Well, one way is that Israel gets all the support of the Necons and the Right Wings and also get all kinds of financial help and other supports US and Europe to continue what it is doing. As I have mentioned before in some of the threads on Propeller that if Zimbabwe can get half the support the Israel get, they would do 10 times better than Israel. Israel's invincibility and it's magic depends on the US and the Europe. The day they drop Israel like the hot potato, the Israelis will be on their knees. Why not give it a try if I am wrong.

You are either educationally of politically stunted, or both. Zimbabwe?? You don't remember when it was Rhodesia and one of the most successful nations in Africa, do you? Do you know what happened to it? Israel's business success has absolutely nothing to do with Right Wings, financial help or anything else other than good old fashioned capitalism and education. The Arab world has untold wealth, yet there isn't a single Arab country that even comes close to Israel's business, scientific or social achievements. Can you guess why? Money obviously isn't the driving force. Once again, you've shown that you can type better than you can think.

There is the HATE JEWS rant. Antisemitism on display.

What happens in Israel is that ALL healthy people at 18 go into the IDF for a few years. After they get out they then go to the universities. Business people here say they would hire one of those graduates over anybody else in the world. The sequence of being in the active military facing the dangers of the terrorist Muslims matures them more than anything else can. Then when they go to the university They have a better view of education and what it can do. When they come out they already have the hard decision making capability that the military forced on them and had the incentive to be excellent students. They then go out and make outstanding employees or creators of businesses.
Live with it Daylight. The Muslims terrorists are helping make the business there great. -

And who does the US and Europe support when it's not in their best interest to do so?

Not so long ago, Israel rolled out a prototype knock-off of the F-16. Before they could go into production and hang out an "Arms For Sale" shingle, America's military aircraft higher ups trotted off to Washington to stop Israel's progress. It was understood that Israel's product was as good or better for a fraction of the cost of a US F-16. They got what they wanted. Israel canceled the program. And Israel got an "All You Can Eat" menu, so to speak, of US arms credits in return.
So yes, we support Israel. That's how the game is played. We want to keep control of the best military aircraft on the planet; Israel wants access to that same aircraft.

The short answer is that the Jewish people are a great deal more intelligent. The statistics simply speak for themselves. Jews make up less than half of one percent of the world’s population but they consistently have made up more than twenty percent of the Forbes 400 list of the world richest people.

Not to mention that the Jews have won 20% of the Nobel Prizes. In contrast, Muslims have won a total of 7 Nobel prizes and one of them went to Yassir Arafat for peace just before he started the intifada. I'm still laughing about that one.

You don't have to be too intelligent to steal, lie and distort the truth. I think there are more intelligent people in other societies. There are their because their herd mentality. The people you are talking about are not Jews mostly they are Zionists. Is Bill Gate a Jew? Most o their business involves banking and media. I have no problem with Jewish people being intelligent but my argument is that every society there are intelligent people. I don't think intelligence is measured only by the wealth, high rise building, luxury cars, military powers and other riches but the intelligence is measured by wisdom and humane qualities.

So if we can prove that white people have more money than black people will it be OK to allow the south to bring back slavery? Or can we forcibly displace people from any land we want because they have not won enough Nobel prizes?

First of all I wish I wasn't still stuck with dial-up since this is something that does make me wonder. I hope no one will be offended by the comment that I am going to make. I really don't know many Jewish people but those that I have met and have done business with have been very shrewd people and I have always enjoyed doing business with them since it keeps you on your toes, even in casual discussions things always seemed to get back to whether something was practical or not as far as a business idea. If a person or a group of people or even a nation is educated to think things through and look at things from different sides, and also to take chances but not be speculative in their ventures they can usually be more successful. This is just my opinion but I think that the people of Israel are better taught on business ideas both in their educational system and maybe even at a family level.

IMHO, Israel is a success because it's a curious blend of socialism, collectivism, and capitalism. It avoids economic troughs, but it also doesn't peak like other nations: it's the tortoise on the way to beating the hare. Its populace is about as much of a melting pot as exists anywhere on earth, the perfect incubator for its highly talented brain pool.

When I was there in the 70s (17 years old), I can recall two consumer items unique to Israel that I thought would never go over in the US: windshield shades for cars and that paddle ball game played at the beach.
Both later took on here. -

Lets not beat around the burning bush, the US and the UK gave everything to Israel. We gave them weapons, money, training, more money, more weapons and technology. Why did the US and UK give Israel all of this free stuff? To have an advanced airbase in the Middle East, you know where most of the oil is.
