Israel marks 60th anniversary with pride, uncertainty
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel staged its 60th birthday bash with fireworks, air force flyovers and a great sense of pride Thursday, but also with uncertainty about its future and doubts about prospects for peace with the Palestinians.
Across the country, Israelis held barbecues in backyards and public parks, and were entertained by naval parades and a Bible quiz. But a celebratory parachute jump over Tel Aviv injured three spectators after a parachutist crashed into a crowd.
Israel at 60 is a paradox of exuberance and despair — a country enduring near daily rocket attacks from militants while producing scientists who have pioneered Wi-Fi and instant messaging. Six decades after rising from the ashes of the Holocaust, the Jewish state is still plagued by threats from abroad and an identity crisis at home.
Its 41-year occupation of Palestinian territories has invited international condemnation. Yet Israel is a thriving democracy that has provided a haven for the world's Jews.
Independence Day is a "celebration of the possible," said Israeli author Yossi Klein Halevi. "It means taking the dream out of the realm of the ideal and into the realm of the concrete, and that in turn means living with a certain amount of disappointment."

This year's celebration was marred by a fresh criminal inquiry of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, whose legal woes are calling his political survival into question just as he is moving to forge a peace deal with the moderate Palestinian leadership in the West Bank.
Peace talks have produced no tangible results. Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad warned Thursday that "the peace process is facing difficulties, when compared with its declared goals." President Bush wants to see a peace deal by the end of the year, but the target date appears increasingly unrealistic.
Near the northern Gaza town of Jebaliya, Israeli aircraft fired missiles at a car and men on foot in separate strikes, wounding four Palestinians, medics said. The Israeli military said the missiles targeted a rocket launching squad.
In the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinians staged events to remind the world that Israel's creation has been their "nakba," or catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands were uprooted during the 1948 war over Israel's creation, and some 4.5 million Palestinian refugees and their descendants are scattered across the region today.
In Bethlehem, some 500 marchers followed a flatbed truck carrying a huge key, meant to symbolize the hope of refugees to return one day to their villages, most of them leveled, in what is now Israel.
Israelis, meanwhile, put aside their frustration with politics for what was billed as one of the most joyous birthday celebrations since the first on May 14, 1948 — a date marked each year in Israel by the Hebrew calendar.
Independence Day began at sundown Wednesday, just as Memorial Day for fallen soldiers ended — a jarring contrast between solemnity and joy that underlined the link between the military and the existence of Israel.
During Thursday's celebrations, a parachutist accidentally landed in the crowd that had gathered on a Tel Aviv beach to watch the skydive, seriously injuring three spectators.
Jerusalem's downtown Zion Square was inundated with people Wednesday night, as revelers watched the annual fireworks display. Vendors sold inflatable and light-up toys — all emblazoned with the blue and white Star of David of the Israeli flag.
During the holiday, Israel is prohibiting Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza from entering Israel, fearing attempts by militants to disrupt the celebrations.

A nazi is a person that is disgustingly racist, Israel is a country.
Some say that Israel is a disgustingly racist country.
- It is a Jewish/Zionist state devoted exclusively to the culture, interests, heritage and religion of the Jewish people.
- Human-rights abuses Israel inflicts on the Palestinians.
- Marriages and other aspects of civil laws are decided by religious courts who do not recognize marriage between Jews and Palestinians.
- Arab pupils make up a third of the total school population in Israel but Arab schools receive just seven per cent of the Israeli education ministry's budget.
- The "national priority areas", which give extra benefits to residents and businesses, are almost completely for the Jews -- even though the Central Bureau of Statistics showed 70 per cent of the poorest areas in Israel are Arab. Currently 492 Jewish communities have priority. There are four small Arab villages on the list.
I'm just sayin', a lot of jews have this persecution complex to the point where the jewish or jew state can do no harm. It's almost as bad as the paranoid black approach like dubcc's jobology (danny gomez), pretty out of touch and unfairly biased more so than the institutions they complain about.
Don't act all surprised and offended if someone says fuck israel.

I lived in Israel for 3 years and I know that Israel has many flaws, but let me tell you that they are NOT racist at all. They actually love Americans, and all other tourists. They will befriend you right away, and generally be very warm and nice to you. If your car gets stuck in the middle of some stranded place, you can always count on somebody to stop and help you. I dont know about what you said above, so I wont argue that. I just know everybody needs to stop being so fucken racist and we should all just live in peace.

You can make a list like that for any country...fact of the matter is, Israel is a Jewish country (a very small one, at that). Who knows if the Jews would've even survived without one?

A Lot of hate towards Israel!
C'mon folks you meet bad eggs, it's not only localized or specific to the Jews you know!
For the most part, Jews are Cool!
Though i have met some who are abrupt and some times stiff necked..but such is life you know...

dont get me wrong, i dont hate israel. i've been to a couple barmistvah's for lifelong firends and i love them and their families..
me and my boy get down with the
קנה-בשם
whenever i'm back home..
it's all love.
just so happens one of the biggest pricks on dubcc happens to share their faith and has the nerve to call israel "dankier", like their national pride comes from smoking weed and listening to hip hop all day.

^you're an idiot.

<i'm an idiot.

^I agree.

Pardon me, but that is a bullshit excuse, there is and there are Jews all around the world living comfortably and surviving very well, with or without Israel.
Anyway, I got nothing against Israel being a country for Jews or existing (and I know for myself that on a personal level Jews are capable of being very nice and friendly and I would have no problem wit getting lifted wit you and talking religious jibberish).
But the problem is denying the Palestinians to have their own place and using military hardware against densely populated civilian areas and the massive collateral damage that entails. Israel dosn't want to set boarders, why? Don't be so naive as to avoid looking at a map of Israel over the past couple of decades, them boarders keep creeping slowly, slowly, sneakily, sneakily, yall really are not doing much to dispel the sterotype....
...is it wrong for us to expect better conduct from the Jewish state? Aren't yall sick of being greedy and self-centered? Seriously? Surely yall must have enough fucking land by now, surely yall must be fucking happy now? The Holocaust was a terrible thing to happen not just due to the lives lost, but also due to the terrible self-centered fear and greed it instilled in the following Jewish generations...its a vicious cycle.
Anyway, its important not to get stranded and bogged down within our own points of view and to remain with an open heart to all...if we can do that then there is hope for us all.
Alas! the world is full of enormous lights and mysteries, and man shuts them from himself with one small hand!

I know. I am. But that does not make it any less valid of an opinion, just because an opinion is not from your point of view, or even from Israel's point of view, does not make it any less excuseable or significant. Otherwise that would be self-centered wouldn't it? And that is a problem...
