B"H - The Jewish Memorial Day is Tisha b'Av. Next monday is the 5th of the second month as the Torah calls it, not "Memorial Day" as the Zionists call it. The same way the "Indipendence [from Hashem] Day" is to be sent back from where it came from, to the arrogant erev rav (mixed multitude)!

their families and those who fell next to me...

If I were you, I'd be ashamed to publicly state such narishkeit. Whether you are a "Zionist", Haredi, or secular, only a heartless and mindless buffoon would condemn a public or private attempt to honor fallen IDF Soldiers. No doubt, from a religious point of view, we do have the Rabbinically decreed three weeks of mourning and Tisha B'av. However, every Jew and decent human being should honor the memories of the IDF soldiers that fell protecting the Jewish State! This should be done every day in both a public and private manner. If you feel the Yom Hazikaron is "Goyishe" then perhaps you are a Kfooey Tovah. May the memories of our fallen soldiers be blessed every day, every hour, every minute!!!

the six million Jews

God bless ALL Israeli soldiers !

...in WWII Europe.

Why is the number 23,169 so precise, and there seems to be a list of names on a wall too. No exagerations or marketing here is there?

B"H - Evidently your comments reflect more on you and on Zionism's intolerance of Judaism than on me. In Judaism we don't sound sirens, we don't stand still in silent minutes in the middle of the road, all these Zionist "yoms" are utterly foreign, goyshe manifestations of the ruling erev rav, mixed multitude. Unfortunately too many Jews buy into their narrative. In Judaism Hashem protects us and our dead are memorized on Tisha b'Av. The more we worship the State and the IDF, the worse it'll get, as it is Hashem who gives us our enemies as a reward for non compliance.

Where was this hashem when 6 million of our brethren were murdered ? inexisting ! You may commemorate what and when you want it , we tolerate it . But we , TRUE and SANE Israelis commemorate our fallen HEROES this day , with sirens and standing up . When at such a commemoration a rabbi or cantor begins his "el male rachamim" , I'm disgusted .

B"H - Indeed, in Judaism it's Him, Charles. Only in Zionism it is the State and its IDF..

..those who gave their lives to protect the State of Israel. Their names must never be forgotten. Bless their souls forever.

Where was your hashem when six million of our brethren were murdered . Who liberated your place ? Not your hashem , but the IDF . Who liberated the greatest remains of our History , the Kotel ? not your hashem , but the IDF .
