US Senate vows to back Israeli strike on Iran
US Senate vows to back Israeli strike on Iran
Wednesday, April 17, 2013 | Israel Today Staff
The US Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted in favor of adopting a resolution stating that America will support Israel should the latter decide it is necessary to attack Iran's nuclear program.
Senate Resolution 65 reaffirms America's unwavering support for Israel's security and continued existence, and calls upon the White House to provide military, diplomatic and economic backing should Israel feel compelled to strike Iran as an act of preemptive self-defense.
Seventy out of 100 senators voted in favor of the motion.
Israel had grown concerned that should it become necessary to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, the Obama Administration would not lend its support, either morally, logistically or materially.
Obama's appointment of John Kerry and Chuck Hagel as secretaries of state and defense, respectively, had only deepened that concern, as both men are on record as opposing military action against Iran under any circumstances.
Israel's new defense minister on Tuesday delivered an Independence Day speech in which he said Israel hoped the international community would succeed in halting Iran's nuclear drive, but that Israel must be prepared to act alone.
"The world must lead the battle against Iran, but Israel must take into account the possibility that it may be forced to defend itself, by itself," said Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon.
Ya'alon noted that Iran firing a missile at Israel is not the only danger in allowing the Islamic Republic to go nuclear.
"A nuclear Iran could launch an arms race in the Middle East and spread nuclear weapons among terror groups. This could be the western world's nightmare," he said.

Israel's Memorial Day & Independence Day
Israel Memorial Day - יום הזכרון
Monday, April14, 2013 | |
The Hebrew word zakhar (זָכַר) means "remember,"
and zikaron (זִכָּרוֹן) means "memorial."
Yom HaZikaron (יוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן), then, is the
"Day of Memorial" for those soldiers who
gave up their lives in battle for the creation
and defense of the State of Israel.
In 1951 the Israeli Knesset established Iyyar 4
(the day immediately before Israel's Independence Day)
as Israel's Memorial Day. In more recent times, the
holiday has also become associated with victims of
political terrorism.

| Israel Independence Day - יום העצמאות |
| Tuesday April 14, 2013 |
After the Jewish people had suffered for nearly
2,000 years of exile as clearly foretold by Moses
(Lev. 26:38, 44; Deut. 28:64-64)
and the Hebrew prophets (Isa. 43:5-6;
Jer. 30:11; Joel 3:2; Ezek. 36:8-10; Hos. 9:1-10, etc.),
Israel was miraculously reborn as a nation in their
ancient homeland on May 14, 1948 (Iyyar 5, 5708).
Today Jews across the world celebrate Iyyar 5
as Israeli Independence Day.

Note that the word Atzma'i (עַצְמָאִי) means "independent"
in Hebrew. The word atzmaut (עַצְמָאוּת) means the state of
indepedence, which comes from atzmi - "my bones" (עֶצֶם).
Hence the "Day of Independence" is called
Yom Ha'atzmaut in Hebrew.
The name reminds us of God's promise to revive
the "dry bones" (עֲצָמוֹת) of Israel by bringing the
Jewish people back from their long exile (Ezek. 37:4-5).עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי / am Yisrael chai: "The people of Israel live!"
The nation of Israel is God's "super sign" that He is
faithful to His covenant promises (Jer. 31:35-37).
Celebrating Israel's independence acknowledges
God's loyal love for us all.
