In the midst of political shame, teacher strikes, unnecessary car accidents, etc.. there is nothing like a good old fashioned pat on the back to get our egos back on track.

And Baruch Hashem, tfu tfu tfu, hamsa hamsa hamsa, we still have a lot to be proud of.

As one YouTube user puts it:

As a small country with limited natural resources, Israel depends on its most important natural resource — its people.

Israel’s achievements are uniquely its own, a mixture of high idealism, ingenuity and self-reliance.

In almost 60 short years, Israel has accomplished what many nations haven’t been able to do in centuries.

Israel’s one natural resource is its brainpower, with a driving demand for survival and success against all odds, Israel developed an energetic and ambitious society.

On the occasion of the soon 60th Day of Independence, I take the opportunity of listing together some of the outstanding facts and achievements of our beloved Israel.

Is your ego thirsty for more? How typically Israeli… Well, have no fear, there’s a lot more where that came from.

Just don’t let it go to your head! 😉
