seem to think mere money makes genius, how come the Arab oil exporters are so short of it? They have been given far far more than Israel has ever received.


How many investable companies are in Israel? How many in the rest of the Middle East? I have not counted. It would be a surprise if there are not more investable companies in Israel than all non oil sector companies in the rest of the Middle East.

OPEC wasn't "given" anything. They sold their oil. Because we have assisted the corrupt regimes of which OPEC consists, we cheer on the repression and economic strangulation the rulers perpetrate on their citizens.

Israel was given over 100 billion.

You understand the difference between a gift and a sale, don't you?
