11. Israel's First 35 Years The ancient prophet Jeremiah once excoriated those who cry “Peace,” when there is no peace. But in the infant modern state of Israel, no one had even a delusion of peace. In the wake of Israel’s 1948 War of Independence, the young nation continued to be beleaguered on every side. Yet, as we trace Israel’s first thirty-five years, we should recall the words of Prime Minister Golda Meir: “We Jews have a secret weapon; we have nowhere else to go!”Dr. Kenneth Hanson, http://drkenhanson.com/
