“To have scratched out of rock this incredibly vibrant, incredibly successful, wealthy and powerful country is a testament to the ingenuity, energy and vision of the Jewish people"

This, to me, is one of the most credible claims Israel has.

Tejek (I think) posted some photos here of the beach at Gaza and the beach in Israel. Subsequently, I looked at it on Google Earth as well as along the Northern Sinai. I really don't see how Israel started with any big advantage. It is really a question of what they decided to do with what they had. I really respect and admire success and by any metric the Jews have been successful with their land.
