No matter what , Israel is a beautiful country and that is what I wanted to show in this video.

When I lived in Israel there was the Intifada one and two and the name of Israel as now is being thrown down by many. So I made these National Geographic style movies of Israel to show her secret beauty. Looking at Israel now from afar , with the present crisis in Gaza, I feel that my memoir of what life there is about is so important especially now. I am amazed how history does repeat itself, so the lessors from the book are still appropriate today. Support Israel and get a copy now of " Leaving Home , Going Home , Returning Home: A Hebrew American's Sojourn in the Land of Israel". Some of the lessons from the book that are relevant today. One : American Jews still move to Israel even though they have it easy in the USA. Two: It takes knowledge , study, and time, to understand the situation and see through the knee jerk propaganda leveled against Israel . My book brings some of that knowledge and does it well. Three ; under all is the land. Israel , with all the problems , is still in control of her tiny , but amazing piece of land, and when the dust blows over , Israel will still be there. not only that , there will be more tourism than ever. Four: Israel gains support from unexpected places every day. Close one door, and another window opens. Five: Israeli food , music, and humor is great and gets better. Six: The war against Israel, is a war against the Jews. We are not duped. Seven: Sometimes, Israelis are their own worst enemies. Eight : We are tested , not by the challenges we face, but how we deal with them. The Jewish people have been made the Chosen People and a Guiding Light . Although some Israelis and Jews, try to push off this distinction, they are held to it every day. So they might as well own up to the crown. Nine: Boycott is a two edged sword. Just as some world players want to boycott Israel, Israel will sell her economically stressed technology and battle tested weaponry at even higher prices. Ten: American's do " get it" , if not now later. That is because America is a free country and has the ability to investigate , learn, and make a free decision for themselves. That is why one of the best books on Israel was written by a Hebrew American, someone who integrated the best qualities of both America and Israel. One thing has changed for Israel, and this is important . Israelis use to say they wish they had the American president running for president in israel as they would vote for him. I can honestly say , that with Benjamin Netanyahu, someone who integrated Israeli and American culture, Israelis are finally happy with their own Prime Minister. I am happy that I had a chance to live in Israel when he was a Prime Minister too.
