1. How they tackle terror-
Since the foundation of Israel they have
been under the wave of terrorism by the Palestinian and Arab terrorists. They
have well managed with the terror. They have survived 2 intifadas and seems
like the third intifada is going on in it, though unofficially this time. They
are clearly well managing it with high efficiency forces and police.
It is relatively very new nation, but has fought
several wars since its foundation because Arabs world cannot
digest the fact that a Jewish nation is prospering with economic and
technological growth. Terror always prevails there. But the people are highly
courageous and optimist that even with all these occurrences Israel is world’s
eleventh happiest country.
3. I nnovation-
Necessity is the mother of invention and
Israel has proved its prowess in innovation and invention especially in arms
and weapons. The weapons that even special forces use is a gun named Tavor (used by Special Forces including Indian ones).
They have developed a drone named Heron., and also a rocket repellant system called Iron Dome. Iron Dome has blocked 90% of the rockets targeting Israel
(Israeli Heron)
4. War tactics-
Just after its foundation, this young
nation of 20 years was attacked by the whole Arab world in 1967. Its army and
air-force dealt with it tactically and the war ended in six days.
Then the Arab world launched an attack again
in 1973. This time the bunch of 12 nations, directly or indirectly against one
nation-Israel. Again, it tackled them with valiance and courage. Though Israel
too encountered losses, but it was expected due to heavy manpower from the other
side.
A picture says more than a thousand words.
5. Boldness
Israel did not
allow Iraq and Syria to possess nuclear weapons. Israel destroyed Syria's and
Iraq's nuclear reactors using its air force (read Operation Orchard and Operation Opera). Just think ISIS has captured Iraq and Syria, but
is not having nuke because of Israel, and hence we can think why ISIS could be
enemy of Israel.
6. Development-
Israel was literally nothing when it was
found, but now Israel ranks 19th out of 187
nations on the UN's Human
Development Index, which places it in the category of "Very
Highly Developed" making Israel ahead of countries like France,
Austria and Belgium. (India still ranks 135th). That makes it the
most advanced nation in Southwest Asia and middle east in economic and industrial development.

Israel.

7. Marketing and Business-
Israel is one of the best places for
business. Tel Aviv, a prominent city in Israel is ranked 3rd in
terms of technology business. They have developed high end technology in agriculture
and now have big customers like India.
8. Intelligence-
Mossad and Shin Bet are they. Two of the most powerful
secret agencies. Since it is a secret even I don’t know much about it.
9. Culture-
Hebrew was a dead language back and we have
to accredit Israelis for its revamping. Hebrew, the sacred language of Jews was
more or less like what Sanskrit is today in India, unknown to the people.
Hebrew was revived in 19th and 20th century and it is now
one of the official languages of Israel.
10. Humanitarian work-
Israel had launched more than 15 humanitarian
aids for the past 26 years in the countries affected by any natural calamity.
Israel was the first country to support Haiti in 2010 by setting up a field hospital.
Israel was the first nation to support Japan after tsunami and earthquake.
And what not. They have a special agency named Mashav dedicated for this job. This agency has provided humanitarian aid to about 140 countries.

11. Secularism-
It is the only democracy in the middle
east. People condemn it for being against Muslims, but the ground reality is
that even the Arabs living there like it for its secularism. Far liberal than it's other counterparts in middle east.
12. Education-
Israel is having highest university degree to population in the world and is second most educated country after Canada according to time magazine. Israeli scientific research institutions are ranked 3rd in the world.
I am not a preacher of Israel, but what I can analyze is that although being a very small country it is an excellent one. The people are flexible but stiff, soft but strong, tolerant but retaliative and small but powerful at the same time. Their prowess lies in their unity, strong stance and their determination for continuous progress. The country is at unofficial war as of now because of the daily rammings and stabbings of Israelis by the Palestinians and the world isn't giving a damn to it (It always was). Most of the attacks always remain unnoticed and then of forgotten.
Seriously Israelis, you made me your fan.
Pray for peace in the region.
