The long-term viability of Israel and its economy is also reflected by its economic indicators, which refute conventional "wisdom."

Irrespective of a cynical and gullible “elite” media, independent of diplomatic pressure, political correctness and conventional wisdom, in defiance of the global economic slowdown, in the face of war and terrorism, and despite ill-advised threats of boycott, divestment and sanctions—but, due to principle-driven tenacity, inherent optimism, human capital/brain power, creativity, cutting edge ingenuity and breakthrough, game-changing innovations—Israel’s economy is expanding beyond expectations, reacting constructively to pressures/challenges, and developing unique commercial and security niches in response to local and global needs.

For example, the April 10 issue of Financial Times reported that “Israel’s cyber security technologies claim 10% of the world’s investments, and Israel’s exports exceed $3bn…. Buy Swiss watches from Switzerland and information security from Israel.... Israel built its cyber-related offensive, defensive and snooping functions as a byproduct of its regional conflicts, ‘turning lemons into lemonade’ (Udi Mokady, CEO of CyberArk)....”

Nothing about the political state of Israel is common.

That which is brought about by the power of God cannot obey the rules offered by men.

If you wish to understand the status of the state of Israel, one must study the prophecies concerning Judah in the ancient scriptures.

Having worked in Israel, I can tell you Israelis are some of the hardest working people on the planet.
Hard work and a REAL education is how they do it.
Wages suck and cost of living there is really expensive.
I don’t know how they do it.
