Shaked: Better to be strong and criticized than weak and downtrodden
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked defends Israeli military policy on Memorial Day, saying it is better to be strong and criticized than weak and downtrodden.
“Memorial Day marks the assumption of responsibility for us,” Shaked says during a ceremony at the military cemetery in Petah Tikva.
“We will never place our safety in the hands of others,” she says. “It is better to be strong, even if criticized, than to be weak, pitiful and downtrodden.”
