You are comparing apples and oranges Hawk.
As Ray states, Isra'El is a welfare colony propped up by the American and European taxpayer and anyone they can shake down, fellow Jews included.
As a high school student one of my best friends' family went to live in Isra'El, his Father a chemist at the Allied Chemical. Allied was building facilities there and were importing American Jews who wished to make commitment. The story is repeated over and over again in many industries. The not so secret secret is that Isra'El imports everything it claims to produce itself.
As I have stated numerous times, the Arab countries are resource-based economies, still Third World in nature and Isra'El is a Western colony, financed, armed and bolstered by companies such as Intel, Motorola, Sun Microsystems, IBM and many others.
If the American corporations located in Arab countries, the talent is there to build a industrial/technological infrastructure.
I blame Isra'El for its nature, that of a imperial entity, welfare queen and a great source of expense and hatred for America and Jews.
