Diplomatic career Khaldi began working for the Israeli Foreign Ministry in 2004 and In June 2006, he was appointed to serve in San Francisco, USA.

On Tuesday he visited Edith Cowan University and met with Bill Allen, Senior Lecturer in the School of Education.
The Partisans’ Song was translated by Ishmael into Arabic:
Translated by Ishmael Khaldi
The Partisans’ Song = نشيد الانصار
Never say that there is only death for you = لا تقل هذه طريقي الأخيرة
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue= على الرغم من ان السماء الرصاصية ربما تخفي اياما زرقاء
Because the hour we have hungered for is near; =لان الساعة التي انتظرناها – قريبه
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble — we are here! = تحت اقدامنا تهز الأرض – نحن هنا
From land of palm tree to the far-off land of snow, = من ارض جبل النخيل – الى بلاد الثلج البعيدة
We shall be coming with our torment and our woe; =سوف نأتي بآلامنا وحزننا
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth, = وفي كل مكان روت الأرض من دماءنا
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth. =لتزهر شجاعتنا وقوتنا
We’ll have the morning sun to set our day aglow=شمس الصباح ستضوي يومنا
d all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe; =وامسنا ستختفي مع العدو.
And if the time is long before the sun appears, = وإذا كان الوقت طويلاً قبل ظهور الشمس ،
Then let this song go like a signal through the years. = اذا دع هذه الأغنية تكن إشارة عبر السنين.
This song was written with blood and not with lead; = كتبت هذه الأغنية بالدم وليس بالرصاص ؛
It’s not a song that summer birds sing overhead; = إنها ليست أغنية تغنيها الطيور الصيف ؛
It was a people among toppling barricades, = كان الناس مع الحواجز المنهاره ،
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades. = الذين نشدو أغنيتنا بمسدسات وقنابل.
Never say that there is only death for you, = لا تقل أبداً أن هناك ل موتًا فقط ،
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue, = على الرغم من أن السماء الرصاصيهعلى قد تخفي أيامًا زرقاء ،
Because the hour we have hungered for is near; = لأن الساعة التي انتظرناها تقترب ؛
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble—we are here! =تحت باطننا ترتعش الأرض- نحن هنا!

A Project For Your School Recite or sing the Partisans’ Song in your home tongue, or in a language you have learnt. Make a video, which can be as creative as you wish or just a simple recording. For the poem, each verse is made up of four lines. For the song, the last two lines in each verse are repeated.
I am pleased to advise that today, on Yom Hashoah 2019, we have added a Mongolian translation of the Partisans’ Song, Zog Nit Keynmol.
Thanks to Michael Anderson and his daughter Saskia for arranging this translation by Mongolian academic, Zandan Bilegt.
We now have the song in the original Yiddish, and 27 language translations on our website. Schools around the world, including World ORT schools, learn and sing the song.

The background and context The ‘Partisans’ Song’ – Zog Nit Kein Mol–written by Hirsch Glik, 22, in the Vilna Ghetto in 1943 is one of the most powerful songs of resistance and defiance ever written. While Hitler boasted that his Reich would endure for a thousand years, it is the Jewish people who resisted the forces of hatred and have endured, not the murderous Third Reich, which lasted twelve years. Today, 75 years on, long after the demise of Hitler’s murderous regime, the partisans’ song is now sung worldwide to mark the Jewish spirit of resistance. (Michael Cohen, Melbourne)

PARTISAN SONG – MONGOLIAN TRANSLATION BY ZANDAN BILEGT
Бүрхэг тэнгэр зовлонт ирээдүйг зөгнөх мэт санагдавч
Бүхний төгсгөлд ирлээ гэж хэзээ ч бүү хэл.
Хүсэн хүлээсэн цаг чинь ирнэ,
Бид ирлээ хэмээн цэрэг бидний алхаа аянга мэт нүргэнэ.
Наргил модны нутгаас цаст уулсын нутагт
Гуниг ганихралаа тээн бид чинь ирлээ.
Бидний цус урссан газар бүр
Эрэлхэг дайчин сүнс маань орших болно.
Мандах нарны алтан туяа нулимсыг маань эгшээж,
Өнгөрсөн жилүүдийн гашуун дурсамжийг мартагнуулна.
Нар мандах цаг мөдгүй бол
Энэ дуу минь сайныг зөгнөн эгшиглэг.
Энэ дуу тугалгаар бус цусаар маань бичигдсэн,
Энэ дуу шувуудын жиргэдэг дуу биш,
Энэ дууг бүрээн дуунаар буу агсан,
Нурж буй багануудын дунд дуулж байсан юм.
Тиймээс хэдий бүрхэг тэнгэр зовлонт ирээдүйг зөгнөвч
Бүхний төгсгөл ирлээ гэж хэзээ ч бүү хэл.
Бидний хүсэн хүлээсэн цаг ойртсон,
Цэрэг бидний алхаан дор газар доргих болно. Бид ирлээ!
