Israel is also the only democracy in the Middle East and has the highest standard of living there, along with many other accomplishments in world rankings. This includes its success in lessening COVID rates and in vaccines.
The state of Israel was proclaimed almost 73 years ago to the day, on May 14, 1948. Claims to their homeland have existed since Biblical times. President Harry Truman acknowledged its existence that very same day.

Those are some of the traits associated with the essence of journalism. Not sympathy with the Nazis.
