THIS LITTLE SHITTY COUNTRY!!!!!
Here is a capsule of accomplishments you may not be fully aware of.
I thought you might find these statistics interesting.
The Middle East has been growing date palms for centuries. The average
tree is about 18-20 feet tall and yields about 38 pounds of dates a year.

be harvested from the ground or a short ladder.
Israel, the 100th smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the world's population, can lay claim to the following:

Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world.
Israel produces more scientific papers per capita than any other
nation by a large margin - 109 per 10,000 people - as well as one of
the highest per capita rates of patents filed.
In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of start-up
companies in the world. In absolute terms, Israel has the largest number
of start-up companies than any other country in the world, except the U.S.
(3,500 companies mostly in hi-tech). With more than 3,000 high-tech companies and start-ups, Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies in the world -- apart from the Silicon Valley, US.
Israel is ranked #2 in the world for venture capital funds right behind the US.
Outside the United States and Canada, Israel has the largest number
of NASDAQ listed companies.
Israel has the highest average living standards in the Middle East.
The per capita income in 2000 was over $17,500, exceeding that of the UK.
On a per capita basis, Israel has the largest number of biotech start-ups.

Twenty-four per cent of Israel's workforce holds university degrees,
ranking third in the industrialized world, after the United States and
Holland and 12 per cent hold advanced degrees.
Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.
In 1984 and 1991, Israel airlifted a total of 22,000 Ethiopian Jews at
risk in Ethiopia, to safety in Israel.
When Golda Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1969, she
became the world's second elected female leader in modern times.
When the U. S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya was bombed in 1998, Israeli
rescue teams were on the scene within a day - and saved three victims
from the rubble.
Israel has the third highest rate of entrepreneurship - and the
highest rate among women and among people over 55 - in the world.
Relative to its population, Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing
nation on earth. Immigrants come in search of democracy, religious
freedom, and economic opportunity.
Israel was the first nation in the world to adopt the Kimberly process,
an international standard that certifies diamonds as "conflict free."

Israel has the world’s second highest per capita of new books.
Israel is the only country in the world that entered the 21st century
with a net gain in its number of trees, made more remarkable because

Medicine... Israeli scientists developed the first fully computerized,
no-radiation, diagnostic instrumentation for breast cancer.
An Israeli company developed a computerized system for ensuring proper
administration of medications, thus removing human error from medical
treatment. Every year in US hospitals 7,000 patients die from
treatment mistakes.
Israel's Givun Imaging developed the first ingestible video camera,
so small it fits inside a pill. Used to view the small intestine from the
inside, the camera helps doctors diagnose cancer and digestive disorders.
Researchers in Israel developed a new device that directly helps the
heart pump blood, an innovation with the potential to save lives among
those with heart failure. The new device is synchronized with the heart's
mechanical operations through a sophisticated system of sensors.
Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in
the workforce, with 145 per 10,000, as opposed to 85 in the US, over
70 in Japan and less than 60 in Germany. With over 25% of its work force
employed in technical professions. Israel places first in this category as well.
A new acne treatment developed in Israel, the Clear Light device,
produces a high-intensity, ultraviolet-light-free, narrow-band blue light that
causes acne bacteria to self-destruct -- all without damaging surrounding
skin or tissue.
An Israeli company was the first to develop and install a large-scale
Solar-powered and fully functional electricity generating plant, in
southern California's Mojave desert.

All the above while engaged in regular wars with an implacable enemy
that seeks its destruction, and an economy continuously under strain by
having to spend more per capita on its own protection than any other
country on earth.
AND THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR IN ENGLAND SAYS ISRAEL IS NOTHING BUT A SHITTY LITTLE COUNTRY!!!
