If anyone thinks of saying a thing about Egypt, well let me give you the rough numbers here :

Eygpt from the CIA factbook
Israel from the CIA factbook

Egypt
Population: 77,505,756

Israel
Population: 6,276,883

I am pretty sure it's well known that the Egyptians will starve without the aids!

How much insentive is given to those who wish to invest in Egypt, nothing. Israel on the other hand, you get the Zionist eating out of your hand. The aid is often just used to feed people instead of building infrastructure, or pocketed by corrupt politicians and relief workers. But who the hell is going to build a state of the art facility like a CPU fab in Cairo? I doubt many investors even have Egypt on their radar.

There is just something about Jewish people. They are self driven. In NJ we have wealthy communities that are heavily populated with Jewish families. These people own businesses and are very educated. I work for a very successful security company that was started in 1978 by a Jew named Kaplan and his company is IPC International. It's the biggest security outfit today and they had just recently bought out one of the b iggest security firms in Great Britain.

Anyway, what i'm trying to say is that the value money and education. They are always inversting heavily and keep the money within their communities. They own huge corporations and do extremely well financially. Of course I'm generalizing here but you get the point.

I don't think anyone can disagree about that, but what I like about Jews is that they know what they want, mainly I don't agree with what they want (because it means the anhilation of my people), however they remain impressive when it comes to accomplishing objectives, I think if my people get a couple maybe three more centuries of persecution we'll be there at some point

Israel would be a much better (and more prosperous) country if they just dumped socialism.

France also sold weapons to Iraq. They continually bad-mouth the U.S. Don't ever be shocked to see them bad-mouth Israel or any other close ally.

They are literally the "back-stabbers of Europe" IMO.

Funny thing is that little country could whip the french military easy.

The arguments are really not strong at all, I am saying since Israel is that sophisticated, advanced, economically successful country with investments, research , markets and what not, why the hell do they need the aids then ?
Palestine, Egypt and the others can barely offer the basics to their citizens no ?

It's cause they have 300 million people around them who are trying to kill them.

Because there is a strong Jewish lobby in the U.S. That's why they 'need' aide.

Being Jewish I will tell you the secrete of why it seems so many of us are successful. Out of all the Jews I have met almost all stress education just as much or more then religion. If you not well off you will be looked down on by your Jewish neighbors. This idea has been passed down for almost 2000 years. Its like keeping up with the jones but more extreme as you use your kids to make sure they just as good or better .

We probably give aid to almost every country in the world.

I bet you could replace Jewish & Jews with Asians and it would remain true.

I agree 100%! For the most part education is the key that leads to success. While the gentiles are out playing in the green covered fields the Jews are at home studying and working on the academic skills.

ALL HAIL OUR JEWISH LEADERS.

It seems to me like all that success is being squandered on socialist schemes.

We do, but the largest recipient by far is this little country in the middle east. You've probably heard of it. It's called Israel. They are not the poorest or the most populace country we give aid to, but they still get the most. To the tune of over $3B per year or 30% of our foreign aid budget.

2005 GDP

Israel $103.7 bil

Egypt $89.9 bil
Jordan $9.3 bil
Syria $20.8 bil
Lebanon $17.3
Total $137.3
Per the Economist 2005 World in Figures.

At least that part is BS.

Add in Saudi Arabia $188.5 for close although not immediate.

US aid to Israel is in the multi-billions. I didn't spend enough time to get the exact figure but I think the direct aid is in the area of $5bil + military assistance etc.

If I really have to look at a group of people and be really impressed, I would say Japan basically pwns Israel, they took 2 A bombs and now they are economically only 2nd to the US meanwhile technologically they are # 1.

Japan has something like 30-40X the population of Israel. On the other hand, if you look at per-capita GDP, Israel is only a few percent behind.

You are a Arabist, we get it.

Japan is not surrounded by murderous, despotic countries who are supporting terrorism. Japan is not hated around the world for being Japanese. Japan is not questioned night and day about its right to exist. Japan has around 130 million people, Israel has around 6 million. Japan was set up by the United States, keep in mind. If we did not put in place those Democratic institutions, would Japan be as prosperous as today?

Japan owns a lot of countries if you go by economic figures. It "owned" China before this decade. It "owns" many European countries.

You points don't hold much.

And Israel was planted and supported by Europe and the US so what's your point ?

We give the money to Israel to pay them not to sell advanced weaponry to our enemies.

This is absolutely false, a large portion of the manufacturing is now done outside of the US.

You should do better research before making assertions. You can read the following article for some more details, but here's a basic quote.

Intel has several facilities in Israel, including two chip factories. We had the chance to visit Fab18, located in Kiryat Gat, which manufactures Pentium 4 chips in 90 nm process and also chipsets and flash memories.

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/253

While I'll have to do some more research, the claim the Pentium 4 was developed in Israel was made prior to it even coming out.

Intel?s popular Pentium 3 chip was developed in Israel. Its faster, next-generation version, Pentium 4, is currently under development in Israel, too.

The statement was at least partially correct. Its only when you adjust for Purchasing Power Parity that you get higher numbers for Egypt. Egypt's raw GDP was 81.47 billion dollars.
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/eg.html

In comparison Israel's raw GDP was 123.7 billion dollars.
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/is.html

My suspicion is that for Saudi Arabia before recent oil price increased occured, it WAS in fact lower than Israel's as far as raw GDP was concerned. Keep in mind how much oil prices per barrel have gone up recently, and how heavily reliant Saudi Arabia upon oil for thier economy. I believe that the statement was likely correct when that list was originally created, it merely is no longer correct due to the increase in oil prices since then.
