Under increased security that has closed West Bank border crossings, Jewish citizens are recognizing this week 60 years of national re-birth. They are doing so, however, with an air of uncertainty.

What is it? Looking like it was stitched together with the spare parts of other creatures, the Platypus has the body of a beaver and the face of a duck.
