No one seems to have commented on two of the books mentioned by Rabbi Slifkin, The Genius of Israel and Start-Up Nation. My wife and I have read them both and we really encourage people to read them. Some absolutely fascinating information about Israel and many of its people. It's funny that although the authors are not religious (at least I don't believe they are), reading these books makes me see more of G-d's hashkacha over the land of Israel.

It takes a certain kind of intellectual stupidity to think the existence of Israel needs "defending"; it takes even more intellectual stupidity, plus arrogance, to think the committed anti-semites who think thus about Jews will be convinced otherwise by her brilliance. Truly, the lady doth protest too much.
