Yesterday was the Israeli Independance Day reception. You've gotta feel gyped when in the record books it only says that you've been a country since May 14th 1948. (Because it's based on a different calendar, it doesn't fall on the same day every year.. just in case you were wondering. Not that it matters when they've pretty much existed since before sandals. Birthdays probably lose a bit of spark after a bajillion years. ) For a brief history lesson on David Ben Gurion and the creation of Isreal, click here. You'll be surprised at what you don't know. Like the fact that the day after they became a country they were attacked by six Arab nations. Happy Birthday Israel.
