"Israel's $100 billion economy is larger than all of its immediate neighbors combined."

This is amazing cosidering that Israel is roughly the size of Massachusetts.

>Israel is roughly the size of Massachusetts

In fact, Israel
is something like a thousand
square miles smaller than

New Hampshire. Here are
some interesting totals
of land areas:

Israel: 8,019 sq mi

Massachusetts 10,554.57 sq mi
New Hampshire 9,349.94 sq mi
Vermont 9,614.26 sq mi

Jordan 35,637 sq mi
Syria 71,498 sq mi
Egypt 386,660 sq mi

Have you noticed that
when the TV scum show "maps"
of the Middle East,

they always manage
to cut and crop and edit
so that Israel

is portrayed -- appears! --
as if it's the biggest state
in the whole region!
