that they will do all they can to accomplish in a few minutes more than what Adolf Hitler accomplished in six years of war. The Iranian leadership has made it clear in words and actions that they are after a nuclear bomb and that their goal is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Believe them.
