John Adams: "I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations… They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews."

Mark Twain: ”...If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.

The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"

What it looks like from Eilat to Jerusalem

I didn't watch the whole thing yet, but it is awesome. One of my favorite things about visiting Israel is renting a car and exploring it on my own.

However, one of my least favorite things is having to look out for the drivers like in the first portion of that video. For some it seems like lanes are an arbitrary thing. Had my taxi driver drive like that from Jerusalem to Ben Gurion airport on my last visit.

In the USA, they would get pulled over as drunk drivers, lol!

Delicious!!!! I must go and visit Israel sometime!

Yes, you must. Once you do, you will kick yourself for waiting. And although you may find info to the contrary, it can be less expensive than Rome, Paris and other parts of Europe.

It seems to me that Jerusalem is the most ancient modern city on the Earth. By ancient modern I mean a modern city that has been around for 4000 years. I cannot think of any other modern city that goes back in history that far.
