Israel is one of the best countries on earth. It is the only democracy in the Middle East. It is a modern, liberal state when it comes to the rights of women and gays, it is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse countries on earth. It has been a leader in the developement of medical, environmental, and digital technologies for years. It is truly a marvelous place!

    Is it really necessary to create a hundred and one threads just to try and prove some point in a thread in which the topic has been beaten to death?
    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    Tel Aviv. Awesome city. One of highest concentrations of Bauhaus architecture in the world (long story).

    What happened to the previous thread where someone on here was claiming he never said Israelis are far superior than anyone else? Israel is the greatest country??? That's pretty superior thinking in my eyes.

    achieved with help from the billions of dollars that the U.S. gives Israel each year of course.

    meanwhile, there are 46 million people uninsured in the U.S. who don't have access to quality, timely health care.

    what an absolute disgrace.

    Actually, what's funny is that emotional biases aside, everything he says here is factual. Its the only democracy in the Middle East, its modern from an industrialized perspective, it's socially liberal when it comes to gender and gay rights (especially compared to its neighbors!), it IS incredibly diverse (I posted a lot on this a while back), and its at the forefront of various technological industries. The only subjective judgment is the marvelous part!

    Fair enough, but by this logic, democracy really doesn't exist anywhere. Maybe that's your point. :)

    Statement which I would dispute but, going on with your argument, Israel discrimates against these different races. Arabs citizens in Israel do not have the same rights. Israeli law discrimates against them (eg property/land ownership). The education of Arab children is far inferior to Jewish children as Israeli Government funded Arab schools get less than 20% than their Jewish counterparts. This obviously has an impact on future prospect for work. There as well, discrimation is obvious - first of all getting a job, then, if an Arab does have one - his/her salary will be considerably lower than his/her Jewish equivalent. There are so many more examples of flagrant discrimation in all aspects of non Jews' lives that it would be too long to list. And I haven't even mentioned the Bedouin.... Now, I could google and post all kinds of things, but I'm sure you are aware of these and that you can google yourself. Surprisingly enough, there are findings of discrimation from the US State Department!

    So... Israel may be racially diverse but the way it treats it's non Jewish citizens/residents is shocking.
