Israel is a very strange country. It has a long, checkered and checkered history. Since the founding of the state in 1948, the living environment of Israelis has been very dangerous. Most of the land is desert, very barren, and severely short of water. In addition, relations with Palestine and some Arab countries are tense, and bloody conflicts have never stopped, all of which restrict economic development. However, Israel can still rise rapidly in this situation, turning from a backward agricultural country into a developed industrial country with a per capita output value of US$17,500. Less than 3% of the agricultural population not only makes the country self-sufficient in agricultural products, but also exports large quantities to European countries. Israel's information, communications, electronics, chemical industry, biotechnology, medical equipment, and fine processing have not only reached international standards, but have also become world leaders in some high-tech fields. Israel's military industry is quite developed, and its arms exports rank fifth in the world. Due to Israel's small territory, with only 6.75 million people, people call it the "smallest superpower" in the world, also known as the "pocket superpower".
Although the rise of Israel is supported by the United States, the most important thing is internal factors. It may be helpful for us to explore the reasons.
1. Strong national cohesion and the spirit of unremitting self-improvement are the inexhaustible driving force for Israel’s national development. The Jewish nation is a nation in deep suffering. During the great migrations and diasporas in history, the Jews were enslaved, deported and killed. Especially during World War II, 6 million Jews were murdered by the German Nazis. "Adversity creates new people." These historical encounters did not exterminate the Jews, nor did they make them surrender. On the contrary, they tempered the Jewish nation's high degree of patriotism and indomitable spirit of resistance. There are approximately 12 million Jews in the world, half of whom live in Israel and half in the diaspora. No matter where they are, Jews always care about their homeland and do everything possible to help and support their country. There are Jewish communities wherever Jews live, and they try every possible means to influence the host country's policy toward Israel. Among them, the Jewish group in the United States is the largest and has the greatest influence on the United States' policy toward Israel. Wealthy Jews from the diaspora not only return to their home countries to invest, but also donate heavily to schools, research institutions and charities. The Jewish nation's spirit of constant self-improvement, constant struggle, and courage to innovate has always been praised by people. It is precisely with this spirit that the Jewish nation has nurtured many outstanding historical figures. Marx, known as the great man who changed the history of the world, was a Jew, and the famous scientist Einstein was also a Jew. According to statistics, more than 30% of Nobel Prize winners are Jewish. It is by relying on this spirit that the Jewish nation has turned desert into fertile land, poverty into wealth, and weakness into strength. This spirit has the power to change the world.
