A belated Happy Birthday here for a nation whose spirit never fails to surprise me. I'm not even sure what the exact date is supposed to be (I think there were security concerns?) Their story is so amazing, so fucking inspiring that even beyond concerns of religion & socialism their strength and love of life shine through. They haven't given into hatred!, considering what they've been through I'd be the same in their position.

I made a simple video with my ex-Israeli neighbour Ben and I singing Hatikva 'The Hope'
It wont win any film or singing awards but fuck it, that's how I feel
Shalom! Israel for ever!

Happy Birthday, Israel!

Hoping as ever that birth of Palestinian nation(s) will yet be accomplished and that justice and peace will come.

I was born the same year as Israel, so I always know how far they have made it.

This book by Joseph Heller looks very informative:

The Birth of Israel - 1945 to 1949: Ben-Gurion and His Critics


Happy Birthday Israel!

... have done an international press release. Thought about it. But I've been so disgusted by their appeasement under Olmert. I'm surprised it didn't rouse poor old Sharon from his coma. But yes, Happy Birthday, Israel!!!
