Parting Words: The Israel Prison Service's Powerful Wristbands for Released Terrorists

Each wristband is individually labeled with the terrorist's name and identity number, reinforcing the personal responsibility Israel takes in the fight against terror. The bands carry an important message, written in both Hebrew and Arabic: “The eternal nation does not forget.” This is a paraphrase of a well-known Israeli proverb, “The eternal nation is not afraid of a long journey,” which speaks to the resilience of the Jewish people in the face of adversity and the lengths they are willing to go to in order to secure peace and justice.

At the heart of the wristband is a quote from Psalms 18:38, where King David declares: "I will pursue my enemies and overtake them." This verse, also echoed in Samuel II 22:38, reflects the relentless pursuit of justice and victory, qualities that are deeply ingrained in Israel's national ethos. The inscription serves as a reminder of the strength of the Israeli people and their determination to protect their citizens and secure a lasting peace.

The wristbands have been prominently displayed in social media videos during the release celebrations of these terrorists, providing a visual representation of Israel’s resolve and the government’s determination to bring home hostages while upholding the nation’s values.

A statement from the Israel Prison Service emphasized that these wristbands are a part of the larger Operation "Wings of Freedom," a decision made by Israel’s political echelon to secure the release of hostages. The message on each band reinforces Israel’s core principles: perseverance, justice, and an unwavering commitment to its people.

While some may view the release of terrorists as controversial, the message on these wristbands is unmistakable: Israel will never forget the victims of terror, and it will pursue justice with an unrelenting resolve. The wristbands serve not only as a symbol of the nation’s resilience but as a testament to the lengths Israel will go to secure the safety and well-being of its citizens, ensuring that peace is achieved on its terms.
