by Jewish Week Staff
Jerusalem — The state of Israel, which turns 60 years old this May, recently underwent a comprehensive medical examination at Hadassah Hospital.
Doctors announced that Israel suffers from several serious ailments, including clogged arteries of its main highways and roads.
Medical tests further indicate that Israel suffers from early signs of dementia, as it tends to forget what happens each time it gives up land for peace.
On a positive note, doctors said that Israel has a big, strong heart that enables the nation to continue to help needy people everywhere.
The doctors recommended that Israel follow an aggressive exercise program that includes pushing its luck, bending over backwards, stretching its limits, and jumping to conclusions.
