On October 6, 1973, Egyptian and Syrian forces launched an attack on Israel to try and regain some of the territories that they lost during the Six Day War in 1967. The two Arab nations attacked when the Jewish people would be most vulnerable, Yom Kippur, also known as the holiest day in the Jewish religion. Because the Jewish people were busy celebrating their holiday, the Egyptian troops were able to take them by surprise and swept right through the Sinai Peninsula. However, Syria was having problems trying to get the Israeli troops out of the Golan Heights and taking over. They eventually did, but the Israelis launched a counterattack and were able to recapture the Golan Heights. Just two and a half weeks later, there was a cease-fire that
D day was June 6th in 1944. This was during World War II when the allied forces invaded or intruded a northern part of France in Normandy. They had spoken about it over the radio and all Jews were excited to hear such good news. D-day is recognized in the USA, but is not necessarily a all around celebrated holiday. Jewish people still do celebrate it in order to remember the horrific past of the war and the Jews to have survived it and those who died fighting.
In order to hopefully bring about the end of World War II, the Allied forces planned one of the most challenging attacks in history called D-Day. In military terms, the “D” in D-Day stands for the beginning of a significant operation on a selected day. The selected day, in this case, was Tuesday, June 6th, 1944. This battle was the largest amphibious day in world history. On this day, the Allied forces, England, the United States of America, the Soviet Union, France, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, and Yugoslavia, invaded Western Europe at five separate beachheads in Normandy, France, resulting in taking them from the German’s control. D-Day is one of the most significant days in history for many different reasons, one of which including how it
D-day, a day that will stay with us forever. June 6, 1944 more than 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing. But their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 soldiers to march to Europe and defeat Adolf Hitler’s troops. The terms D-day and H-hour are used for the day and hour when the attack happened, H-3 means three hours before H-hour, D+3 means three days after D-day. The United States allied troops invaded Normandy on the morning of June 5, Eisenhower gave the go ahead for Operation Overload. By days end on June 6 155,000 allied troops had successfully stormed Normandy’s beaches.
July 4, 1776 marked a very special day. A day that holds the future for many. The day that reminds us year after year up to this day and beyond that we shall never forget. How special you may ask? July 4th is known as the 4th of July. We celebrate this day with fireworks, parades, cookouts, camping, vacations, and more. What are we celebrating? We are celebrating the day America became free. The day our founding fathers adopted the Declaration of Independence. The day that 13 colonies claimed their independence from Great Britain.
June 6, 1944 was the most brutal slaughter of the second World War. The battle of D-Day had just surged the Normandy beaches of France, where the German front lay waiting a few hundred yards away from the beach. The Germans humped their brand new Mg-42s, The Mg-42 was considered to be the best Machine Guns shooting the fastest and the heaviest bullet ever discovered during World War ll (Overlord). D-Day was both a tragedy and a conquering day for the Allies.
Today is Thursday June 18, and thankfully I am feeling better after a whole week of sickness. Yesterday was a slow day I woke up late and did chores which I felt was a workout because by the time I was done I sweating like crazy. I felt that since my body was sick, my exertions felt twice as weak. Afterwards I just wanted to lay down in my bed and never get up but I decided since I was already sweaty I'd do more. So I got up and did some stretching, yo-ga, and some sit ups. Those I did to make-up a little for what I was missing.

The Battle of Normandy. Operation Overlord. The Longest Day. D-Day. The date June 6th, 1944 is acknowledged by many different names, by many different people, but it all comes down to one thing. That the biggest amphibious invasion of beaches, Codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, were very crucial in ending World War II. Approximately 156,000 allied soldiers landed all along these beaches and fought and died to liberate France. Sadly 4,413 allies died doing this. But to most this was worth it and everybody thanks the men for their sacrifice. Thanks to them, we didn’t have to see what could have happened if we didn’t proceed with the plan. Without the invasion we have no way of knowing how the war could have played out. It may have

There’s nothing quite like the summertime. For a lot of us the 4th of July is the highlight of the summer. Friends, family, food and fireworks can equal epic memories. Although we may be having the time of our lives, our pets do not always feel the same. In fact sometimes they can be downright terrified throughout the whole night.
Here's a fun 4th of July activity to do with your kids this weekend. My toddler loves to paint, color, and draw (outside the lines of course!) as most kids do. I wanted to find something creative to do with him for the 4th of July and thought something to do with fireworks would be perfect. I found this great idea from www.learning4kids.net/2015/12/27/painting-fireworks/ and couldn’t wait to give it a try.
Conflict in the Middle East has been prevalent for many years. The dispute between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is one that has yet to be resolved by the United Nations. Security Council Resolution 242 and 338 were presented in hopes of alleviating the situation. Security Council Resolution 242 established the principles that were to guide the negotiations for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement and "inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”. Security Council Resolution 338, adopted on October 22, 1973, called for a ceasefire in the Yom Kippur War, proposed jointly by the United States and the Soviet Union. The resolution demanded a ceasefire to take effect within twelve hours of the adoption of the resolution.
Last Thursday July 10, Martin Weiss decided not to fast on Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, in his forced labor camp with part of his family. Yom Kippur day is a day for the people to make amends for their sins to god, so they fast. In order to fast you must be 13 years or older and be in healthy condition. Weiss does not get enough food to grow as it is so his family and him decide not to fast, since they are not in healthy condition.
The whole crowd was excited and very proud. A song called “Hatikvah” was sung by many. The official creation of the state of Israel was declared by David Ben-Gurion. David Ben-Gurion was the prime minister at the time.War had broken out, and on May 13, danger struck Israel. An air attack was ordered on Tel Aviv. Many surrounding groups attacked Israel. These groups destroyed Jewish cities and defense forces. All of these events happened very close after independence was declared. The attack was most likely planned to provoke Israel right after they were excited to get their own homeland. It was a brutal attack to intimidate and show them how they did not approve of their presence. That year, in 1948, the “Arab-Israeli War” started. The Palestinian area was invaded by five other Arab countries practically immediately after Israel was announced. Some other countries included Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt. Around 30 million people attack Israel (The New York Times Upfront). An extraordinary amount of Palestinian Arabs were deported to other places. This was due to the war going on. Part of the motive for this war was that Jerusalem, an very religious area located in Israel, would be managed by the UN. Some Palestinian Arabs were angry and therefore war broke out. Fortunately, most of the fighting stopped in 1949. The bordering nations accepted armistice lines. The armistice lines lasted until 1967.
