Today is the 57th anniversary of the vote on UN resolution 181, establishing a Jewish nation in the land of Israel. IsraPundit is participating in a "BlogBurst" with other blogs to commemorate this anniversary. This led (after the surrounding Arab armies attacked the Jewish population and were defeated) to the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel in May 1948, which is pictured above.
