Happy Independence Day, Israel!

See this old version of Hatikvah. Pretty beautiful!

It's good that it doesn't say Chofshi. The Leftists don't know what Chofshi means in real Hebrew.

Original poem said "Lashuv l'Eretz Aboteinu" (to return to the Land of Our Fathers), the new version says "Lihyot 'Am Chofshi Be'Artzeinu" (to be a free Nation in our Land). New lyrics is more accurate because not all Jews needed to return (many were still there) and now, most exilees already have returned. But what do leftists undersatnd by "Chofshi". I don't speak Hebrew. But I have always understood it as "free".
