Israel as a dream and as a reality are “two big differences.” Its capital, Jerusalem, is the center of the world and a small eastern city. A Jewish state, whose residents are woken up in the morning by muezzins, despite the fact that these residents look like anyone except classic Jews. Bureaucrats and saints. Numerous geniuses and selective idiots. Politicians and ministers who are cunning to the point of stupidity, who are better able to drive a tank and raise battalions to attack than to command officials. A country that lives from war to war, but with what pleasure it lives! Lots of delicious food and flowers. Russian language on every corner. Children and cats. Girls and boys with machine guns form an army resembling well-armed students. Missile attacks, the reflection of which can be admired from the balcony. Terrorists - and the world's best system for protecting the population from terrorists. Holy land in every sense. Three thousand years of history of the state, dying and being reborn, like a phoenix from the ashes. An excellent example of how to live in this world.
