Israel
I drew two soldiers holding the flag of Israel, a war plane, the symbol of hostages, birds and wrote Am Israel Jai above because I think that, Am Israel jai le tamid, Israel will live forever. The soldiers are holding the flag to say that the people of Israel must be united to live, united just as the soldiers are united to the flag. In my drawing there are two soldiers who represent the Israeli army that defends us and helps us, but not only our country but also helps other countries when they need it, if there is an earthquake in another country or another problem Israel always helps. Israel today represents in the world the value of helping others. With my drawing I want to say how great the Israeli army is that helps its country and every country that needs help. Israel is a good and beautiful country. When I saw the photo of Female soldiers march in independence 1950, I thought about how important Israel's soldiers are.
