2. False. Israel is not richer than the surrounding Arab countries, and its population (6 million) is tiny compared to theirs (300 million), and its land mass is 0.01% of the Middle East. Nor does it have military superiority if you count men and material - quite the reverse. It's just always been better at using them. Nor was the wealth there when the Zionists arrived - they created it.

If you want to do that, I could expand the comparison of whites in southern Africa to blacks on all of Africa. Thats nonsense. I'm looking only at the region the whites held control over, and the same in the ME. In both cases, the whites/Jews are much richer than the other ethnic group under their control, they have much stronger military forces, and are the recent immigrants. In southern Africa, they were also significantly smaller in numbers, where in Israel, the numbers are more equal.

BTW, in the late 1800's the white/black ratio in S. Africa was close to unity, while now, 120 years later it is more like 10:1. Food for thought wrt to the ME.

3. No; not even true anymore inside Israel & the territories; certainly not true in the surrounding states. Who has the oil?

The surronding states are irrelevant. Inside Israel, I'd say water, ag land and religious sites are the prime objects. I think Jewish control dominates these.
