Israelis can celebrate that day as they want and arabs can do what they want too, there is no law imposed on us to stay calm and remember the wars against us. # 2, i agree with u and am sure most people saw ur talkback but they gave it a blind eye coz they have that illness that israeli soldiers who killed children in Palestine & Lebanon should be respected.How can i stand for 2 minutes in the street today at 11 am when i remember videos of the babies and grown ups who were killed in the airstrike in south lebanon last war???# 2 & # 4, ur talking about transfer, good 4 u 2 do ur best to become an MK or a PM so u can transfer us ;-) how silly are your talkbacks!!!

Based on reading Palestinian websites, who call for Palestine on 100% of Israeli territory, it seems that even they have facts undermining your argument: 1) Despite railing against 'Zionist might', they concede that Tira was actually besieged by BRITISH forces. BTW, there were over 700 transjordan Arab Legionnaires in the region who could have helped them (or the Haifaites), but didn't, by order of King Abdullah. Why was this? Based on other historical documents (British, Israeli, Jordanian) it would seem to be because the JORDANIAN leadership was still CALLING on the Arabs in Haifa and surroundings TO FLEE to make their fight against the Israelis easier. 2) The sites concede that Haifa Jews almost entirely called for the population to stay, while the Hagannah (not from Haifa) were the ones who allegedly wanted Arabs out. 3) The sites say that even among the Hagannah, behavior among the units was not unified - this suggests that the plan of 'cleansing' was not clear cut or a matter of policy. 4) They also concede that a large number of Arab inhabitants fled because of Hagannah broadcast messages, which they claim were terrorizing and inflicted fear. 5) However, in terms of the Israeli government, Ben Gurion sent Golda Meir as a delegate to the Arabs in Haifa, at this time, in order to alleviate the Arabs' fears. 6) In addition, Haifaites were perhaps not the innocents that you depict them as: While it is possible that the Haifaites perhaps did not attack the Hagannah forces, it is certain that they INTENDED to do so. Israelis stopped a shipment of massive arms and 12 tons of explosives from Jordan, just weeks before the Hagannah took over the area. (BTW, the websites concede that the death of this Jordanian national had a majorly demoralizing effect of Haifa Arabs - making them more prone to fleeing, perhaps?). 7) Additionally, the 'defense' of Haifa was then taken up by Azzam Izz al-Deen, who has often been lauded by Palestinians and Arabs for his use of bombings. This makes it a bit hard to believe that Jewish residential neighborhoods in Haifa were untouched.

the more you Arabs ask, the less you get keep on delusianing yourself as you done so efficiently since 1947

Another invention of the brilliance arab mind, why to have such an day? because of the fear from the arab world. The indepandant day is an hollyday for every israeli, no matter if he's arab, jew, christian, druz or charkessian, this was the day when we finally achieved our freedom after we dismissed the British from here. The arabs should thank this country for their good economic position and freedom, something they could nither aquire in themselves nor being aquired in Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi, Etc.. till today. They should thank god for not being equivalent with afganistan under somekind of Iraqi/Syrian/Iranian ruler or whoever was controlling the holly state. Phalestinian identity can be possible only in favor of the israeli state and in the case of the israeli arab, they should start being assimilated in the Israeli identity.
