Israel has been for nearly 60 years the only real superpower in the middle east. Because it has encouraged its citizens to pursue excellence in the many areas of its society. While its neighbors have been barren wastelands, Israel has made the desert bloom with sucessful farming.

Even its Arab citizens has been given full rights and all the shrines full access by all Jews, Christians, and Muslims. What we are seeing are two nations, Iran and Syria, which have not treated their citizens justly, try to start wars against Israel because they are what are called wanabee middle eastern regional superpowers. Let what has been happening in the Gaza be a warning to the whole world of what free peoples are up against.
