Going it Alone

On Wednesday, two days after Israel acted alone, as is usually the case, to stop a "Flotilla" from breaking a security barrier, a young boy in Los Angeles, California, acted alone to protest against a Pro-Palestinian group. The group calling for the destruction of Israel - was forced to scream louder and throw stronger death wishes as the young boy just stood his ground, kept composed and walked alongside them with his Israeli Flag, IDF Tee-shirt and Yarmulke covering his head.

Israel and Jews in general, have always been on the low end when it came to population and size of land owned. The disproportionate, David vs Goliath, if you will, has had to be backed with a proportionate amount of force to just survive while encircled by Rottweilers always on the attack. So here we have One Country, roughly the size of New Jersey, against 4 countries who border it (Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan) and they stand tall. Israeli's are educated, the country is at the top of the economic scale in the world, Top in medicine, genetics, technology and so on.

I could go on for days about the Pulitzer Prize winners, Nobel winners and the breakthroughs made by Jewish innovation - I wont. I will say this.

Israel goes one against many - to push ethics, humanity, peace and improvements in the world. They are the first country to send assistance to other countries in need. They stress security because without security they would not exist. They have the best Air Force in the world because they need to watch and fight from above.

That kid walked into the crowd and waved his flag because he knows that good triumphs evil. The power of the One can overwhelm the power of the many - and he knows this and that's why he was able to walk there, head help up high, waving the flag and singing the songs of survival and faith.
