"Am Yisrael Chai" is a Jewish solidarity anthem and widely used expression of Jewish people hood and an affirmation of the continuity of the Jewish people.

For those who don't know.

It's important today. Of all days.

Am Yisrael Chai.
The people of Israel live.

I think showing solidarity with an affirmation of Jewish continuity is appropriate today .

According to Wiki re its contemporary use - “The song and its core phrase widely became a defiant expression and affirmation of Jewish continuity, especially during times of war and heightened antisemitism.”

Yes, I am part Jewish. I think it might be helpful for you to amend the title and the opening post to say that this thread is just for remembrance.

I didn't start this thread. I see no reason for the OP to change the title. It is quite obvious what the thread is about and if you are part Jewish you would understand what Am Yisroel Chai signifies today.

Thinking today of all the victims of that horrendous, unthinkable terrorist attack and of all the hostages taken, and their families and friends. 🕯️

Am Yisrael Chai.
Thinking of my friends and family in Israel today and every day.
Bring the hostages home.

@gettheetothinehome thanks for the suggestion but I am not amending the title. It's there for a specific reason.

And the people.of Gaza?

Tell me, do you go to Palestinian marches with a banner of the hostages saying ‘bring them home now’ ? You know, being as you appear so keen to always remember the other side too?

Or is it only Jewish people who need to always have their suffering minimised and turned away from in favor of others?

So do tell, are you really a great humanitarian who always has to hold in mind both sides, or are you just an anti-Semite?

Sending love on this painful day. ❤️

Am Yisrael Chai.

But I responded to a particular post. I am having to sit on my hands about some of these responses. If you want this to be rememberance, I understand and as I said I have deleted my posts, or asked them to be. I think you should now focus on the this thread as rememberance and not as a chance to try to start arguments.

I am not trying to start an argument. That is quite the last thing I would want on a thread like this, out of respect for the Jewish people on here, and the circumstances of October 7th.
So I think it's best we leave it at that.

Yes, I think so. I didn't even know what the thread title meant, but I worked it out because of the date.

There are countless threads on this subject and you can write this on one of them.
Please leave us alone just for one day to mourn the largest pogrom suffered by Jewish people since the Holocaust.
