Thanks truthpaste. Most interesting and much of it is factually correct in my opinion. The simple truth is that the early settlers in 1948 rolled up their sleeves and worked like slaves to irrigate their so hard earned land.

I am not sure about G-D’s existence although hopefully there is an Almighty presence in the next world. Nobody in this life knows for sure lest we could prepare ourselves for death better than we do.

The part about the consolidation of the diverse settlers into speaking the Hebrew language around 1948 is debatable because the Hebrew shown in the fascinating summary was ancient biblical Old Testament Hebrew which only religious Israelis today understand. I have Sabre relatives over there who know and care nothing about ancient Biblical Hebrew and the dogma of the old faith. They totally.cannot read or understand this language.

What an interesting film though. 4 of the 6 prophecies coming true were absolutely correct. Besides the Hebrew language bit, not sure if the sections about Russian and Ethiopian Jews being allowed to settle in Israel is relevant as the modern day country started in 1948, well before the 2 groups of later immigrants arrived. To Israel’s shame (in my opinion) these groups have often been mistreated by the people already in situ. Too often I have heard that the Russians are lazy and I don’t believe in stereotyping people like this in the manner we have had to endure for many millenniums.

Nonetheless, all strength and well being for Israel from now on is my wish. But we must be fair to our perceived “enemies” also. Am not sure they all are!

By the way, we are well off the topic of the original thread! Being of Welsh Jewish stock, it was fascinating to read the early comments and links. It doesn’t really matter though.
