"The Long View" is an article that is very interesting to me. I grew up reading Bible stories about the promised land and this article is about Israel and that land. It is amazing for how long there has been war and fighting in this area. It was fascinating to learn that for 60 years now Israel has survivied as a democracy. The language of Hebrew has been revived. Technology has advanced during this time...but still there are problems.
Israel suffers an identity crisis. There are black-hatted ultra-Orthodox who don't go along with the young people there. Jews from Europe don't like the Jews from North Africa. There is a mixture of culture and race in Israel which is causing problems ....not growth as a country.
Israel also always lives in fear that another country or group will invade or that they will be attacked in some way. The continued disagreements with Palestine also cause Israel not to be united. Will there ever be peace there??
