Sixty Years...

Israel celebrates 60 years as a nation this month.

Sixty years of a reestablished Jewish homeland.

Sixty years of struggling to survive as a nation, in the wake of international conflict over the very right of the Jewish people to have an established homeland.

Sixty years of Arab nations creating turmoil for Israel through their refusal to reintegrate Arabs into other Arab communities for the sole purpose of keeping a thorn in the side of Israel.

Sixty years of Arab nations, and Russia, working through the Palestinians to make a wretched political nightmare for Israel.

Sixty years of war for the nation of Israel, be it through all out combat or the continual skirmishes with terrorist groups and homicide bombers blowing themselves up in public places.

Sixty years of a homeland for a people scattered to the four corners of the earth during the time of Roman rule.

Sixty years of a homeland for a people persecuted mercilessly through the years of the holocaust.

Sixty years of a place for a people to look to as their established nation AS a people, no longer having to consider themselves as a homeless race upon the face of the earth.

Sixty years of the various sects of Judaism to come together on one soil, in one place, as one people.

Sixty years of Israel, reunited, proud, unrepentant for demanding a right to exist.



God bless Israel.

Shalom Israel.

Once and Always, an American Fighting Man
