    Israel:

    It's the only country where the independent education is sponsored by the state while the 'free' education is sponsored by the parents.

    It's the only country where the unemployed go on a strike

    It's the only country where the cross country road ends before reaching half the country, Airport 2000 is still closed at 2004, water importation starts on the most rainy year and "Pi Glilot" (gas depot) is being dismantled for 8 years but still stands.

    It's the only country where 60 year old people still hate their army drill sgt.

    It's the only country with two treasury ministers and both are broke, a 101 year old kabalist starts a political party, the prime minister is forbidden from being a minister of defense according to a state committee decision, the opposition party forgot to have a candidate for the capital city and parliament members who chose the right of silence (in inquiries) can't shut their mouth.

    It's the only country where the private's mother has the corporal's phone number and he'd better watch it.

    It's the only country that has sent to space a communication satellite but nobody's ever letting you finish a sentence.

    It's the only country where missiles from Iraq, rockets from Lebanon, suicide bombers from Gaza and shells from Syria have blown in, yet a 3-room apartment costs more than in Paris.

    It's the only country where porn actresses are asked "what does your mother says about it", soccer players come to the training with their father so he could shout at the trainer and on Friday when people go to their parents, everyone sits at the same chair he sat on when he was 5 years old.

    It's the only country where an Israeli meal is consisted of an Arab salad, Romanian kebab, Iraqi pita and Bavaria cream. We probably love eating antisemites.

    It's the only country where the man with the stained open shirt is the minister and the man in a suit next to him is his driver.

    It's the only country where the expression "I didn't interrupt you" means that I want to interrupt you.

    It's the only country where muslims sell holy souvenirs to christians for bills of money with the Rambam (great Rabi) pictures on them.

    It's the only country where people leave home at the age of 18 and still live there at 24.

    It's the only country where people going to the theater (to watch a play) still record the soaps.

    It's the only country where people visiting you for the first time ask "can I take from the fridge ?"

    It's the only country where no woman gets along with her mother, yet she's still talking with her 3 times a day (2 of them are about you).

    It's the only country where parents show pictures of their children even when they're present (and are very ashamed).

    It's the only country where you can know the state of security according to the songs on the radio.

    It's the only country where the rich are socialist left, the poor are capitalist right and the middle class is paying for everything.

    It's the only country where there's no problem getting a computer software for flying spaceships, but you need to wait a week to have your washing machine installed. And only here there's such a time unit called "I'll be there between eleven and six".

    It's the only country where you ask a girl where she served in the army on the first date.

    It's also the only country where you find out she was more of a fighter than you.

    It's the only country where between one of the saddest days and the happiest days there are exactly 60 seconds.

    It's the only country where most people can't explain why the live there but they have lots of reasons why they can't live anywhere else.

    It's the only country where if you hate politicians, you hate the situation, you hate the taxes, you hate the quality of service and hate the weather, it means you love her.

    It's the only country where I could live in.

    It's my country.
