Ah, you are chosen, I forget - so even simple geography doesn't apply to you. Praise Abraham, Hail Caesar.

And in fact ...
Israel is the only modern democratic society in the region. WIth a GDP of over $17,000 Israel is doing pretty well expecially considering the defense costs. Have you heard of Checkpoint, ICQ, RSA etc? In fact, Intel\ufffds new high-speed Centrino technology\ufffd which doubles battery life on laptops \ufffd was developed entirely in Israel. These are all either Israeli companies or have had significant contributions from Israelis. What have the Arab nations contributed to the world besides suicide bombings?

Israel has done bugger all
Well, not really.
You've given us two great goa psychedelic trance bands - Astral Projection and Infected Mushroom.
And you gave the world the IMI Desert Eagle handgun.
Good job! Not bad for a puppet state.

I guess you don't use a laptop with an Intel Centrino chip
or Pentium with MMX, or ICQ, or Checkpoint, or Windows bidi support, a cell phone with Java, etc. all made in Israel.
And just what has Britian contributed to the world lately?

Re: I guess you don't use a laptop with an Intel Centrino ch
Woo! Consumer Electronics!
Big. Wow.
Centrino - American money (Intel). Java phone - American money (Sun). Windows - American money (Microsoft).
What has Britain contributed to the world? Apart from the telephone, the television, the programmable computer, the hovercraft, supersonic passenger transport, the dictionary, the thesaurus, the suspension bridge, reinforced concrete, the jet engine, and the Spice Girls, nothing much.
Oh, and my favourite invention ever: The Bayliss Freeplay wind-up radio.
