since there countless threads hating on Israel, it's time to recognize some of the accomplishments. There's plenty of other anti-semtic, fuck israel, jew hating threads in this forum, so if your a simple drone and that's all you have to contribute check your hater shit here...


Israel the 100th smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the world's population, can lay
claim to the following:

Technology
-The cell phone was developed in Israel by Israelis working in the Israeli branch of Motorola,which has its largest development center in Israel.

- Most of the Windows NT and XP operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel.

- The Pentium MMX Chip technology was designed in Israel at Intel.

- Both the Pentium-4 microprocessor and the Centrino processor were entirely designed, developed and produced in Israel.

- The Pentium microprocessor in your computer was most likely made in Israel.

- The technology for the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 by four young Israelis.

Defense
- Israel has the fourth largest air force in the world (after the U.S, Russia and China).
- In addition to a large variety of other aircraft, Israel's air force has an aerial arsenal of over 250 F-16's. This is the largest fleet of F-16 aircraft outside of the U. S.

-Israel's $100 billion economy is larger than all of its immediate neighbors combined.

- Israel has the highest percentage in the world of home computers per capita.

- According to industry officials, Israel designed the airline industry's most impenetrable flight security. US officials now look (finally) to Israel for advice on how to handle airborne security threats.

Education & Business
- Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world.

- Israel produces more scientific papers per capita than any other nation by a large margin - 109 per 10,000 people -- as well as one of the highest per capita rates of patents filed.

-In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world. In absolute terms, Israel has the largest number of startup companies than any other country in the world, except the U.S. (3,500 companies mostly in hi-tech).

- With more than 3,000 high-tech companies and startups, Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies in the world -- apart from the Silicon Valley, U.S.

- Israel is ranked #2 in the world for venture capital funds right behind the U.S

- Outside the United States and Canada, Israel has the largest number of NASDAQ listed companies.

- On a per capita basis, Israel has the largest number of biotech startups.

- Israel has the third highest rate of entrepreneurship -- and the highest rate among women and among people over 55 - in the world.

Standard of Living
- Israel has the highest average living standards in the Middle East.

- The per capita income in 2000 was over $17,500, exceeding that of the UK.

- Twenty-four per cent of Israel's workforce holds university degrees, ranking third in the industrialized world, after the United States and Holland and 12 per cent hold advanced degrees.

- Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.

- In 1984 and 1991, Israel airlifted a total of 22,000 Ethiopian Jews (Operation Solomon) at Risk in Ethiopia, to safety in Israel.

- When Golda Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1969, she became the world's second elected female leader in modern times.

- When the U. S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya was bombed in 1998, Israeli rescue teams were on the scene within a day -- and saved three victims from the rubble.

- Relative to its population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth. Immigrants come in search of democracy, religious freedom, and economic opportunity. (Hundreds of thousands from the former Soviet Union)

- Israel was the first nation in the world to adopt the Kimberly process, an international standard that certifies diamonds as "conflict free."

- Israel has the world's second highest per capita of new books.

- Israel is the only country in the world that entered the 21st century with a net gain in its number of trees, made more remarkable because this was achieved in an area considered mainly desert.

- Israel has more museums per capita than any other country.

-The Middle East has been growing date palms for centuries. The average tree is about 18-20 feet tall and yields about 38 pounds of dates a year. Israeli date trees are now yielding 400 pounds/year and are short enough to be harvested from the ground or a short ladder.

- An Israeli company was the first to develop and install a large-scale solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant, in southern California's Mojave desert.

Medicine
- Israeli scientists developed the first fully computerized, no-radiation, diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer.

- An Israeli company developed a computerized system for ensuring proper administrat ion of medications, thus removing human error from medical treatment. Every year in U. S. hospitals 7,000 patients die from treatment mistakes.

- Israel's Given Imaging developed the first ingestible video camera, so small it fits inside a pill. Used to view the small intestine from the inside, cancer and digestive disorders.

-Researchers in Israel developed a new device that directly helps the heart pump blood, an innovation with the potential to save lives among those with heart failure. The new device is synchronized with the camera helps doctors diagnose heart's mechanical operations through a sophisticated system of sensors.

- Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce, with 145 per 10,000, as opposed to 85 in the U. S., over 70 in Japan, and less than 60 in Germany. With over 25% of its work force employed in technical professions. Israel places first in this category as well.

-A new acne treatment developed in Israel, the Clear Light device, produces a high-intensity, ultraviolet- light-free, narrow-band blue light that causes acne bacteria to self-destruct -- all without damaging surrounding skin or tissue.

-All the above while engaged in regular wars with an implacable enemy that seeks its destruction and an economy continuously under strain by having to spend more per capita on its own protection than any other county on earth.

What have the countries, which seek to destroy Israel, Accomplished?

. ... . . AND THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR IN ENGLAND SAYS:
"ISRAEL IS NOTHING BUT A SHITTY LITTLE COUNTRY"

- Israel is planning to strike Iran with several tactical nuclear weapons, ranking number 2 in the world behind the United States of America when it comes to doing stupid reactionary shit.

I'm not hating on Israel per se - I think it's a bit much for them to strike Iran with nuclear weapons through fear, but they have done some good shit as you were right to point out. However, I hate the level of influence that America has over Israel, and I hate the fact that the US donates billions of dollars to Israel just to maintain it as an island of western power in the middle east. I also think they should cede a little piece of land to Palestine - they're not asking THAT much. Apart from that, they can keep doing what they're doing...

Typical Israeli supporter: confuses critisism of the Israeli government with anti-semitism.

There were a number of great accomplishments by the Nazi's too (especially in scientific achievements, particularly medical research such as being the first to link smoking to lung cancer). Maybe the Jews and everyone else that opposed them were just "haters."

Total Cost to U.S. Taxpayers
$134,791,507,200

Total Taxpayer Cost per Israeli
$23,240

Charitable Aid

Private donations to American charities initially constituted one quarter of Israel’s budget. Today, it is estimated that these tax-deductible donations exceed $1.5 billion per year. The ability of Americans to make what amounts to tax deductible contributions to a foreign government does not exist for any other country.

Military

The Israeli government is the largest recipient of US financial aid in the world, receiving over one-third of total US aid to foreign countries4, even though Israel’s population comprises just .001% of the world’s population and has one the world’s higher per capita incomes.

The United States provides direct and indirect military aid to Israel – totalling more than it gives to all the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean put together, whose combined total population is 1,054,000,000.

*

Foreign Military Financing (FMF) is grants to foreign governments financing the purchase of American-made weapons, services and training. Israel receives 50% of the FMF budget request. The large sums paid by the US to Egypt and Jordan are in recognition of the two countries signing peace accords with Israel in 1979 and 1994 respectively.

FMF Budget Request FY 2001: Total budget request: $3.54 billion
Budget request for Israel: $1.98 billion
Budget request for Egypt: $1.3 billion
Budget request for Jordan $75 million

*

The Economic Support Fund (ESF) promotes economic and political stability in areas strategically important to the US. It is not intended for military usage, but allows the recipient government to free up other money, therefore providing indirect military aid. Israel receives the largest single grant of the Near East budget, which alone is 79% of the total ESF request.

ESF Budget Request, FY 2001:


Total budget request:


$2.313 billion




Budget request for Near East:


$1.828 billion, including:



Israel


$840 million




Egypt


$150 million




WB/GS


$100 million

Furthermore:

*

18 of the 92 pending arms sales transfers in the year 2000 were to Israel;
*

Israel has the world’s largest fleet of F-16s outside the US, currently possessing 200 jets -- with a further 102 on order with American manufacturer Lockheed Martin;
*

In June 2001 Israel again requested $800 million in supplementary US aid. This was originally pledged to cover the cost of the Israeli withdrawal from south Lebanon – in other words, Israel was being paid for complying with international law. As Israel re-requests this package, administration officials have considered linking it to the implementation of the Mitchell Report, again effectively paying Israel to comply with international standards;

US aid to Israel: A violation of US law

US law prohibits the President from providing military aid to any country that
“engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognised human rights”. Under the 1967 US Arms Export Control Act, it is illegal to use US weapons to carry out extra-judicial killings. This act stipulates that weapons be sold to “friendly countries solely for internal security and legitimate defence.”

Will you recognize the Nazi accomplishments?

The only drone in this thread appears to be you. The Jew who turns a blind eye to the atrocities being committed by the Fascist state of Israel simply because you are Jewish. You are no different than a proud German supporting the Nazi war machine.

There's one, but I agree with 206, there's a big difference in Criticism and Hate. I to am an Anti-Zionist, not necessarily anti-Israel, because many of those in charge of Israel shouldn't even be running it in the first place. Secondly, Israel pushes over their enemies with force sometimes without even thinking of the consequences i.e. Lebanon, but IMHO Lebanon was at fault there. There's so much wrong withing the Israel nation, until they allow their ethopian brothers to dwell amongst them, until they can accept the truth, bot h from a religious and political aspect, then I can somewhat side with Israel...But not now.

It's up to interpretation, some believe that once all Jews return to Israel we will enter the/a messianic era, rebuild the Third Temple and Messiah will come, others interpret that Jews aren't to return to Israel until Messiah arrives then rebuild the 3rd Temple. (However these beliefs or interpretations can be left to further intrepreations and religious philosophy depending on how one defines Messiah?) Regardless, Israel was created out of necessity for a Jewish State, (some (myself included)) even believe the modern state of Israel would not exist with out divine intervention during the war of independence…

Again, aren’t Moderators supposed to read all posts by all users? There are a plethora of times I shun the actions of Israel against the Palastinians. On multiple occasions I have stated that although I am pro Zionist I do not believe that Israel can do no wrong. Yes there is extreme oppression which has led to abject poverty in the occupied territories, yes I believe that it is imperitive for a two-state Israel/Palastine solution, and yes I still believe that violence only breeds more violence…. However, at the end of the day I still vehemently support Israel’s right to exist, but you can spin that shit however you want, that’s on you..
Comparing Israel to the Nazi’s is eccentric vicious insolence with no basis in reality, unless of course your writing sci-fi or creative writing…

Israel is one of the closest things to a democracy in the world (and once a two state solution becomes a reality, it will be the greatest example of democracy, until then how can it be truly democratic if it denies 4.something million Palestinians a political voice, but Israel is a Jewish State before a democracy)


U know what’s really funny though, you of everyone…. The only place in the middle east where you could go and live the same lifestyle, pursue your commitment to antiestablishment, spout your atheist, communist, poltical tiriades and go home to have a nice hot supper at the end of the day is Israel…. You could damn near get up on a soap box and start spittin’ your shit….

Now try that in any of the neighboring countries which you blindly support so much and watch your head hang high from a light post, real chop

Hmm, well what I don't get is.....why are the most people hating on Jews or Zionists when they first settled in palestine like when the land was theirs before the birth of Christ? What's the reason to hate? Didn't the arabs or palestines steal it and probably were supported by the Romans around 66 ad - 63 bc?

Well when all Israel does is kill and oppress you're damn right I'm going to criticize them. I'm sorry but I haven't seen any headlines on the BBC news lately with positive stories coming from Israel. And why would there be when they are killing Palestinians daily?

Comparing Israel to Nazi’s is ludicrous.
No it is absolutely sensible.

The Israeli rule over Palestinians is essentially fascist. The Israeli's are slaughtering the Palestinians, one of the most brutal, murderous atrocities in modern times and yes it is comparable to that of the Jews being slaughtered by Hitler.

The Nazi’s were looking for the final solution and world domination, Israel fights EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY TO SIMPLY EXIST
No they have embarked on a permanent war of domination in the Middle East.

how many ‘fuck the jews’ ‘kill the jews’
‘fuck Israel’ ‘fuck Zionism’
Fuck/Kill Jews is NOT the same as saying Fuck Zionism/Israel. How many times have you seen "fuck amerika" on this site?

‘the Nazi’s should have finished their job’ or refer to us/me as a Kike
I have not seen any racist remarks like that in this forum. If you ever see a thread where someone uses racist terms against Jews or any other race, PM me because that will not be tolerated in this forum.

If you can’t see this, I must admit you are sure inept as a moderator
Again, aren’t Moderators supposed to read all posts by all users?
I'm sorry you feel that way but there is no way in hell a moderator can read every single post by every single user. It is not possible. This forum for the most part handles itself, that is to say, if there is a problem or unacceptable behavior it is usually reported by to me or another mod/admin by a member rather quickly. I do my best to keep the forum free of remarks like that but I cannot catch everything.

Israel is one of the closest things to a democracy in the world
You my friend are the biggest douchebag on this website and you are living in la la land. I bet you especially love the democracy Israel has unleashed on the Palestinians, allowing them to have free elections, but god for bid they elect Hamas, the members of which are kidnapped, jailed and assassinated on a daily basis.

You must also love the democracy Israel has given to the Palestinian “citizens” of Israel, who I’d like to point out make up over 20% of the population, yet they are prevented from enjoying the same privileges of citizenship as the Jewish population.

With regard to political participation, rights, and representation, Israeli laws directly discriminate against the Israeli Palestinians by restricting the terms of citizenship.

Another fine example of democracy is the Marriage Law, which states marriages between Israeli Palestinians and Palestinians living in the occupied territories will not be recognized by the Israeli state. No such marriage restrictions apply to Jewish Israelis.

Beyond that there are dozens of other legal barriers that prevent Arab citizens from full citizenship.

Israel, with the support of the U.S. Zionist ideologues, i.e the Neo-cons, has embarked on a permanent war of domination in the Middle East, their hatred for Arabs and Muslims is quickly replacing Hitler’s hatred for communists and Jews.

(and once a two state solution becomes a reality, it will be the greatest example of democracy, until then how can it be truly democratic if it denies 4.something million Palestinians a political voice, but Israel is a Jewish State before a democracy)
La la land.

U know what’s really funny though, you of everyone…. The only place in the middle east where you could go and live the same lifestyle, pursue your commitment to antiestablishment, spout your atheist, communist, poltical tiriades and go home to have a nice hot supper at the end of the day is Israel…. You could damn near get up on a soap box and start spittin’ your shit….

Now try that in any of the neighboring countries which you blindly support so much and watch your head hang high from a light post, real chop
Which neighboring country do I blindly support? Jordan? Egypt? Syria? Lebanon? Show me a thread where I once supported any of these countries governments. I'll give you $5,000 cash if you can. I'll save you some time, you can't. It never happened and likely never will. The only support I ever voiced was that for Hezbollah's right to defend themselves from the invading Israeli army, which most the entire world knows was premeditated aggression against Lebanon by Israel, indiscriminate and systematic destruction of the country, (more than 1200 innocent civilians have been killed in a cowardly and Nazi-like fashion, a third of the dead were children under the age of 12-years old). Only a small majority of people, you included, blame Lebanon, which is because you are either too brain washed or too stupid to see otherwise.


It's up to interpretation, some believe that once all Jews return to Israel we will enter the/a messianic era, rebuild the Third Temple and Messiah will come, others interpret that Jews aren't to return to Israel until Messiah arrives then rebuild the 3rd Temple.

Regardless, Israel was created out of necessity for a Jewish State, (some (myself included)) even believe the modern state of Israel would not exist with out divine intervention during the war of independence…
And here lies the beginning to this madness.
