I used to think Israel was the smartest country in the world.
What happened?
RE: I used to think Israel was the smartest country in the world.
Smart ( as in high IQ ) does not necessarily equate to WISE.
Their own history shows how foolish their ancestors have been time and again.
There’s a lot of fear in Israel and I guess as a former Anti-Semite who used to crank call the synagogue among other things when I was a kid have to accept some sort of responsibility for sending the wrong message to Jewish people.
I’m a Zionist nowadays in the Menachem Begin tradition of seeing Judea and Samaria as Jewish territory.
Most of the pols in Israel would sell out the Jews who live there IMHO for some peace deal and $$$$ deal with the Gulf Arabs.
Well in some ways they’re still smarter than us. They’re still doing more research on other cures for COVID-19.
