Israel's Indomitable Spirit, Part II

My last post was about Israel's indomitable spirit.

I came across the following true story and video that demonstrates this point.

Last Tuesday, a vociferous and angry pro-Arab demonstration gathered outside of the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles.  Daniel Pereg, a high school student, showed up on the scene, by himself, proudly waving an Israeli flag to show his solidarity with Israel and the IDF.  The pro-Arab demonstration became incensed, angrier, and close to violence.  Yet Daniel bravely persisted to march around with his flag, pretending to be oblivious of the demonstration's growing anger and excitement.

When asked why he was there, he responds: "I came out because I want to defend Israel." Again, here is a young teenager, defiant to the world with his faith and conviction in the Jewish people and the country of Israel.
