The father of Ziv Mizrahi delivers an angry and defiant eulogy at his son’s funeral, comparing the fatal stabbing Monday to the death of his brother, who was killed while trying to thwart a suicide bomber 12 years ago.

“Erase the memory of all the Arabs. The nation of Israel lives and they won’t break us,” he says, according to Israel National News.

Private Ziv Mizrahi, an 18-year-old IDF soldier from Givat Ze'ev, was killed in a stabbing attack at a West Bank gas station on November 23, 2015 (screen capture: Channel 2) — Private Ziv Mizrahi, an 18-year-old IDF soldier from Givat Ze’ev, was killed in a stabbing attack at a West Bank gas station on November 23, 2015 (screen capture: Channel 2)

“I am going to sit shiva and go back to work. They won’t break us. I thought i had finished with this after I mourned my brother years ago, but he didn’t die for nothing, he exploded along with the terrorist and prevented more casualties. So, also my Ziv was not just stabbed in the back for nothing, he shot and saved his commander. We are a strong family and will go on. Am Yisrael Chai.”
