No, that's not what I mean. Israel has contributed much to the scientific knowledge of this world. The Palestinians have contributed nothing. In terms of phones, you could describe Israel as an iPhone; it is designed for both function and beauty, has art, entertainment, culture, and education. Palestine would be, well, like an andriod phone. A sorry excuse for a phone, which, if it were eliminated from the world, no one would notice at all. No one would even care. Everyone knows this.

My bad. I thought you meant the iPhone, like Israel, has unethical blockades that prevent people from delivering basic goods/apps to those who want/need it because of draconian policies that don't really make sense. And the Android, like Palestine ... well, I can't fully figure this part of the analogy out but it would likely involve the thing being a sock puppet for an organization that has much more nefarious goals in mind.
