The eve of Memorial Day for the dead of Israel's wars and the victims of hostilities is one of the most significant days in the calendar of the State of Israel. Precisely on this evening, a joint remembrance ceremony was held for Israelis and Palestinians, by the Bereaved Families Forum. The event was held at 32 Magginim St., in the offices of the "Together" organization.
Alongside the event at the offices of the "Together" organization, other screenings were also held in Israel and abroad.

The claim of those who oppose the event is that there is an attempt to compare the pain on the Israeli and Palestinian sides.
The words of Yaniv Ben Shoshan
On the other hand, the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum emphasizes every time that the organization has families of Palestinians who were killed even though they were not involved in activities against Israel. They further claim that the way to move forward is by getting to know the other side and finding common ground in order to reach a better life for us and for them.
The words of Oded Rotem from the Standing together movement
Yuval Rahamim, co-director of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum:
"This year we are holding a screening in several cities of a ceremony of the Joint Remembrance Day, hundreds of screening centers throughout the country. Everyone who screens receives materials to have a conversation after the ceremony. The event is in a closed place, but it is not done outside the city and no one is required to participate in it. The event is not Broadcasted on TV. Many people in Israel feel that there will be no more victims. This year, because of logistics, it was decided to broadcast it in many places. Every year there is an attempt to disturb. But this year there are screenings in many places.
The event took place two weeks after the fundraising event for Gaza children, which was stopped in the middle by municipal employees, because there was no license to hold the fundraiser. The fundraising event also provoked a lot of anger from protesters, who claimed that during a war after the events of October 7, it was impossible to show mercy to the residents of Gaza.
Councilor Eli Ben Dayan: How can we compare what we went through on the seventh of October with the elimination of terrorists and the war on terror?
Council member Eli Ben Dayan addressed an urgent query to Mayor Yona Yahav, which read, among other things: "I was amazed to see that on the holiest day for the bereaved families of IDF martyrs and war victims, a joint commemorative event for both nations is being held in Haifa.
The announcement of the event states that the pain of both nations is authentic.
So really, really not. As I recall, from October 7th we are in a bloody campaign which has taken and continues to cost victims, soldiers and female soldiers who are the heroes of Israel falling for our security, residents displaced from their homes and of course our precious hostages and hostages are still being held by the new Nazism in the form of Hamas.
The campaign is still underway! But in Haifa they are holding a memorial event for those families of terrorists and residents of Gaza who supported the massacre?
How can you even compare the endless pain of the bereaved families and the families of the abductees to the families of the bloodthirsty terrorists?
How can we compare what we went through on the seventh of October when Israeli citizens were slaughtered, burned, raped and physically and mentally tortured with the elimination of terrorists and the war on terror?"
We have to know the Palestinians' narrative about the conflict and the Palestinians have to know the Zionist narrative, we don't have to agree, but we have to.
Jewish traitors are simply the most disgusting. Progressive leftists with mental illnesses who are not connected to reality
Anyone who thinks about having a joint ceremony; The Arabs and the Jews do not understand what it means for the Arabs. Comparing their sacrifices to ours. There is absolutely nothing in common. There is the opposite
Quite the opposite. The Arabs fought against the Jews. Even before the establishment of the state. There were riots in Haifa. My grandmother was murdered, the first woman murdered in the Haifa events. She lives next door to Arabs. And the one who murdered her was a neighboring Arab. The Arabs set out against the immigration of Jews to Israel and set out to destroy every Jewish section. They wanted to undermine their security and the goal of the Arabs to expel the Jews. Anyone today who thinks of having a joint memorial service does not understand the events we have gone through. We fought for the country and they, the Arabs who lived here, murdered the Jews, they did not want the Jews. So how is it possible to hold a joint ceremony that has nothing in common. Everyone who is with them please leave us to live our lives without destroying everything we have built. cannot be destroyed. The State of Israel is the State of the Jews. Remembering that they will not agree that our country is Israel and not Palestine is the dream of the Arabs. It's all psychological as soon as they participate in the ceremony they succeed little by little and as soon as you hold a joint ceremony they only make a wish that they are on the way to the state of Palestine. You are hurting everyone who fights here. You and I and all of us will live in the only country in the whole world, the Jewish state. The whole dream of the local Arabs that Israel is Palestine is not absolute! We will not recognize all Palestinian deaths. Because they fought against us against the State of Israel, what a contrast you don't perceive. In this way we strengthen the Arabs as soon as we really believe it. They strengthen their belief that Israel is Palestine. I ask that everyone who participates in their rituals out of naivety only hurts us. . We must enact a law, every Jew who participates in these rituals only harms and sabotages the State of Israel.
That is why it is not his place to expel him from the country because he appreciates what we went through and why the Arabs against the Jews were killed in the atrocities on the land.
Because he does not appreciate what the Jewish state is for us. And I don't understand. What's the difference that here is the state of Palestine. The Arabs of the country fought for it in their homeland, that here is Palestine. Wake up! expel them from the country. Gantz I heard it was their ritual, what hypocrisy and they still want him as prime minister, imagine like a torch returning territories. In the end, we will not have a state left. In the end, it will be called a national state. Oh my God, it is planned, there are terrorists. The destruction of the State of Israel is really scary.
the meaning
Until a year ago, even in the surrounding kibbutzim, they held this delusional ritual. Yes, in Kfar_Gaza. Benir_am and more. In the end they found out that they were all the time on the target of the rifle of the participants from Gaza! Yes, yes, and the guest of honor was none other than Bnei Gantz! Exactly one year after he finished his term as IDF Chief of Staff. Despicable and despicable people par_excellence traitors!
The extreme and despicable left allows the stupid behavior of people with no moral backbone. The fact that there are people who make mistakes and go astray, especially those who belong to a whole family, I am ready to forgive them and I also personally know such people. But the sane majority must take control of the event and not allow them to hold stupid ceremonies.
shameful. To show respect for the 'pain' of the Hamasniks after October 7th.
Understanding….you laughed.
You still don't understand who we are dealing with?
There is no way to describe the disgust and anger at this disgrace.
The comments here are angry and rightly so, but where were you angry keyboard heroes and why didn't you come out and demonstrate? Only a small handful of people, who really care, leave the house to warn again and again that Haifa is a city in the State of Israel, the State of the Jews. By the way, did you notice how Mr. Yona Yahav... did not fill the city of flags.
Fifth brother-in-law Hamasniks. Have you already licked the enemy today? You are not Jewish. What are you doing here in Israel? What is your connection here at all?
Go to atonement for the IDF soldiers who are wretched souls.
Also financed by the new fund and Soros funds.
Until this snake's head is cut off, we will continue to suffer from internal incitement terrorism by Satan's messengers who receive funding from foreign countries for internal terrorism of all kinds.
Poor Jews. At the first opportunity, their beautiful and beautiful Arab friends will also slaughter and burn "those who stand together"
In my opinion, there is no place to hold donations in Israel for the residents of Gaza. Not least to hold a joint memorial evening for the murdered on the Jewish side and the murderers who were killed on the Palestinian side.
Wretched Jews contain the pain of those who caused us terrible pain for no reason and now have to contain them? When there is no brain nothing will help.
The term 'Jews' is unnecessary and derogatory.
disgrace
How do you even compare our dear fallen who died defending the people and the country.
And those suffering Nazi terrorists and their supporters.
Such activity should be prohibited on one of the holiest and most sensitive days for the people of Israel.
The hallucination
But this is a loophole in my opinion that the law allows and the legislator should legislate and enforce the prevention of incidents of mention of the Palestinian enemy.
It's a shame that you even upload such content..
You are disrespecting your site
Instead of trying to compare our grief and that of the Palestinians, it is better that we work to prevent the continuation of the situation of mutual hatred.
Back in 1956, the Chief of Staff at the time, Moshe Dayan, saw the future. He made it clear to us that our lives in Israel would be with a rifle in hand and a bullet in the barrel... "We are the generation of settlers, and without the steel cap and cannon muzzle we will not be able to plant a tree and build a house. Our children won't have a life if we don't dig shelters, and without a barbed wire fence and a machine gun we won't be able to pave a road and drill for water."
Their hatred is unchangeable with the anti-Israeli and Jewish brainwashing they undergo from the age of zero.
It was enough to see the crowd in Gaza consuming its rage at the kidnapped and to remember the lynching in Ramallah.
mutuality? understanding? Never. It is an enemy and must be treated as such
Maybe we'll also celebrate Independence Day together?
oh no For them it is not a celebration
shame
disgrace
Where is Yona Yahav mayor of Hamas together with his council members
shame shame
