11. Israel's First 35 Years

11. Israel's First 35 Years The ancient prophet Jeremiah once excoriated those who cry "Peace," when there is no peace. But in the infant modern state of Israel, no one had even a delusion of peace. In the wake of Israel's 1948 War of Independence, the young nation continued to be beleaguered on every side. Yet, as we trace Israel's first thirty-five years, we should recall the words of Prime Minister Golda Meir: "We Jews have a secret weapon; we have nowhere else to go!"Dr. Kenneth Hanson, http://drkenhanson.com/
