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.

Israel pulls smart one in leaving Gaza and toning down operation now
Israel pulled a smart one. She withdrew forces, but without tunnels there , she is free to go back in for raids whenever she needs, without having to take political responsibility for the Gazans. Also, the world will watch where their money will go to Gaza next time. it will cost a fortune re-building Gaza, and the Arab world + Iran, , that supported Hamas for the destruction of Israel - had their money go up in smoke literally. Netanyahu and cabinet , defended Israel from mass terrorism with relatively few casualties. This was a pre-emptive srtike on the magnitude of the Six Day War. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4555199,00.html
