How Israel survived and thrive in middle east?

Just another Greek Guy

Without the $12 billions the Americans are giving them, Israel will self-destruct in 2 weeks.
Everyone instead of working, is in the Jewish army chasing little Palestinian children from dawn to dusk.
The jew politicians are so corrupted that they cannot even visit a foreign country without a warrant.
I am Greek so I know a few things firsthand.

Hard work.

Because Jews from all over Europe moved there, many who were engineers, scientists, professors, farmers and businessmen before World War 2. So they just started over in a new land.

Israel doesn't have much natural resources so they had to rely on there brains to come up with new technologies and medicines to export.

Pragmatism, determination, unity, Western ideology. And I agree-- VERY hard work. Jews moved to "Palestine" (NOT owned by the "Palestinians" of today-- there were just "Arabs" and "Jews") in the late 1800s and early 1900s and began working the land.

Oh, and of course-- the army. For example, the day after part of "Palestine" was given to the Jews by Britain (it was a British colony), all surrounding Arab nations started a war against Israel. (My grandfather was in that war.) Thankfully Israel could defend itself. Same thing with the 1973 Yom Kippur war-in which Israel was attacked on the holiest day of the Jewish year, a surprise. Classy.

miracles. Just like the Miracle of the six days war, just like the pesach (passover) Miracle, and etc.Israel turned a little sliver of desert into a rich country in a span of 60 years while many arab countries were beating down on them.

support from the US. Billions every year. Without it they would fail

Brains
Determination
Education
Hard Work
Military
Faith

While the so called Palestinians:
were not educating themselves
they were too determined to destroy Zionist at all cost
Hard work? somewhat here and there.
Military weak
Faith pretty strong but does not help economically.

By using brains and believing in God.

1/2 of the population of Israel refugee Jews from Arab lands that were thrown out of their country and arrived penniless loosing all wealth and land (collectively 4X's the size of Israel) they never got 1 penny from the UN or anyone. Another huge population are the European refugee's from the holocaust many arrived orphaned. The Ethiopian Jews arrived as refugees fleeing conflict and the Russians arrived impoverished. The whole country is built on waves of immigrants arriving in a refugee state of life and mind and Israel survives by helping each other. It is shameful that Palestinians are still refugees after 60+ years when Israel has absorbed far more refugees and within 1 generation assimilated them into society and within 2 generations you find them working in high levels and elected into government.

Israel survives and exists through pure determination and by helping one another to build the country. It took huge financial hardships on the society to absorb wave after wave of refugee type immigrants, but Israel did it and now benefits from the diversity of the population!

pride in ownership.

Through sacrificing their own personal agendas for the building of the State. But those zionist days are over.

Huge and relentless infusions of American cash,both public and private. Even Chruchill conceded back in the 20s this was the reason for the land reclamation efforts and nothing has changed. They are drenched with capital while the Palestinians are chronically cash-starved.

By killing their Arab hosts and stealing their land of course, since Isaac(Jews) stole Ishmael's(Arabs) inheritance(this according to Hebrew LAW) and, they are STILL doing it in the West Bank and Gaza strips.Can anyone deny this?

The following link shows whom truly made the dessert bloom-it was not the Israelies-these statistics were made by the British under the Bitish Mandate-Arab Palestine was an AGRICULTURAL COUNTRY:

http://www.palestineremembered.com/Acre/Palestine-Remembered/Story665.html

The Jews,according to many experts, even "BORROWED(weak term for stole) the Biblical story from the Arab Ancient Egyptian allegories(i.e.- one God , even VirginBirth):

http://www.egypt-tehuti.org/articles/egypt-bible-similarities.html

The Jews even misinterpeted God's "promised" of RESIDENCY as "OWNERSHIP"-God states VERY CLEARLY whom the LAND BELONGS TO, and it is NOT Israel:

The promise that is the basis of the term "promised land" is contained in Genesis 15:18-21 of the Hebrew Bible:

"On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abrham and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates - the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."

The verse is said to describe what are known as "Borders of the Land" (Gevulot Ha-aretz). In Jewish tradition these borders define the maximum extent of the land promised to the descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac(2nd born-the Jewish lineage and Ishmael the 1st born and the Arab lineage) and grandson Jacob.Even according to Jewish customs, the oldest son, which is Ishmael, is entitled to the father's inheritance, but because Sarah despised Ishmael, she wanted Isaac to get the inheritance and had Abraham exhile Ishmael. Neither is Ishmael illegitimate but the legal son of his SECOND wife Hagar-Genesis 16: "And Sarah Abraham's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abraham had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abraham to be his WIFE(my emphasis).

The promise is made to Abraham and the descendants of his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob, Abraham's grandson as they are all given promise that their descendants will be given a territory from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates river.No where does it say the Israelis/Jews OWNED the land, nor were they to take it from, and, kill the Palestinians. The Israelis/Jews were given a land ONLY to reside in as many Jews already had among the Palestinians.God clearly states whom the land belongs to-"the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites." Of all these people, only the Palestinians whom are considered Canaanites, are still around. Except for Iran and Israel, Arabs own all of what was Canaan. NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT STATE ISRAEL IS TO TAKE ARAB LANDS AND KILL THEM FOR IT.

Interestingly, the Bible states, God will punish the city on the hill(that is Israel) and she shall be brought to her knees for her indiscretions(can only be the Palestinian situation).Nation up on nation shall rise up against her-sounds very familiar-even the US, Israel's strongest supporter, is changing directions. God will intervene, and, Israel will be turned away from her wickedness-a NEW Jerusalem shall arise, possibly shared instead of divided as it is now-Israel has made several failed attempts to unilaterally annex Arab East Jerusalem(part of the West Bank(the UN vetoed it EVERY time, along with non UN countries).

This time, the Palestinians refuse to LEAVE OR BE KILLED as happened in 1948-they chose to stay and fight for their lives and property. A favorite excuse for every unprovoked killing the Israeli army does- "The Arabs were at the wrong place at the wrong time".

Ask yourselves whom is occupying whom's land, causing massive destruction,land thefts, brutality, and killing, then calling the inhabitants terrorists for RETALIAING(in America, this is the reason for "the Right to bear arms"-the British were not half as bad as the Israelies when the Americans RETALIATED-guess according to the Israelies, Americans were terrorists for defending their lives and property-Golly gee Wilikers, what do you know, Americans and Palestinians have something in common.

Thumbs down please, correct me if ANY of what I said, is WRONG.

The question should be the other way around; How Palestinian people survived and thrive in Palestine!

60 years of attempts to eliminate them by this zionist state which is supported by all powerful countries in the world while the Palestinian people have no one to support them.That is the real miracle because God is their only supporter!!!

As for the zionist state, many factors led to its survival such as:
1- Britain
2- US
3-Arab dictators
4-Media
5- $

But once these 5 things are gone, that state is nothing but an ugly history...
