I ka nānā ʻana i nā hanana hoʻolauleʻa no ka Lā Kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻIseraʻela, ʻōlelo ʻo Zaslansky, "E loaʻa iā mākou kahi hōʻike ola e kahi mea pena Israeli aʻu e hōʻike ʻole ai - he mea kaulana loa a ka ʻIseraʻela ma ka ʻōlelo Hebera. E loaʻa iā mākou ka meaʻai kaila Israeli, ka waina Israeli, [ka meaʻai meaʻai ʻIseraʻela] Bamba, a e loaʻa iā mākou ka lole pulupulu a hoʻāʻo e hana e like me ka ʻIseraʻela e like me kā mākou hiki.
Ma kahi o 300 mile mai Dubai a me 1,000 mile mai ʻIseraʻela, ua hoʻomākaukau ʻia kahi hoʻolauleʻa lā Independence ma Bahrain, kekahi o nā hoa pili aupuni hou loa o ka ʻIseraʻela.
ʻO ka hanana, i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hōʻike i kahi barbeque a me kahi hōʻike mele, ʻo ia ka lua o ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ke kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻIseraʻela i mālama ʻia ma ka ʻāina, ma lalo o ʻekolu mau makahiki ma hope o ka Israel a me Bahrain i normalized pili ma o ka US-mediated Abraham Accords.

Ua haʻi aku ʻo Ambassador Naʻeh i ka Media Line ua hoʻolālā ʻia kahi barbeque liʻiliʻi ma ka hale diplomatic no ka Pōʻakolu, ʻoiai e mālama ʻia kahi hoʻolauleʻa koʻikoʻi i ka hopena o Mei. E hōʻike ana kēlā hanana i nā meaʻai a me nā hula hula no nā haneli haneli.
"E hele mai nā malihini mai kahi papa inoa o nā pilina a mākou i kūkulu ai i ka makahiki a me ka hapa a mākou e noho nei. ʻO ke aupuni, ke kula, ka paʻi, nā poʻe ʻoihana he nui, nā hoaaloha, a me ka ʻIseraʻela e hele mai e hoʻolauleʻa pū me mākou, "wahi a Naʻeh.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Naʻeh ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pilina o Bahrain-Israel i loko o 2 ½ mau makahiki mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kona kūlana.
Ua ʻike ʻo ia he nui aʻe nā Bahrainis, ʻoi aku ka poʻe ʻoihana, ke kipa aku nei i ka ʻIseraʻela i ka makahiki i hala.

Ua hōʻike ʻo Naʻeh i ka manaʻolana no ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o nā ʻāina, ʻoi loa ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua.
“Hāʻawi ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ka naʻauao a ʻai i ka meaʻai a ʻai i ka moʻomeheu. Hoʻihoʻi nā kipa i nā hoʻomanaʻo a me nā kiʻi a kōkua i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ke kiʻi o kēlā me kēia ʻāina, "wahi āna.

Ua hana ʻo Bobby Rechnitz, mea hoʻomohala waiwai, i ke kālā hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka makahiki 75 o ka ʻIseraʻela ma ʻAmelika.

ʻIke ʻo ia i ka papahana kālā hoʻomanaʻo ma ke ʻano he ala ʻē aʻe e hoʻoulu ai i ka pilina US-Israel.
Ua waiho mua ʻia ka bila e noi ana e hoʻoili i ke kālā i ka US House of Representatives a e waiho koke ʻia i ka Senate, wahi a Rechnitz. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia he ʻelua a ʻekolu paha makahiki e hoʻokō ʻia ai ka papahana.
“Pono mākou i ʻae ʻia ʻelua hapakolu o ka Hale. Manaʻo mākou e loaʻa iā mākou. ʻO ka kickoff kēia ʻaina awakea a me ka hanana a mākou e hana nei ma ka ʻaha kūkā i kēia Pōʻalima, e hoʻomanaʻo ana iā Yom Haʻatzmaut, "wahi a Rechnitz, e pili ana i ka lā kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻIseraʻela ma kona inoa Hebera.
Ua weheweheʻo ia i ke kohoʻana o Golda Meir ma ke kuhikuhiʻana i kona kūlanaʻAmelika-i hānauʻia ma Ukraine, ua hoʻohanaʻo Meir i kona wā kamaliʻi a me kona wā'ōpiopio i ka US ma mua o ka neʻeʻana i kaʻIseraʻela-a me kona kūlana ma keʻano he poʻo wahine mua o ke aupuni.
“E hoʻomanaʻo ʻo [ʻo ia] ka ʻIseraʻela i ka makahiki 1960, ma mua o ka nui o nā neʻe kūʻokoʻa he alakaʻi wahine.
Manaʻo wau ʻo ka hōʻike ʻana i kēlā a ʻo ka ʻIseraʻela a he holomua a holomua hoʻi ka democracy i mea nui i ka manawa like me kēia, "wahi a Rechnitz.
Ma ka haʻi ʻana i ka haunaele i kēia manawa e pili ana i nā hoʻoponopono hoʻokolokolo i manaʻo ʻia, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rechnitz e hiki i kāna kālā ke hōʻailona i ka hui ʻana i ka wā e hoʻoweliweli ai ka politika e wāwahi i ka ʻāina.
"No ka moʻolelo nui mākou. Ke hui nei nā kānaka mai nā wahi a pau e kūkulu i kēia ʻāina nui. Pono mākou e ʻimi i nā papahana ʻē aʻe i pili ʻole a pili ʻole i ka politika i hiki iā mākou ke waiho i ko mākou naʻau a me ko mākou mau manaʻo ma hope, "wahi āna.

ʻO ka puke e pili ana i ka mālama ola kino, nā kulekele ʻē aʻe, ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokolokolo, ke kaʻina maluhia, a me nā pilina Diaspora-Israel.
ʻO ka mea kākau ʻAmelika-ʻIseraʻela ʻo Daniel Gordis, kaulana loa no kāna puke ʻO ka ʻIseraʻela: He moʻolelo pōkole o kahi lāhui i hānau hou ʻia, ua kamaʻilio me ka Media Line e pili ana i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i kahi lā nui o ke kūʻokoʻa i loko o kahi ʻano politika paʻakikī.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i nā kumu he nui e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka ʻIseraʻela ma kāna 75th lā hoʻomanaʻo: he hoʻokele waiwai nui, alakaʻi ʻenehana, maluhia me ka nui o kona mau hoalauna Arab, kahi pūʻali koa ikaika, a me ka heluna kanaka he 12 mau manawa i ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka ʻIseraʻela.
"Akā i nā mahina i hala iho nei, ua hiki mai ke aupuni hou me nā manaʻo illiberal hohonu," wahi a Gordis. "ʻO nā mea a pau a ka ʻIseraʻela i hoʻokō ai hiki ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia ʻo ka ʻIseraʻela e lilo i democracy iliberal a i ʻole democracy, inā e neʻe i mua nā hoʻoponopono hoʻokolokolo."
ʻO ka neʻe kūʻē kūʻē i nā hoʻoponopono hoʻokolokolo, i lawe ʻia i nā alanui i kēlā me kēia pō Pōʻaono no nā mahina ʻehā i hala aku nei, he kumu ia o ka manaolana a "he pahū o ke aloha i ka ʻāina," wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gordis i kāna puke hou ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hiki ʻole e wehe i nā nīnau no ke kumu i hoʻoholo ai ka poʻe Iudaio e hoʻokumu i kahi mokuʻāina a e ʻimi i ke ʻano o ka ʻāina a ʻaʻole i hoʻokō i kāna mau pahuhopu hoʻokumu.
