Originalהרימו את הראש והניפו את הדגל: פורום הגבורה בקריאה מרגשת לציבור | צפו לקראת ציון יום הזיכרון הלאומי למלחמת חרבות ברזל, מפרסם "פורום הגבורה" – המאגד משפחות שכולות של לוחמי צה"ל – קריאה מיוחדת לכל אזרחי ישראל: להניף את דגל ישראל בכל מקום כאות זיכרון לנופלים והבעת תמיכה בחיילי צה"ל הנמצאים בשטח. בסרטון מרגש שמפרסם הפורום לקראת מלאות שלוש שנים למלחמה, קוראות המשפחות השכולות לציבור לבחור בגאווה ובתקווה כערכים מרכזיים ביום הזיכרון הזה. "עם ישראל היקר, לקראת שלוש שנים למלחמה, הרימו את הראש, הניפו את הדגל," אומר איציק פיטוסי, ממלא מקום יו"ר פורום הגבורה, בקריאתו לציבור. "היו גאים בעם, במדינה, בגיבורים ובגיבורות שמסרו את נפשם, בחיילינו שנמצאים בשטח. עם ישראל חי ואנחנו ננצח". בפורום שואפים להפוך את הנפת דגל ישראל לאחד מסמלי הבולטים של יום הזיכרון, כדרך לחבר בין הכאב העמוק על אובדן יקיריהם לבין תעצומות הנפש והאמונה בעוצמתו של העם ובניצחון המערכה.

  • Heroism Forum calls for flying Israeli flags on remembrance day.
  • The initiative honors fallen soldiers and supports active troops.
  • Bereaved families encourage pride and hope for the nation.
  • The call comes ahead of the war's three-year mark.
  • The forum seeks to make flag-flying a key remembrance symbol.

Ahead of the national day of remembrance for the Swords of Iron War, the Heroism Forum, an organization representing bereaved families of fallen IDF soldiers, has issued a special call to all Israeli citizens. The forum is urging the public to fly the Israeli flag everywhere as a symbol of remembrance for the fallen and as an expression of support for IDF soldiers currently in the field.

In a moving video released by the forum as the war approaches its three-year mark, bereaved families encourage the public to embrace pride and hope as central values for this remembrance day. "Dear people of Israel, as we approach three years of war, lift your heads, wave the flag," stated Itzik Pitosi, Acting Chairman of the Heroism Forum, in his appeal to the public. "Be proud of the nation, the state, the heroes and heroines who gave their lives, and of our soldiers who are in the field. The people of Israel live, and we will win."

The forum aims to establish the flying of the Israeli flag as a prominent symbol of the remembrance day, connecting the deep pain of losing loved ones with the resilience of the spirit and faith in the nation's strength and the war's eventual victory.
