"Israel is a global success story; it is a vibrant, dynamic society with a growing economy and science, internationally recognized, at the forefront of research, a radical democracy with extreme freedom of speech and a bold and aggressive media that does not hesitate to expose all the government's weaknesses.... Israeli culture is rich, multifaceted, innovative and constantly renewed, with clashes between high and popular culture, European and American cultures and Mizrahi culture, secular and religious Jewish culture, and so on - all reflecting the mosaic of cultural life. The great Zionist adventure was and remains one of the most amazing attempts ever made at nation building: taking place democratically, without coercion of citizens, during a time of ongoing existential warfare, and without losing the moral principles that guided it." Anita Shapira
