I was there too, speaking about the Israeli miracle and how Israel went from growing oranges in 1977 to being one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. I chose 1977 as the starting point because a) thats when I arrived to Israel as a child :-); b) Israel was only 29 years old, not much older than Georgia in 2012; c) this was only four years after the trauma of the Yom Kippur war; and d) in 1977 Israel went through the first democratic transition in its history after 29 years of an effective one party rule by MAPAI. Sounds familiar, hey?
