Well Israel itself existed with canaanite mixing with something new called Israel culture which formed the nation Israel, i believe the first historical mentioning of the word Israel was mentioned first in 1200 BC by an Egyptian stele. And then with Israel being weaker compared to the ancient stronger culture back then it was more or less runned over but had the sense of divine judgement in their religious tradition. But in 70 AD it was finally sacked by Romans. And in 1948/49, Israel was accepted as an independent state/country.

68 seems like a loose term compared to 50 or 100 anniversary, sorry if i nip on that one, but congratulations either way.

As for Norwegian history. Norway was an independent country before in terms of viking/roman catholicism era, but we got in union with Denmark after the black plague, basically it affected us so much that we were more or less vulnerable. So the danes have been ruling over us for like 400 years or something, and then in 1814 when the Swedes planned to take over us because they were promised by the brits that they would have Norway as in union if they fought against Napoleon, so a Danish person sailed over to persuade Norwegians to become independent and have its own constitution, basically when the Swedes got back they won a short won victory but the ruling person at the time "Karl Johan" allowed us to have a constitution of our own even if we were in union. But in 1905 we became independent, i guess the historical reason to why the Swedes didn't want to use force was to tie a more friendly union than a bloodfest from what i know. Although the idea of norwegian nationalism (Compared to other nationalism which was usually bloody, the only bad thing we had was forcing Saami people to learn norwegian "basically they couldnt speak their native language at all" and deny their religion and culture, which was pretty bad but compared to others i say this was more misfortune at the time it happend, but luckily this is all in the past). Either way Norway may have been independent from the long union in 1905, but the idea of its own written language and nation was mostly developed in 19th century ever since 1814, which is considered the national date. 17 mai being the national day when all are out with flags and eating hot dogs and the russ who are spraying water on people (its kinda like celebration of graduation day from school but being more ruckus than diplomatic with coats and hats and a diploma like you see on american movies). So i think 1814 is mostly relevant in terms of its own constitution so i'd say that one is the date that is mostly common, 2 years ago there were actually 200 years anniversary for its constitution, so now it its 202 years in a way.

Israel BC and in the Bible was known as 'Knaan' (כנען) and wasn't ruled by the Israeli society. The first 5 books of the Torah (each one is a few hundred pages) explain only their way to Knaan and their entrance in the last book. Israel, not Knaan, was liberted and officialy founded as a Jewish country in 1948. Yes, it was known as Israel many years ago, but was officialy founded 68 years ago.

Not my fault. Teens (10-18) ride on electric bikes with another person below them which is VERY dangerous. I once saw 2 girls from my school riding together on the same bike, then crashing into a pole. One was knocked into the pole while the other fell to the ground. I was so glad they lived at the end.
