Israel’s GDP is 201,761 USD according to a 2008 List by the International Monetary Fund. (Which is higher than New Zealand) How do they have such an economy when it is at war on all fronts?

just because the countries don’t get along does not mean they don’t still trade products on the market

It is not at war. And it also has a lot to do with the fact that we give them billions in AID every year for the last dozens of decades. What do we get in return? They SPY on us and they genocide ARABS.

War is generally very good for an economy, not that they are at war.
March 12th, 2010 at 10:13 am

Israelis are very innovative people, especially where technology is concerned. Agricultural advancements-making the desert “bloom”-is what Israelis are famous for. They also have made medical advancements-robots tiny enough to be swallowed by a person so that doctors can study them from the inside out and can be passed out in excretion. In fact, I would say that paranoid Israel conspiracy theorist should be anti-universal health care. . . Israel will be the ones developing all the new medical technologies when that happens. The Israeli music industry is phenomenal, too.
There is also the fact that they export a lot of things that the worldwide Jewish population likes-such as religious things, or Jewish versions of games.
Additionally, there is the matter of tourism. Israel has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. . . and women don’t have to wear burkas to them. It attracts lots of Christians and Jews, alike.
Also, Israelis own businesses. I know this comes as a surprise to many, but Jews are damn good at running business. And no matter how many nut jobs try to boycott privately-owned Jewish enterprises because they believe themselves to be political activists, many more use them because of their much higher quality.

Funny that. It’s ALMOST AS IF Israel was the unofficial 51st state of a mysterious, un-named country which has a vested interest in having a millitary presence in the Middle East, and provides Israel with aircraft, weapons and even nukes, whilst also keeping the UN off their backs whenever they massacre Palestinian civillians in contravention of the Geneva convention.
Since that CAN’T POSSIBLY be true, I guess they’re just really good at online poker or something.

Why do you ask such a question, when the answer is right in front of your face biblically and realistically. I give you the answer. Israel has two strong allies, that has been helping Israel since 1950 something. Who gives Israel weapons that they modify themselves. Who took Germany,which was smart enough to get a great deal on two submarines and had them refiitted for nuclear use. It is factually known that United States and Britain support Israel, and remeber there are many Israelites all over the world. They are all good and swift when it comes to business deals. Some are very devious with deals that make you feel it is a win win deal, Bernie Maedoff classic example of what helps the state of Israel survive. Wheel and deal in the devil’s world. Not all Jews are Jewish. They claim the name and high jinx the religion like most to support the country. How much does the United States give a lot of money to Israel to maintain its economy and military along with all the businesses they own in the US and abroad. Don’t worry about how, check closely again to who really hold what controls anywhere especially our media.

Because America is its bitch and we’ll support them no matter what. As far as war on all fronts, you don’t know $hit. The Zionist entity has quiet borders with Jordan and Egypt. Lebanon is not going to do anything because its military is f’n weak, even by Arab standards.

Surrounded on all sides!! All countries are surrounded on all sides.
1- On south: Egypt is shamefully their friend.
2- On east: Ordon is shamefully their friend.
3- On west: Mediterrian sea, connects them to Europe, Africa, as well as high seas.
4- On North: It’s only Lebanon which is not their friend.

Israel is not in an actual war with any country or terrorist organization. It is in a state of war with Syria (with which it negotiates since the 90’s), Iran and Hezbollah, and in an ongoing confined conflict with Hamas.
The Israeli economy flourishes mainly because of the advanced high tech industry it has, especially in the field of military technology. In addition, the Israeli government receives funding from the American government and Jewish donors from all over the world.
However, although Israel maintains a relatively stable economy, it suffers from one of the highest levels of socio-economic inequality in the Western world.
