Israel is, indeed, a miracle in the ME as well as the entire world. Israeli ingenuity, innovation, and pure unadulterated will-power have made incredible contributions to contemporary humankind. Let us not forget the spiritual peace which is found in this democracy so that the three Abrahamic religions--Judaism, Christianity, and Islam--may be practiced at their respective holy places in Jerusalem and elsewhere in Israel emanating respect, dignity, and profound probity in the sacredness of every human living soul.

Great video! Beautiful photos! Because there is usually so much biased news against Israel, it is good to have great news about Israel's accomplishments that G-d has allowed to happen -- makes me proud to be an Israeli!

Great video. The world needs to know this. Keep the info coming. I have some very supporting info about Israel in my new novel titled 1948. You can read about it at www.rebirthofisrael.blogspot.com

I love Israel but skewing information to self-promote isn't honorable. I enjoy analyzing statistical data for research purposes and one major and blatant flaw with this vid is the lack of perspective.

To say "Israel has more engineers and scientists... more patents per capita" without framing that statement in its true statistical reference (meaning that since Israel is so small a population, these qualifiers would be easy to make, yet the statements wouldn't necessarily hold true in a larger population context) is misleading.

If Israel "has the 3rd largest number of companies trading on Wall Street", why are there so many poor and hungry living on the streets of Yerushalyim, Tel Aviv and why is the govt subsidizing so many of its citizens? Why are so many out of work? Are they all hedge funds?

What this video does have going for it is that ppl rarely ask for scholarly research or citations when the statement(s) appeal to one's pride and ego. They see it; they like it; therefore, it must be accurate.

I love Israel, but it is just this type of poor statistical reference, revisionism and/or half-truths used to intentionally skew and mislead that stoke the fires of bias against Israel. If ppl are going to make such statements, proper citations are necessary.
