They deserve all the happiness they can get. The 20th century was not very kind to the Jewish people.

Evidently, something called “Iron Dome” works and it makes them happy.

“An intimate society that runs on trust and generates hope”

IOW, they're a homogeneous society, with a shared ethnicity and religion. And their government and media celebrates the history and culture of that ethnicity and religion.

Homogeneity is a good foundation for creating bonds of trust and shared interests.

Diversity is a weakness.

But the media, government, and universities are telling the West that preserving and celebrating its white Christian heritage is racism, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia. So the West has been denied the happiness and trust of homogeneity.

And now they're chipping away at Japan.

Be careful. It is hard to attribute victimization for groups without similarly attributing blame.

Imagine how happy they’d be if they didn’t spend time meddling in the world’s affairs with AIPAC and the NGOs that have DESTROYED EUROPE AND NOW DESTROYED AMERICA. Back then, they could leave Germany and Poland and Russia and had America to go to. Now? Nowhere will be safe. They hate Christianity so much, they imported MUSLIMES and the turd wold to ruin Western Civilization, and will kvetch to us to help save them yet again when islam starts doing what islam always does.

If we were allowed to have our own ethno-state, we would be happy too. Living in a nation with your own people who share common heritage, language, culture and ethnic background is very good for a people.

They have a beautiful country.

Tel Aviv is home to most of Israel’s foreign embassies.[b] It is a beta+ world city and is ranked 57th in the 2022 Global Financial Centres Index. Tel Aviv has the third- or fourth-largest economy and the largest economy per capita in the Middle East. The city currently has the highest cost of living in the world. Tel Aviv receives over 2.5 million international visitors annually.

A “party capital” in the Middle East, it has a lively nightlife and 24-hour culture. The city is gay-friendly, with a large LGBT community.

The tiny state of Israel’s per capita GDP is on par with most Western European nations at $54,660, while in Palestinian territories the per capita GDP is $3789.00.
