From the Paper:

"Throughout its short, 55-year history, the State of Israel has existed in a constant state of emergency stemming from the unwavering military and terrorist threats posed by opposition groups inside and outside the nation's borders. Nearly a century of political violence " propagated in the region by neighboring states, foreign terrorist organizations, and internal dissidents since even before Israel's founding in 1948 " has profoundly shaped the history, politics, and culture of Israel and, to a large extent, the world's Jewish population. Israel was formed in the midst of a decades-old conflict in the Middle East, and despite several large strides towards a peaceful existence in the time since, she still finds herself enmeshed in a bloody battle for survival and tranquility with many of her familiar foes."
