Far-right marchers clashed with Palestinians in Jerusalem during the annual Flag March, chanting "death to Arabs" and sparking violence in the Old City. Opposition leaders condemned the racist attacks as a disgrace to Judaism amid ongoing Gaza conflict. #JerusalemDay #IsraelPalestine 🕊️🇮🇱🇵🇸 #reminder #oldnewz

From @ntarnopolsky on Dead🐦 (translating @yairlapid post, also on Dead 🐦):

💥Opposition Leader Yair Lapid: "The festival of hatred and racism in which Jewish teenagers are attacking Arab neighborhoods has become a tradition on Jerusalem Day in the Old City. It is a disgrace and an insult to Judaism. There is nothing Jewish about this violence. The government ministers who remain silent in the face of these events are complicit in this disgrace."

“Jerusalem Day was celebrated yesterday with a violent and degrading parade, with the singing of ‘may your village burn’ and mocking songs about the children who are dying in Gaza.”

Today, I’m holding two countries in my heart — and two memorials.

In Israel, it’s Jerusalem Day, /yom ye-roo-sha-'la-yeem/.

In the U.S., it’s Memorial Day.

One marks the reunification of our eternal capital.

The other remembers those who gave their lives for freedom.

And as an Israeli living in America, I feel the weight of both — deeply.

Growing up in Israel, memorial days were never abstract.

Yom HaZikaron stops the entire country. Sirens sound. We stand in silence. We know the names. We’ve served alongside them. We’ve wept beside their families.

There’s no separation between "them" and "us."

Everyone serves.

Everyone remembers.

So when I came to the U.S. and saw Memorial Day marked with barbecues and sales, it was jarring at first.

But over time, I’ve come to understand the quiet dignity in how Americans grieve.

To the fallen, in every uniform:

We remember.

To Jerusalem — my forever center — we celebrate.

In the U.S., it’s Memorial Day.

One honors our eternal capital.
The other honors those who gave everything for freedom.

As an Israeli in America, I feel both.

We remember. We celebrate.
