A follow-up on my earlier comment on the strength of Israel’s economic system vs the Arab World....
Since 1948 when Israel was founded, the Muslim population in Israel has grown 10-fold. The total US population growth over that same period has only doubled.
Muslims move to and remain in Israel because they are much better off financially than the Muslims in the Arab countries and they appear to be able to practice their religion as long as it doesn’t involve harming non-Muslims.
This is similar to the case where Muslims in the US are better off than Muslims in the Arab world.
The Arab countries have a total population of 465,000,000, about 50 times the population of Israel. The Jewish population in the Arab countries is now significantly less than 10,000 a very, very small fraction of the population. The Jews stay out of the Arab World because of persecution and a bad economic environment.
The fact that the Jews rule over 8,000 square miles of Israel vs the 5,000,000 square miles of the Arab world is certainly beneficial for the Jews who live there. It’s good for the Muslims who live there as well. |

I would suggest that making Israel 100,000 square miles would be a huge benefit to the Arab world, it would demand a Singaporean style of benign "dictatorship".

Sig it's a real factor but more as at a trade level.
Trade makes both parties richer, "The Gains From Trade Theorem" and by having bodies of population in multiple countries has grown this a lot. And as you say much help also from others.

The response... "US aid to Israel varies depending on the type of aid and the year. Here's a breakdown: Military Aid: There's a long-term agreement for the US to provide Israel with at least $3.8 billion annually in military aid until 2028. In 2022, which is the most recent year with finalized data, Israel received $3.3 billion in military aid. Total Aid: In some situations, there may be additional supplemental military aid provided by the US. For instance, in 2024, due to the recent conflict with Hamas, the US provided additional aid bringing the total to $12.5 billion. It's important to note that most US aid to Israel is military aid." [End of Gemini response.]
My additional comment.
Israel's 2022 per capita GDP was $54,000.
The $3.3 billion of US aid to Israel in 2022 was $330 per person.

The United States provided Israel considerable economic assistance from 1971 to 2007, but nearly all U.S. aid today goes to support Israel’s military, the most advanced in the region. The United States has provisionally agreed via a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to provide Israel with $3.8 billion per year through 2028. |

Another question: how much has US aid to the rest of the middle east been?
Some samples:
Jordan: $1.2 Billion Syria: $894 Million Palestine: $107 Million
Israel: $6 Million
Yeah, those Zionists are REALLY running the US, aren't they?

How does Israel use the aid?
Most of the aid—approximately $3.3 billion a year—is provided as grants under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services. In October, the Joe Biden administration said Israel had nearly six hundred active FMF cases, totalling around $24 billion.www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-chartsYes, absolutely and wholly, the Zionists are running the USA. And it goes beyond simply formal aid to Israel. Our "special partnership" with Israel is more like the partnership between a farmer and his mule.

Well the Israelis are not playing around. They apparently hacked into Hezbollah pagers placing a small explosive charge in them. Today they set off 3000 of these explosive devices and injured 3000 and killed 9. Apparently it may be a prelude to some type of Israeli attack on Lebanon.
