“As we celebrate the anniversary, it is useful to look back at the story of your founding. It is the story of how faith guided the Jewish people through centuries of bitter exile. It is a story of how those living behind ghetto walls and barbed wire never lost sight of Jerusalem.” ~ U.S. President George W. Bush speaking in occupied Jerusalem during Israel’s 60th anniversary celebrations
