Israel's territory and population are not comparable to India's, but its national strength is stronger than India's. Why?
1. Strong national cohesion and self-improvement spirit are the inexhaustible motive force for Israel's national development. Jews are a people who have suffered greatly. There have been several great migrations and diaspora in history, and Jews were enslaved, expelled and killed. Especially during World War II, 6 million Jews were killed by German Nazis. Adversity makes man. These historical experiences did not make the Jews extinct, nor did they yield. On the contrary, they tempered the Jewish people's high patriotism and indomitable spirit of struggle. There are about120,000 Jews in the world, half of whom live in Israel and the other half live abroad. Wherever Jews are, they always care about their motherland and do everything possible to help and support their country. Where Jews live, there are Jewish communities, and they try their best to influence the host country's policy toward Israel, among which the Jewish community in the United States is the largest and has the greatest influence on the American policy toward Israel. Wealthy Jews living abroad not only return to China to invest, but also donate large sums of money to schools, research institutions and charities. The spirit of self-improvement and innovation of the Jewish nation has always been praised by people. It is with this spirit that the Jewish nation has cultivated many outstanding historical figures. Marx, known as the great man who changed world history, was a Jew, and Einstein, a famous scientist, was also a Jew. According to statistics, more than 30% Nobel Prize winners are Jews. It is in this spirit that the Jewish nation turned the desert into fertile land, poverty into wealth and weakness into strength. This spirit has the power to change the world.

Second, attach importance to education, combine knowledge education with traditional education, and improve the comprehensive quality of the nation. Israel attaches importance to education as the key to creating the future. The main methods are as follows: First, the investment in education has been very high, and it has been kept at 9- 12% of GDP. The government spends $3,938 per primary school student and $ 1 1036 per college student each year, which are higher than those in other developed countries. Among Israeli Jews, 38% have received higher education and 70% have received secondary education, ranking among the best in the world. The second is to put education on the basis of law and become a country with legal education. The Compulsory Education Law stipulates that children under the age of 5- 17 must receive free compulsory education, and adults under the age of 18 who have not completed the national curriculum must complete the senior high school curriculum. In addition, there are national education law, higher education commission law, school supervision law and special education law, which stipulate the teaching content, specific management, general training and special education, and even the class hours of students. The third is to pay attention to heuristic education. Whether in middle schools or universities, teaching is relatively loose. However, there are rules for the class hours in primary and secondary schools. School education should be four days a week, not less than eight hours a day, not less than five hours a day on weekends and not less than four hours on Fridays. These regulations require students to digest courses mainly in schools and classrooms to reduce students' burden and avoid complicated homework. Fourth, pay attention to extracurricular education. Visiting the Holocaust Museum, which shows the tragic experiences of Jews during World War II, is a compulsory course for every student. The school also organizes students to visit many museums, exhibition halls, agricultural products exhibitions and flower exhibitions. Let students receive patriotic education and extensive extracurricular knowledge. Fifth, military education is an important part of adolescent growth education. /kloc-Jewish aged 0/8-26, male served in military service for three years and female served for one and a half years. This is actually a continuation of school education. In the army, young people are exposed to some advanced weapons and equipment, and they have cultivated all kinds of necessary skills. At the same time, they have cultivated team spirit, unity, cooperation and mutual support. All these have laid a good foundation for future work.

Third, building the country through science and technology and rejuvenating the country through science and technology have made Israel win an amazing victory in the competition of comprehensive national strength in the world today. Former Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Simon? Perez once said that in a country like Israel, it is not the sky or the earth, but science and technology. Israel has an average annual rainfall of 200 mm, and water resources are seriously lacking. Desertification land accounts for 60% of the total land area. Over the years, Israel's achievements in agricultural science and technology research and development, desertification control, water-saving agriculture, factory farming, crop variety improvement and popularization, ecological agriculture and plant protection have attracted worldwide attention. The agricultural population has decreased from 70% of the national population to 3% now, and agricultural products such as wheat, flowers, fruits and cotton are not only self-sufficient, but also exported in large quantities. Israel's high-tech industry has sprung up suddenly, and the information industry has become a pillar industry of the national economy. The number of emerging enterprises is second only to the United States, ranking second in the world, and high-tech exports account for 70% of all export revenue. The export of electronic products accounts for 40% of all industrial products. Software industry has become a major force in the international software industry and an internationally recognized software design center. In recent years, Israel has made remarkable achievements in satellite images, nanotechnology, anti-missile system, new agricultural technology development, solar power generation, biotechnology and other fields.

Israel's development of high technology has the following noteworthy characteristics: First, it is backed by high-quality human resources. Israel ranks first in the world in the proportion of scientists and engineers engaged in high-tech research and development. According to the statistics of 1999, there are 145 people per 100 people, while there are 85 people in the United States, more than 70 people in Japan and less than 60 people in Germany. 25% of Israel's labor force is engaged in the technical industry, which is also the highest in the world. Per capita, the number of scientific and technological publications in Israel is also the highest in the world. Second, relevant laws and supporting policies and regulations have created favorable conditions for high-tech development. Science and technology legislation mainly includes the Industrial R&D Encouragement Law and the Investment Encouragement Law. The former stipulates that the government will provide a certain proportion of interest-free loans to enterprises' R&D projects, and the government and enterprises will share the risks, encourage enterprises to invest in high-tech R&D and promote the development of high-tech industries. The latter stipulates that the government should provide a certain proportion of investment subsidies and preferential conditions such as tax reduction and exemption for investment projects in industries, tourism, agriculture and other fields with certain conditions to attract investment. Israel has always attached importance to investment in scientific research and development. In 2000, R&D investment accounted for 3.5% of GDP, ranking third in the world. Israel also encourages the transfer of national defense technology to civilian use, raising the whole high-tech industry to a new level. The third is to attach importance to international exchanges and cooperation. Israel uses the developed scientific and technological achievements as resources to produce and sell knowledge products, expand its share in the international market, and further improve its scientific and technological level through scientific and technological cooperation. Israel's scientific and technological cooperation is mainly concentrated in the United States, Europe and the Far East. The largest partner is the United States, followed by Germany, France and other western European countries; Russia, Ukraine and other countries have bilateral cooperation agreements. Israel also signed an intergovernmental agreement on scientific and technological cooperation with China. Israel has established industrial development cooperation funds with some countries and regions, and the cooperation fund with the United States has reached more than 654.38 billion US dollars. Among the scientific papers published by Israeli scientists in foreign magazines, 1/3 is in cooperation with foreign scientists. The vast majority of college graduates have to work in foreign first-class scientific research institutions for 1-2 years before they start their scientific research work in China. Most well-known professors in Israeli universities are also visiting professors in famous universities in the United States and western Europe, and well-known professors in the United States and western Europe often teach in Israeli universities. This is conducive to the exchange between Israeli scholars and foreign countries, so as to grasp the latest scientific and technological trends in the world. Fourth, the development of science and technology has a sense of advance. "Xiao He just showed his sharp corner, and there was a dragonfly on it." In the early 1990s, Israel began to adjust its industrial structure with high technology as its core, and vigorously developed the information industry, making it a new growth point of the national economy. After the information industry is in the leading position, it pays more attention to the development of biotechnology in order to gain a favorable position in the scientific and technological competition in the 2 1 century. In order to adapt to globalization, Israel began to formulate new science and technology policies, focusing on reducing the tax burden of high-tech companies, reducing the outflow of high-tech companies and cultivating high-tech multinational companies. Israel tries its best to catch the new trend of high-tech development in the future, trying to take the lead in the field of science and technology and seize the commanding heights.

Fourth, Israel is constantly exploring development paths suited to its national conditions. In order to ensure national existence and national survival, Israel must focus on developing its defense industry. The development of military technology and its transformation into civilian products have also promoted the development of civilian industry. In this narrow and barren land, only by developing high-tech industries and biochemical agriculture can Israel walk out of the road of prosperity. Judging from the decision-making mechanism of the national development strategy, Israeli state institutions try their best to ensure scientific decision-making and put state management on the legal basis. In important departments related to the national economy, there are chief scientists involved in formulating policies. Every bill must be passed at the third reading in Parliament. Although there are some shortcomings, major mistakes can be avoided.

The biggest headache for Israel is its relationship with Palestine. Territorial issues, Jerusalem issues and refugee issues have almost become "Goldbach conjecture" issues. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is "cutting and chaos", puzzles Israel and hinders its development. Israel will continue to explore its own development path in the long-term troubles and worries.
