I am an Israeli. Only 65 years ago, Jews were brought to death like Sheep to slaughter. NO country, NO army. Only 60 years ago, Seven Arab countries declared war on little Israel, the Jewish State, Just a few hours after it was established. We were 650,000 Jews against the rest of the Arab world. No IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) or Air Force. We were only a Small group of stubborn people with nowhere to go. Remember: Lebanon , Syria , Iraq , Jordan ,Egypt ,Libya , and Saudi Arabia, they all attacked at once. The state that the United Nations gave us was 65% desert. We started it from ZERO !!. Only 41 years ago, we fought three of the strongest countries in the Middle East, and we crushed them in the Six Day War. Over the years we fought different coalitions of Arab countries with modern armies and with huge amounts of Russian-Soviet ammunition, and we still won. Today we have a beautiful country, a powerful Army, a strong Air Force, an adequate Navy and a thriving high tech industry. Intel, Microsoft, and IBM have all developed their businesses here. Our doctors have won important prizes in the medical development field. We turned the desert into a prosperous land. We sell oranges, flowers, and vegetables around the world. We launched our own satellite! Three satellites at once! We are in good company; together with the USA (300 million Residents), Russia (220 million residents), China (1.3 Billion residents) and Europe ( France , England and Germany Over 100 million residents), we are one of the only countries in the World that have launched something into space! Israel today is among the few powerful countries that have Nuclear technology & capabilities. ( We will never admit it, But everyone knows.) To think that only 65 years ago we were disgraced and hopeless. We crawled out from the burning crematoriums of Europe . We won in all our wars. With a little bit of nothing we built an empire. We overcame the Greeks, the Romans, the Spanish Inquisition, the Russians pogrom, Hitler and the Holocaust, the armies of seven countries. So, we are not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing… Business here is beseder (fine). It can DEFINITELY be much better, But it is still fine. Dont pay attention to the nonsense in the media, They will not tell you about our festivals here in Israel or about the people that continue living, going out sometimes morale is down, so what? This is only because we are mourning the dead while they are celebrating spilled blood. And this is the reason we will win after all. So lets lift our heads up and be proud to say: I AM AN ISRAELI!!!
