Israel is less independent than the average Jewish husband. The average Jewish husband is always looking over his shoulder. concerned with his wife's reaction. Never truly free. Except when she is completely out of sight and out of mind. And even then he is carrying his phone and she can contact him at any time... [It is a package deal. Jewish wives are the best. They are generally smart, beautiful, fertile, family oriented, faithful and possess many other wonderful qualities. But from what I have observed they generally are not the types to say to their husbands - "You may always do as you please. I am just here to serve and to facilitate your happiness." The demands are usually many. Not that they shouldn't be. Another topic for another time - maybe:-)].
The Israeli government is constantly looking over it's shoulder, concerned with America and frankly, the entire world, who always have their binoculars directed at Israel, making sure that they aren't doing anything dastardly, like building new apartments to house their citizens on THEIR land, or other violations of United Nations policies. We are NEVER completely independent and free.
So we can call it "Limited-Independence-Day".
Until we greet MELECH HAMOSHIACH!!!! THEN - We will be truly liberated.
But what is liberation? Maybe for another post...:-)
