Happy Birthday, Dear Israel

Israel turned 60 last night / this morning.

The BBC has a feature here and Mark Steyn has a forceful piece here.

No prizes for guessing the tenor taken by those at the respective links, or for guessing which I prefer.

I won't bore you with my views on whether Israel will outlast the Crusdaders; you can make your own mind up.

Interesting to see a huge rise in emigration to Germany from Israel in the last few years - to such an extent the Israeli government has pressurised the German government to make it harder for Israelis to move there.

There was a recent article in the Spectator about this, which was quite an informative read -

Good piece by Mark Steyn! I too wish Israel the Happiest of 60th Birthdays - and many more.
