Why tell this story
now?
The Middle East is in the news every day, and Israel is
always involved, somehow.
Let’s hear about how and why Israel came into being.
Why are those people there? How do they survive? This story
is a window into how Israel was founded, as told by an
American Marine who was there to help them.
For 60 years, Israel has been on the front lines of
militant Islam’s war against the West. Israel knows
more about dealing with Islamic fundamentalism and
terrorism than any other country. The United States needs
to learn from Israel’s successes and mistakes.
Time is of the essence. The world needs to come up with
solutions to defuse the tensions in the Middle East, lest
the situation lead to nuclear or biological war.
Israel is a democracy. There is a tradition of democracies
helping each other in times of peril. France assisted the
United States in its war of independence from Britain. The
U.S. assisted Britain in its war with the Nazis.
Israel wins the military wars, but has been losing the
propaganda war.
The story of how Israel was founded, and how individual
acts of courage saved the day, is a key to understanding
how to deal with Arabs and Islam. DESTINY affirms the value
that small groups of individuals can invent ways to head
off disaster.
Americans learn through movies, and love war movies. This
is a great story – a small group of rebel aviators go
over to the Middle East, take on the Arab Empire and win.
The facts of history are similar to the plot of The Seven
Samurai, The Magnificent Seven, and Star Wars.
