	Students celebrate Israeli independence
		Celebratory dinners, festivals and parties have been planned on campus this week to commemorate Israeli independence, and organizers say the events are an effort to celebrate the nation's culture and history rather than discuss politics.
		But some students said they feel that those celebrating Israel's independence overlook the means by which Israel was established as a state.

	Israeli independence celebrated, debated
		Politically, the pullout reflects a growing sense among Israelis that unilateralism — actions taken without consulting the Palestinian Authority — is the only way for Israel to, as Klieman puts it, have a "grudging coexistence" with the Palestinians.
		"One has to acknowledge that for Israelis, (the pullout) is a tremendous step forward in terms of the audacity of the act, but it doesn't necessarily advance the ball quite as much in terms of bilateral Israeli-Palestinian relations," Myers said.
		But Snoyman, while he said Israel Independence Day is and will always be about "the fact that we are able to go back to our land, something we didn't have for 2,000 years," also plans to keep the orange ribbon tied to his backpack to remind people that not everyone in Israel is celebrating today.

	BBC News \| ISRAEL TODAY \| Zionism - 50 years after Israeli independence
		The celebrations surrounding Israel's 50th anniversary of independence are more low-key than might have been expected - an indication of the questioning and doubt in many peoples' minds about the future course of the country.
		Israel's achievements in 50 years have been considerable; it has been transformed from a tiny embattled state into a thriving modern economy, well able to defend itself.
		But it probably means little to most average Israelis as they go about their daily lives.
