America's Exceptional Ally
[Jerusalem Post] Caroline Glick - As American economic and technology guru George Gilder puts it in his new book The Israel Test, "The test of a culture is what it accomplishes in advancing the human cause - what it creates rather than what it claims." Gilder shows that Israel creates wealth through creativity and innovation, and is today contributing more to the human cause through its scientific, technological and financial advances than any other country in the world except the U.S. Gilder asserts that the future of the world will be determined by its treatment of Israel. He asks: "What is your attitude toward people who excel you in the creation of wealth or in other accomplishment? Do you aspire to their excellence, or do you seethe at it? Do you admire and celebrate exceptional achievement or do you impugn it and seek to tear it down?"
