I am a Jew Written by an Israeli named Dan Sporn àðé éäåãé ðëúá ò"é éùøàìé áùí ãï ñôåøï Our condition, in Israel , has never been better than it is now! Only The television and the media make people think that the end of the World is near.. Only 65 years ago, Jews were brought to death like Sheep to slaughter. NO country, NO army. Only 60 years ago, Seven Arab countries declared war on little Israel , the Jewish State, Just a few hours after it was established. äîöá ùìðå, áéùøàì, îòåìí ìà äéä èåá éåúø îàùø òëùéå!   ø÷ äèìååéæéä åäú÷ùåøú âåøîéí ìàðùéí ìçùåá ùñåó äòåìí ÷øá.   ø÷ ìôðé 65 ùðéí, éäåãéí äåáàå ìîååú ëöàï ìèáç. ììà îãéðä, ììà öáà.   ø÷ ìôðé 60 ùðéí, 7 îãéðåú òøá äëøéæå îìçîä òì éùøàì ä÷èðä, îãéðú äéäåãéí, ø÷ ëîä ùòåú ìàçø äéååñãä.       We were 650,000 Jews against the rest of the Arab world.
