"The most powerful weapon Israel has is hope, and that is what we are taking back with us. There is a vision here, though the country is very small, the message it sends out is marvelous."

On a beautiful sun-filled morning, just over a week after Argentina marked the 40th anniversary of a military coup that installed a brutal dictatorship which “disappeared” some 30,000 mostly young people, two ministers from the Argentine province of Corrientes visited KKL-JNF’s Bosque Memoria (memorial forest) which honors the memory of the thousands of Jewish victims of the junta.
