ISRAEL – Small but Outstanding. A small country making a BIG difference.
This evening and tomorrow Israel celebrates Yom Haatzmaut - 71 years of independence.
Israel is one of the smallest countries on earth with 1/1000th of the world’s population. Indeed a small country that boasts an abundance of attractions and holy sites. An uplifting spiritual ‘relive the Bible’ experience is assured.
Not only a technology superpower; not only a leader in medical research…
Did you know that:
It is the only country in the world that entered the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees? Remarkable! Especially given the fact that it is 60% desert land.
Israel has more museums per capita than any other country.
More Nobel Prizes per capita than any other country. More laureates in real numbers than China, Mexico & Spain.
The only country in history to have revived an unspoken language.
Israel is the only country whose indigenous population returned to its native land after 2,000 years of forced exile.
Only to name a few of its accomplishments in the 71 years of its independence.
In its 70 years of independence it has had to endure many struggles and wars & has had to fight off terrorism.
