Next Wednesday, April 17, is Israel Independence Day.In honor of Israel's 54th birthday, I posted on my website 116 links about Israel including history, pictures, stamps, articles, websites in various languages and more. The site will help you learn about this ancient / modern country.

The web address is:

I would also like to remind everyone that we should not forget about the innocent victims killed and wounded during the past months. A memorial to them appears at:

May the near future bring peace and quiet.
