Understanding the Myth of Israeli Superiority
The close relationship between the US and Israel has been one of the most salient features in US foreign policy for nearly four decades. The $3 billion in military and economic aid sent annually to Israel by Washington is rarely questioned in Congress, even by liberals who normally challenge US aid to governments that engage in widespread violations of human rights, or by conservatives who usually oppose foreign aid in general.

Although British influence in the Middle East has been replaced by American influence, the US is committed to protecting Israel, guaranteeing her security and securing a prosperous standard of living for the Jews living there. However this is not out of any moral obligation but due to strategic interests. It is these interests that have resulted in support of all types to Israel. With the population of the Palestinian territories forecasted to overtake that of Israel’s by 2019, Israel needs a strong economy to attract Jewish migration from across the world and then to maintain a high standard of living for them.

A cursory glance at Israel’s economy shows it is poor in natural resources; Israel depends on imports of oil, coal, food, production inputs and military equipment. Through a variety of agreements, deals and support from the West Israel has managed to develop the foundation of an industrial economy. With a population the size of Scotland Israel has an economy worth $185 billion. The European Union, US, Turkey, Mexico, Canada, Jordan and Egypt, have signed free trade agreements with Israel which means they all trade without any restrictions, which has helped Israel in procuring raw materials.

Foreign markets are critical for Israel. Due to having a very small domestic market (due to its small population) it is forced to search for foreign markets to generate wealth. Industrialised nations generally focus 10% of their economy towards foreign trade (imports and exports). However 30% of the Israeli economy relies on exports, which is very high. Israel’s main exports 10 years ago were Jaffa oranges and other agricultural products. Today’s exports are increasingly high-tech, an estimated 80% of the products Israel exports are high-tech and electronics components. However Israel is finding that it’s light years behind Japan, China and Germany in this very competitive sector. 40% of Israeli exports end up on US shores even though the US can make the same agricultural goods and computer hardware cheaper and of better quality.

Because of the strategic role Israel plays in the Middle East it has been spoilt with military hardware and technology which would have otherwise taken it decades to develop. Israel is reliant upon foreign nations and people for its survival, without which is simply could not exist due to the geographical challenges it face

Most "israel" exports are good oranges (palestinian lands stolen), torture devices then some electronic instruments.

sex slavery and drugs is also a flourishing black economy.

take a look, if each palestian or egyptian get the same US dollars Aid that israel has, they will reach at that level of "superiority"!

Making matters even worse about 71% of the aid donated to the Palestinians winds up in Israel's economy.

"Aid to the Palestinians and the Israeli Economy

With all the aid given to the Palestinians in the previous decades, one would expect that the economy would have grown and that by now the Palestinians would be self-sufficient. The opposite is true.

"Although in several years Palestinian GNI has grown, this growth should be attributed to the population growth. As is shown in figure 3, GNI per capita has in fact decreased in this period of 15 years, from $1,590 in 1994 to $1,459 in 2008.

"Part of the aid might have covered up the population growth in this period, but the amounts of aid given to the Palestinians are simply too large for this to have been the only destination of the aid.

"While in the period between 1994 and 2008 ODA was 15.5 billion dollars, in the same period total GNI increased by only 1.8 billion dollars. For the years 1995 until 2008 the cumulative increase in GNI compared to 1994 is 14.8 billion dollars. If this total increase in GNI would be attributed to foreign aid, there would have been no normal economic growth.

"Which would be a strange situation indeed. Furthermore, ODA represents only a share of total aid given to the Palestinians, meaning that total aid given in this period is (much) higher than the cumulative income growth.

"Therefore, it seems that part of the aid has vanished."
 
Israel is in the top 6 arms suppliers to the world.

Dealers in death and terror and suppliers of death and terror.

They infamously were one of the few countries in the world who traded weapons with apartheid South Africa, perhaps thats were they learnt their apartheid strategy.
 
Israel is the largest total recipient of direct economic and military assistance from the United States since World War II, and it was the largest annual recipient from 1976 to 2003

why 4 millions citizens receive more economic aid than Palestine or big country like Egypt?!
 
can you answer:
why a fistful of israeli receive more money aid than Egypt (75M)?
 
New York Times: Israel, The Silicon Valley Of The Middle East...
Jews are a famously accomplished group. They make up 0.2 percent of the world population, but 54 percent of the world chess champions, 27 percent of the Nobel physics laureates and 31 percent of the medicine laureates. Jews make up 2 percent of the U.S. population, but 21 percent of the Ivy League student bodies, 26 percent of the Kennedy Center honorees, 37 percent of the Academy Award-winning directors, 38 percent of those on a recent Business Week list of leading philanthropists, 51 percent of the Pulitzer Prize winners for nonfiction.

Tel Aviv has become one of the world's foremost entrepreneurial hot spots. Israel has more high-tech start-ups per capita than any other nation on earth, by far. It leads the world in civilian research-and-development spending per capita. It ranks second behind the U.S. in the number of companies listed on the Nasdaq. Israel, with seven million people, attracts as much venture capital as France and Germany combined.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell...
Aid to Israel is vital to the security interests of the United States. It ensures that one of America's closest allies has the tools it needs to survive in one of the world's toughest neighborhoods

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi...
I have always fought for the vital economic and military assistance that Israel needs--not only because it is in Israel's best interest, but because it is in America's interest

Israel is now a major factor in commerce and in the world, and, is a smaller replica of what has been accomplished in the US and I think Americans admire that. They feel good about a society that is on the move
