Re: Arabs buy goods 'made in Israel'
Please dont condemn them for their success. Can you answer why is it that we did not get investment - is it because rich jews help rich jews and rich muslims hire foreigners? We did get investments, we still do. Pakistan in the last year has been blessed with bribes. Oddly enough, corruption can really help us right now but most of it's leaving our country.
There is a comparison, you're just not digging deep enough to see it. A reminder, in 2001-2002 Israel was number 3 on the US's list of development grants. Pakistan was number 4. If you want even newer statistics, last year Pakistan fell to number 7(USD590million), Israel took an even larger stumble - it stood at 9(USD525million). Israel has had no advantage over Pakistan from the US in recent years.
Just for fun, guess who came in 1rst last year? It rhymes with a rack.
I've got an itching that the reason we have no infrastruction in our countries is our own doing, or are you telling me Israel makes our people illegally overthrow elected leaders? Wait a second, dont we have a crook leading our country? The same crook who's so well liked he's afraid of leaving the capital.
In all sincerity I wish and pray Pakistan sees some good from the prosperity we see today. We as a people can easily do something with our great country, it truly is. We had a democracy that was ours, we can reclaim it. We're not condemned to poverty, illiteracy, isolation and intolerance - yet. We're blessed with the natural resources and people to develop a future where issues like this will not matter to us. One day we will not see a label with Israel's name on it and sigh in disgust without cause, we'll grow up one day and clean up what is ours before we devote so much time to Israel. Lets work to make ourselves a little better before we run out of excuses for failing as badly as we very likely will.
