Israel is a socialist state with gov’t run health care, a robust welfare system, and a high progressive income tax
Ongoing battle for that land. Muslims seem to be winning at the moment.
If the Jewish race was persecuted so harshly in the early 40’s as we all seem to believe, then why won’t the ancestors fight?
Can’t wrap my head around it, oh wait.. Is it to wipe out the Christians?
“socialist” as in the only serious non-oilbased stock market in the middle east? “socialist” as in having a market economy which the government doesn’t rule by fiat, which occurs in the Islam nations it borders? “Socialist” as in ruled by the people instead of a dictator (or King, General, “King Salman” is no different than General Secretary Salman in practice).?
I'm also baffled by the author's reliance on Freedom House as a credible source of information on global affairs. I always understood the organization to be a bunch of big-government globalists. Interestingly, their own website lists the following organizations among their top level of financial supporters:
Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights
Global Affairs Canada
Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
U.S. Agency for International Development
U.S. Department of State
What kind of U.S. non-profit and "non-partisan" organization would conduct business this way?
