WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration has told Israeli and Palestinian leaders they will need to show progress in their secret talks soon, or risk a potentially fatal erosion in public support for a process now in its sixth month without any obvious successes. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice passed that message during meetings with both [...]

Israel at 60 is as prosperous as it has ever been, but not without challengesThis weekend Israel celebrates its 60th year of independence. Since 14.5.1948 this small country in the heart of the Middle East has turned from an agricultural based economy into a full blown economic wonder and success story.I chose to review Israel economic success through this list of little known facts and figures which, unfortunately, hardly ever make it to the news. The list will be divided in to Geography and Government, Economic Review, High-Tech Industry, Education, the Stock Market and Challenges.Geography and Government1. Israel has a very small land area of approximately 8,500 sq. miles (vs. 3,794,100 sq. miles of the US).2. Israel is a representative democracy with a parliamentary system.3. Israel’

ISRAELS NATIONALDAG - 8 maj eller 14 maj? Enligt den hebreiska kalendern firas Israels självständighetsdag den 5 Iyar, som är det datum då staten Israel tillkom. Detta datum infaller i år på sabbaten varför firandet flyttats till 3 Iyar, torsdagen den 8 maj. Enligt den gregorianska kalendern firas dagen i övriga världen 14 maj. AMBASSADÖR EVIATAR MANOR skriver om Israels historia, demokrati, folk och land bl.a.: ISRAELER är ett passionerat, kreativt och optimistiskt folk och vi känner stolthet över vad vi lyckats skapa dessa 60 år som gått. Det är utifrån dessa kvaliteter som en fredlig, stabil och framgångsrik framtid kan födas för hela Mellanöstern. En framtid jag inte tror ligger långt fram i tiden. H.M.

Today, Israelis are celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of their state. It is a remarkable success story that Israel has survived war to become a robust democracy in the heart of the Middle East (and some of its problems). There are still uncertainties about its future relations with its neighbours and the status of the Palestinian people, but the uncertainties of survival in 1948 have largely been resolved. Even the formerly unrelenting hostility of its neighbours is beginning to wane and there is at least an idea of how peace may finally by brought to Israel and Palestine.The sixtieth anniversary of this remarkable state is worth celebrating. Norman Geras lists some of the good reasons for celebrating Israel at sixty. After the horrors of the Holocaust and the continuing

I was just reading a story on Yahoo News, by Steve Gutkin, an Associated Press Writer, concerning the celebration in Israel of their 60th birthday. Here is wishing Israel, and our Jewish friends, a Happy 60th Birthday, and May the Wish for Peace, be fulfilled before another 60 years passes!   Israel staged its 60th birthday bash with fireworks, air force flyovers and a great sense of pride Thursday, but also with uncertainty about its future and doubts about prospects for peace with the Palestinians.   Across the country, Israelis held barbecues in backyards and public parks, and were entertained by naval parades and a Bible quiz. But a celebratory parachute jump over Tel Aviv injured three spectators after a parachutist crashed into a crowd.   Israel at 60 is a paradox of

 If one were to replace "Republic of South Africa" with the "State of Israel," the rest should apply just as strongly. Israel today -- 60 years after its establishment through a deliberate and systemic process of ethnic cleansing of a large majority of the indigenous Palestinian population (for an authoritative historical account of the "birth" of Israel, refer to Ilan Pappe's The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine) -- still practices racial discrimination against its own "non-Jewish" citizens; it still maintains the longest military occupation in modern history; it still denies Palestinian refugees -- uprooted, dispossessed and expelled by Zionists over the last six decades -- their internationally-recognized right to return to their homes and properties; and it still commits wa

By the start of 2007, reports about major upgrades to the Syrian military, including advances in missile technology, with Iranian help were widespread in Israel. The impression of an imminent war existed across much of the Middle East. Syria, Hezbollah, and Iran were reported in Israel to be preparing for a war to spark in the Levant.   It was also claimed in Israel that Damascus had sent secret messages to Tel Aviv that should Israel continue to reject Syria's peace overtures, a war would breakout in the Golan Heights and that Syrian reservists were forbidden from leaving Syria because of the possibility of combat. In June, 2007, an inner circle of the Israeli government that would form a "war cabinet" in a Middle Eastern war scenario was categorically informed that a war

60 años de proclamación del Estado de Israel. La creación de Israel fue aprobada por las Naciones Unidas el 29 de noviembre de 1947, en la llamada Resolución de Partición de Palestina, que puso fin al Mandato británico en esta región del mundo y que satisfacía la propuesta del movimiento sionista de dar un hogar nacional al pueblo judío. Rechazada la resolución por los árabes y aprobada por los judíos, el padre fundador de Israel, David Ben Gurión, declaró la independencia el 14 de mayo de 1948, día en que oficialmente concluía el mandato británico. Israelíes y palestinos negocian sobre la base de dos Estados para dos pueblos desde la conferencia de Annapolis de noviembre de 2007, con la esperanza de alcanzar un acuerdo a finales de este mismo año.

The basic parameters of any peace deal between Israel and Syria have been clear for years. Israel wants diplomatic relations and an end to Syria acting as a sponsor of terror and a key ally of Iran. Syria wants the return of the Golan Heights as well as international recognition and financial aid from the West to prop up its economy.The strategically important Golan, with little biblical significance for Israel and whose settlers are less than hard-line, would become a demilitarised zone to prevent the attacks on the Galil that were rampant before it was captured in the 1967 Six-Day War. Syria has indicated its agreement to Israel keeping early-warning stations on the Golan and part of it remaining under Israeli control on a long-term lease or as a nature reserve.At least five Is

Many Arabs believe Independence Day actually marks their own Naqba, and commemorate it as such.The ruling was given on Thursday after the authorities of the Arab town of Kfar Kana refused to allow the ceremony, claiming it was political in nature. The court rejected this claim, and the anti-Israel ceremony will be held on Israel's actual Independence Day in the Kfar Kana stadium.----------ref:

April 28, YahooDUBAI (Reuters) - The Syrian site Israel bombed in September was not part of a nuclear weapons program, but was a military facility under construction, President Bashar al-Assad said in remarks published on Sunday.ADVERTISEMENTLast week, Washington released intelligence alleging Syria had built a nuclear reactor with North Korean help before an Israeli air strike destroyed the facility on September 6."Is it logical? A nuclear site did not have protection with surface to air defenses? A nuclear site within the footprint of satellites in the middle of Syria in an open area in the desert?"

According to reports, Israel will be outfitting its airliners with defense systems designed to thwart missile attacks. The defense will probably be a system with flares, designed to distract an incoming missile's heat-seeking mechanism. It will be installed first on planes flying to destinations considered dangerous, i.e Africa and parts of Asia. The need for a missile defense system was recognized in 2002, when an Israeli passenger jet was targeted after takeoff by Islamic militants using shoulder-fired missiles outside Mombasa, Kenya. The rockets missed, but spurred Israel to find a way to protect its airliners with a defense similar to that already used by its air force.

Those passages have been on my mind lately. I've certainly seen it prove true in my time on this spinning rock. People will do all kinds of sinful, wrong things and find ways to feel justified or even at peace about those things. I guess we could call it compartmentalized thinking or even sociopathic. But it's more of a journey than that.It's interesting that, as I said in another article, I recall learning in a sales training session that people buy things based on their emotions.
