I've Been Thinking:

In certain circles, Israel bashing has become the fad.
The sad reality is that much of the bashing is done by American Jews who, although they truly love Israel, feel it incumbent upon themselves to critique her in order to force Israel towards change.

Today is Israel's Independence Day.
Israel is 62 years old.
And while Israel is imperfect, the world is a far improved place because Israel came into statehood in 1948.

Israel has graced the world with inventions and advances in computers, technology, medicine, science and telecommunications.
Israel has impacted upon the world through research and study in the fields of literature, philosophy, language, economics and history.
Israel has contributed great ideas in the areas of morals, ethics and the law.

Few societies in today's world can openly evaluate their accomplishments and take communal pride in knowing that they have changed the world for the better.

Those who love Israel and those who are bound to Israel share in her pride.
Happy Independence Day, Israel.
Happy 62nd Birthday.
