I21C is run by a non-profit in California which strives to inform people about "21st century Israel, its people, its institutions and its contributions to global society." The reader that submitted it wrote, "When most people think of Israel, they think of the conflict, or as we here lovingly call it, HaMatsav (The Situation). But there's a lot more to Israel that most people never hear about. For example, important scientific discoveries that affect the entire world, and projects that daily try to bridge the gaps between the different peoples of this region." An interesting, well-written site.
