“For Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom; and no area of the world has ever had an overabundance of democracy and freedom.”—John F. Kennedy, Speech at the Zionists of America Convention, August 26, 1960
(Words still useful to remember as Israel continues to battle foes bent on its destruction, even as it celebrates the 60th anniversary of its founding this week)
