It's a country smaller than New Jersey, with fewer residents than New York City. Yet Israel has contributed a nearly unparalleled amount to the world's advances in science, technology and culture. IM, the modern cell phone, the computer firewall, Intel's Pentium MMX and Centrino chips were all born in Israel. So were Natalie Portman, Itzhak Perlman and Bar Rafaeli. GOOG, MSFT, IBM and MOT all have active research labs in Israel. The mini-camera-in-a-pill, the once-a-day pill for Parkinson's, and drugs to treat Alzheimer's, MS, diabetes, flu, acne, and many kinds of cancer are the result of Israeli scientific innovation. Today, Israel celebrates its 60th birthday.

"In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles."David Ben-Gurion
