Israel

Israel as a nation began with a war of independence. On May 15th, the day after the United Nations created the state of Israel, Israel was attacked by Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan. A 15-month battle for independence ensued. It was followed by the Suez crisis of 1956. On 26 July Egyptian Pres. Nasser nationalized the canal, cautioning that Israeli shipping through it would not receive protection. Israeli troops invaded the Sinai peninsula 29 October, aided by the bombing of Egyptian airfields by British and French planes 31 October, and a cease-fire began 7 November.In May 2009 PT changed the time to 4:00 PM to coincide with the material quoted in Nick Campion's book, "World Horoscopes." Nicholas Campion's Book of World Horoscopes describes the basic situation: "In the atmosphere of crisis, and an invasion by the Arab Legion at dawn on 12 May, the Jewish leaders arranged a meeting to proclaim independence at 4.00 pm on 14 May in the Tel Aviv museum... The meeting began precisely at 4.00 pm, as arranged, when [David] Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister, struck the table with his gavel. The audience then rose spontaneously and burst into the Hatikva, the anthem of the Zionist movement. It is clear that Ben-Gurion himself regarded 4.00 pm as the critical time...Ben-Gurion finished reading the independence statement and manifesto at 4.24 pm. The scroll of independence was then signed by the 24 members of the National Committee who were present and the meeting concluded at 4.32 pm when Ben-Gurion spoke the words 'Israel has been born!' Isaac Starkman adds on the Astro.com Forum, “In 1985 Alexander Marr rectified the chart to 16.15.07 EET Asc 26Lib15’, using his razor sharp methods. It was published in his book ‘Political Astrology’. As I’m living in Israel, I checked this chart with many events and I have no doubt for the correctness of his rectification."
