Summary: not only is it proper to remember and honor the veterans and members of the Israeli hagana, by standing and cheering with hand clapping, but also to remember the idea that they fought for.
we see the results of the hagana victory: Israeli cities with coexistence- between different races such as arabs and differing faiths.

The Israeli Hagana and Coexistence.
ts
We see the results of the victory of the Israeli Hagana: numerous cities in Israel with the coexistence of different races and faiths.
The israeli hagana acheived the victory of coexistence between jews and arabs in the jewish democratic state of Israel.
the hagana fought against the intolerance and violence of those in the organized arab-league and less-
organized terrorist groups- all who showed with their actions the severe intolerance that they would not tolerate Jews in "their" land. assume for a moment that the land claim would be accurate, the idea "no jews in our land" was in essence intolarence towards the jewish race. bad racism.
A moment has passsed.
returning to the subject: when we simplify the conflict and read about the "arab-israeli" conflict this term is misleading because the victory was a victory for COEXISTENCE.
the DEFEAT of the arab league does not mean that arabs cannot live in the jewish state- because the jewish state is jewish-democracy. in fact the races of jew and arab live side by side in the cities of Israel.
calling the conflict "an arab-israeli conflict" misleads people to think that the arabs were defeated when in fact coexistence of arabs with the jew was acheived.

Sadly the cities ruled by muslims have NOT ENCOURAGED coexistence with the non-musilm christians. numerous christians in cities such as bethlehem and jericho and others have fled from the oppression in the arab section- which has been a palestinian STATE recognized by many nations--
since 1988.
since 1988 they have a state- the arabs of 2016 whether hamas or not- are not fighting to "get" a state.
in fact since 1948 there has been a two-state solution- an arab state east of the jordan river and a tolerant jewish democratic state on the west of that river.
those who want two states- as if that is not the situation since 1948?
an arab state and a jewish democratic state. if only the arab state called jordan would tolerate jews in its parliament...
the two sides in the 1948 conflict were:
on one side: coexistence represented by hagana-
fighting for freedom for all races-
which was achieved-
hence from the cease-fires of 1949 in Israel, cities include jew and arab hence the victory of hagana in defeating the arab league was actually a "victory for jew and arab races for coexistence and tolerance".
the victory was over the intolerance of the arab league which refused to tolerate jews and fought AGAINST coexistence. racism- represented by the intolarent arab league- was the second side of the violent conflict which was defeated. for example the arab league openly resisted jewish migration- in essence the jewish return to their home from ancient times- and used violence in "cold blooded murder" in contrast to life saving violence to stop murderers.
when the arab league was defeated- the intolerance was defeated and the victory of the hagana was a victory allowing the coexistence of races and faiths that we see today in the cities of israel.
===
the Israeli hagana and its allies acheived a victory for TOLERANCE and coexistence in the years 1948-1949.
when we honor the members of the hagana and the organization- we must remember the unique situation. the hagana's violence was aimed at the goal of a jewish-democratic state insuring coexistence-
and was REQUIRED needed in response to the situation-
at that time when organized arab-league and less organized terrrorists were shooting to murder in cold blood people citizens. there are rules for when to shoot- in order to save lives and these rules were violated by the arab-league with its lack of tolerance for the jew, by firing weapons on people who were no "immediate threat of life" and the hagana responded to this need with life-saving violence to stop the murderers who fired weapons at helpless unarmed civilians.

Appendix
NOT HONORING TERRORISTS
In a totally different category are those of hezbolla-
the arab gulf states and the arab-league of this generatoin 2016 has declared hezbolla terrorist- "evil wicked terrorist organization- because the violence of hezbolla is the "evil" kind. to honor a terrorist or a murderer is bad and wicked.
for more information
and
so when we hear about hezbolla fighting to help keep the "president" of syria in power- we should not forget the cruel things that president assad has done to the citizens of syria- and also know "who" is the one helping him.
