Re: How long will colonial state of israel going to survive ? Depends on its technol
The originator of this thread says that Israel will loose support from the US, highly unlikely. Even if that happes, Israel has excellent relations with China, India, the EU, and even Russia. Israelis are covering all their bases, the Arabs are not. Israel has powerful friends, and will continue to.
As for technology, I don't see the Islamic world ever catching up. Not in its current state. I can't think of a single world class university in the Arab or Islamic world, only seminaries. The Arabs have had oil money for decades but still rely on foreign expertise for extraction and refining. Even with the oil money, there education class and rate is horrible.
I don't see Israel ever loosing its edge over the Arabs.
Frustration aside, Arabs really need to sit down and negotiate. Israel will survive, the Arabs are going to end up killing each other.
What you have said about Israel is what people used to say about Soviet Union that it will never disappear, it is the second superpower in the world, no one can touch it. Where is Soviet union today?
