My point (#6) was in reference to the article stating that the Shah inaugurated a ban on travelling to Israel because he didn’t want Iranians to visit “communist countries”. The point is that Israel since its formation and because of its laws (including those for immigration & acquisition of Israeli citizenship) is Not & has never been a “communist” country!
Yes. I see.
But it wasn’t for lack of trying! Israel, even more than the USA, has a socialist establishment with all the danger and troubles that implies. It’s less than it used to be, but they’re still there.
