Name the only country in the world where UN approval is required to build an apartment complex.
While you're at it, what would you call a country where you have to live with the idea that the pizza place you're eating at could just blow up without any warning?
And, while you're at that, name the only country in the world vilified for not making peace with an enemy that pays its citizens to send family members to blow themselves up on public buses.
What's Israel done for us? Well, lets see:
*IMI fixed the M3 Bradley, which is used to transport our troops safely on the battlefield.
*Israeli industry invented Beta-Interferon which is used to treat MS.
*The endoscopic capsule, designed to image the digestive system without using a tube scope
*they're working on finishing a drug called Antitryspin, it'll cure Type-1 Diabetes
*they're working on a new drug which will greatly slow the progression of HIV in Africa, and even prevent it in those exposed to HIV.
But, while they weren't curing you, or protecting our troops, they have brought life to the desert with advancements in irrigation and agriculture, invented modern flash based drives (that'd be your camera memory card, and usb drive), and developed microprocessors in your computer for Intel.
Israelis won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2004, and 2009, and for Economics in 2002 and 2005.
