The Middle East has  been growing date palms for centuries. The average 
tree is about 18-20 feet  tall and yields about 38 pounds of dates a year. 
Israeli date trees are  now yielding 400 pounds/year and are short enough 
to be harvested from the  ground or a short ladder. 
Israel the 100th  smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the world's

companies in the world.  In absolute, Israel has the largest number of

States 
and Canada,  Israel has the largest number of NASDAQ listed companies.

rubble. 
Israel has the third  highest rate of entrepreneurship -- and the highest 
rate among women and  among people over 55 - in the world! 
Relative to its  population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing 
nation on earth.  Immigrants come in search of democracy, religious freedom, 
and 
economic  opportunity, (hundreds of thousands from the former Soviet  
Union) 
Israel was the first  nation in the world to adopt the Kimberly process, an 
international standard  that certifies diamonds as "conflict free." 
Israel has the world's  second highest per capita of new books.

Medicine - Israeli  scientists developed the first fully computerized, 
no-radiation, diagnostic  instrumentation for breast cancer.

camera, so small it fits  inside a pill, used to view the small and large 
intestine from the inside,  to view potential Cancer and other digestive 
disorders. 
Researchers in Israel  developed a new device that directly helps the heart 
pump blood, an  innovation with the potential to save lives among those 
with heart failure.  The new device, synchronized with the camera, helps 
doctors diagnose the  heart's mechanical operations through a sophisticated 
system 
of  sensors. 
Israel leads the world  in the number of scientists and technicians in the 
workforce, with 145 per  10,000, as opposed to 85 in the U. S., over 70 in 
Japan, and less than 60 in  Germany. With over 25% of its work force employed 
in technical professions.  Israel places first in this category as well.

or  tissue.

solar-powered and fully  functional electricity generating plant, in southern

to spend more per capita  on its own protection, than any other county on 
earth.
