&lt;p>והיא שעמדה לאבותינו ולנו. שלא אחד בלבד עמד עלינו לכלותנו, אלא שבכל דור ודור עומדים עלינו לכלותנו, והקדוש ברוך הוא מצילנו מידם&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This is what has stood by our fathers and us! For not just one alone has risen against us to destroy us, but in every generation they rise against us to destroy us; and the Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from their hand!&lt;/p>

&lt;p>I live in Israel because I am a Jew, and Jews have a commandment to live here. It&amp;rsquo;s that simple. I don&amp;rsquo;t care if anyone else wants to live here. I respect the government because it&amp;rsquo;s a public good we all need, and it&amp;rsquo;s a hell of a lot better than the offerings next door. Would I have created the state? No. It&amp;rsquo;s here now, though, and the reality is that everyone&amp;rsquo;s best interest is to support it. I am not a Zionist. Non-Jews tend to use the word Zionist now as an insult when it was previously reserved for use by Chareidim (&amp;ldquo;ultra-orthodox&amp;rdquo; to the English news-readers) to reject the secularism and religious principles of the Zionist movement.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
