Israel is beginning to celebrate a new independence

Tel Aviv was bursting at the seams on Saturday night. It was not the mother of all protests – it was the grandmother of all protests…

Yesterday Israel celebrated its independence. That‘s the way Independence Eve looked in our childhood. That‘s the way independence looks when a people becomes free, when it wakes up from its winter and summer hibernation. After all the years of being dammed up the flood has come.
