The Israel Derangement Syndrome Crew is using this as some kind of an excuse that Israel is not as good of an ally because the only thing these people have is there, Israel, hatred for no reason. So I did some research. The U.S. Embassy in Japan⁠ promoted a July 3 event inviting people to watch the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, and the Tokyo Aqua Symphony illuminated in red, white, and blue and encouraged people to share photos. This was actually part of a shared initiative between Japan and the US Embassy. It was not done by Japan alone. It was a cooperative effort. Israel in coordination with the US did the following to commemorate 250: - Isaac Herzog visited the United States Embassy Jerusalem and personally delivered a congratulatory letter to President Trump and the American people. He spoke about the close U.S.-Israel alliance and shared democratic values. - The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem's Freedom 250 program⁠ has been hosting commemorative events tied to America’s 250th anniversary. Those who want more details can go to our embassy websites in Israel. - The National Library of Israel held exhibitions, concerts, and panel discussions celebrating the 250th anniversary and highlighting the historical relationship between the United States and Israel. Again for those who actually care about that information feel free to go to the Embassy website and look at it. For those that simply need a way to vilify Israel with lies you’re not gonna do it anyway because you really don’t care about any of this you just wanna make stuff up. And for those who are braindead… Israel is operating under an ongoing security environment. Large public celebrations have been scaled back or altered repeatedly since October 2023 because of the wars and security situation. Even unrelated cultural events have often been modified for security reasons.
