What you have linked to is an index of economic freedom. It does not measure civil liberties or political freedom. I think that makes your post just a tad dishonest.

Without economic freedom, there is no freedom. And don't tell me the people can vote to change it. Once you get socialism so entrenched, too many people are feeding off others to change a thing. It usually takes a war, a serious depression or a revolution to change those types of societies.

Like I said, don't let me stop you from relocating to the UAR. Hey, with their wonderful economic freedom they'll probably have a free press any day.

You types will utter any form of stupidity utterly without embarrassment in order to slur Israel, won't you? Try telling us that pigs only fly in Arab countries next time. That's about as credible.

Here is a wonderful story from the freedom-loving United Arab Emirates.

Dubai court endorses wife beating

Moving, isn't it, how the economic freedom of the glorious Emirates has brought women to the point that their husbands can only beat them if they don't "damage her bones or deform her body." Wow!

I'm sure it will take socialist Israel decades to reach this pitch of Enlightenment.
