In telling this story I am not interested in taking any side. I just want to tell the story of how one small nation and a small group of people have had the tenacity and courage to defy the odds and preserve an ancient culture that has become the epicenter of not just conflict but religion, philosophy and human society as a whole. The history of Israel is not infinite, and Jews and Judaism did not begin as the nation of Israel. Many forget the fact that Judaism predates any known reference of a Jewish nation state. After 3000 odd years, Israel is now such an integral part of the Jewish identity, it is understandably hard to imagine a time before its founding. As we look to the very foundation of the first state of Israel we can look no further than the first King of Israel. Yes, what is it a nation wants after they have become a homogenized group? They want a King to lead them off course And as is mentioned in Samuel, the people of Israel cried out to God to give them a King. And what they received was Saul the first King of Israel.
