There can be little doubt when, 500 or 1,000 years
from now, the history of the world will be written, that the creation
and the development of the State of Israel will be considered one of the
proudest and most shining successes. Now, as Israel's 65th birthday has
just been celebrated, it is a good time, in our own day, to review what

What are the facts?
The Birth of a Nation: he State
of Israel was born out of the ashes of the Nazi Holocaust, probably the
most horrible crime in the blood-stained history of mankind. The "yishuv,"
(the Jewish population of the country) consisted of barely 400,000
people. On the very day of its birth Israel was invaded by the armies of
five neighboring Arab states. Almost miraculously, the vastly
outnumbered and outgunned Jewish forces managed to overcome the combined
Arab might. But they paid a horrendous price for their victory. More
than 6,000 combatants and civilians perished in that War of
Independence. It was as if the United States were to lose over 6 million
people in combat. But the War of Independence was not the only one that
Israel's implacable enemies foisted on it. There was, perhaps most
importantly, the 1967 Six-Day War, in which Israel gained a spectacular
victory, which will be studied and analyzed in military academies of the
world until the end of time.
