JUUTALAISASUTUS &
JUUTALAISTEN KARKOTUKSET (i) ARABIMAISTA (ii) KAUTTA MAAILMAN
i) Valtamedia välittää hysteriaa, että Israel ajaa arabit alueeltaan.
Jos tämä on totta, niin miksi arabimaiden juutalaisväestö on viime
vuosikymmenten aikana nitistetty Marokosta Indonesiaan, mutta Israelin
arabiväestö kasvaa? Kuka tietää, että vielä 30-luvulla joka neljäs vastaantulija
Bagdadin kadulla oli juutalainen? Israelin ulkopuolella asuneilla Lähi-idän
juutalaisilla (mizrahim) on vuosituhantinen tai puolivuosituhantinen (sefardim)

Itse asiassa Israelin hallinnon alaisuudessa arabiväestö on
kymmenkertaistunut 57 vuodessa, mikä on lähellä maailmanennätystä koko
Tellus-planeetalla kyseisenä ajankohtana.
Minne on unohtunut juutalaisten vuosituhantinen kulttuurin käymisaine
muslimimaissa? Sefardijuutalaisten historia ulottui Espanjan-karkotukseen
(samaan päivään kun Kolumbus nosti ankkurinsa vuonna 1492). Mizrahijuutalaisten
historia alueella ulottui 2500 vuoden taakse. Menneisyys opettaisi, että nämä
sillanrakentajat välittivät meille kulttuuria arabialaisista numeroista
shakkipeliin Euroopan pimeinä vuosisatoina.
Toista intifadaa kutsutaan Israelissa sarkastisesti "Oslon sodaksi". Israel on
joutunut tuhoamaan itse rakentamaansa infrastruktuuria Oslon rauhansopimuksessa
kiellettyjä aseita jahdatessaan. Israelin hallinnon aikana (1967-1993)
Länsirannalle ja Gazan alueelle perustettiin katuja, teitä, viemäröinti, sähkö-
ja vesihuolto, kouluja, terveydenhuolto ja sosiaalihuolto. Ideaalina pidettiin,
että arabit ovat saaneet samasta työstä samaa palkkaa kuin juutalaiset ja samat
sosiaaliset edut.
Arabiväestölle terveyspalvelut ovat olleet ilmaisia, vain lääkkeistä on täytynyt
maksaa osa. Palestiinalaisilla ei perustettu yliopistoja Britannian (1920-1947)
ja Jordanian (1948-1967) hallintokausilla. The Association of Arab
Universitiesin mukaan (http://www.aaru.edu.jo/) Israelin hallintokaudella
Länsirannalle ja Gazaan ilmestyi 6 yliopistoa, toki pääasiassa arabien omin
voimin. Jerusalemissa on ilmestynyt 1969 lähtien riippumaton arabiankielinen
sanomalehti, jota ei ole koskaan sensuroitu.
Palestiinalaisten elinikä kohosi 48:sta 72 vuoteen 1967-95. Kuolleisuusnopeus
laski yli kaksi kolmasosaa 1970-90 välillä ja Israelin lääketieteelliset
ohjelmat laskivat lapsikuolleisuuden arvosta 60 per 1000 vuonna 1968 arvoon 15
per 1000 vuonna 2000 (Irakissa luku oli 64, Egyptissä 40, Jordaniassa 23,
Syyriassa 22). Vuosina 1967-1988 perus- ja toisen asteen koulujen määrä kasvoi
35%. Vuosina 1970-1986 kouluja käymättömien naisten määrä laski 67 %:sta 32
%:iin. Länsirannalla ja Gazassa 1968-91 BKT per asukas kohosi 165 dollarista
1715 dollariin (vertaa Turkin 1630$, Tunisian 1440$, Jordanian 1050$, Syyrian
800$, Egyptin 600$ ja Jemenin 400$).
2000-luvun finanssikriisissä vain kolmen valtion keskuspankit ovat nostaneet korkoaan. Nämä ovat Australia, Israel ja Norja. Jälkimmäisessä on poliittinen keskuspankki ja talous on lähes pelkkää öljyä, joten sitä ei voi verrata kahteen oikeaan markkinatalousmaahan. Australiankin hyvän taloustilan selittää vienti Kiinaan ja suhteellinen läheisyys markkinoihin. Israel on kaukana kasvavista talouksista, ympärillään sitä boikotoiva stagnaattinen blokki, eikä sillä ole merkittäviä raaka-ainevaroja. Intifadat ovat kriittisiä maantieteellisesti pienen alueen infrastruktuurille.
1/4 YK:n ihmisoikeuskomission tuomioista osuu Israeliin. YK:n Turvallisuusneuvoston aiheista 1/3 riepottelee samaa valtiota. Juutalaisesta tehdään ukkosenjohdatinta ja syntipukkia kuin Mustan Surman hysteriassa konsanaan. Nyt luulonvälitykseen on vain paljon mittavampi infrastruktuuri, postmodernin länsimaisen jumalanvastaisten vihanpurkausten reperkussioissa. Miksi emme saa uutisista tietoa, vaan viihteellistä ja puolivillaista propagandaa? Missä on oikeudenmukaisuus? (Ja missä heinäntekojärki?)

Salute! Helsingin Sanomien Kuukausiliite Huhtikuu 2008
"HAMASIN PUPU PUREE
Palestiinalaisessa lastenohjelmassa on hurja pupu. Gazalaiset lapset tietävät,
että kohta pupu varmaan kuolee. He ovat tottuneet kuolemaan ja marttyyreihin.
ASSUD-PUPU vihaa juutalaisia ja aikoo syödä ne. HÄn on uusi sankari gazalaisessa
lastenohjelmassa, jota seurataan laajalti Lähi-idässä. Assudia edelsi hänen
veljensä Nahul, joka taas oli mehiläinen. Nahul kuoli Israelin armeijan
piirittämässä Gazassa, koska ei päässyt sairaalaan. Ennen Nahulia saman ohjelman
sankari oli Farfur. HÄn muistutti Mikki Hiirtä. Farfurista tuli marttyyri, kun
israelilaiset sotilaat pieksivät hänet hengiltä. Gazan lasten on siis syyt
ävarautua myös Assud-pupun pikaiseen kuolemaan. Mutta - ja tämä on oleellista -
siihen Assud juuri tähtääkin: marttyyrikuolemaan. Sitä ennen hän tappaisi
juutalaisia ja tanskalaisia. Samaan hän kehottaa myös kaikkia pieniä katsojia,
Huomisen Pioneereja, aivan kuin muistuttaisi hampaiden pesusta.
ASSUD-PUPU saatta tuntua hätkähdyttävältä maassa, jossa lastenkirjojen rankinta päätä edustavat Peppi Pitkätossu ja Vaahteranmäen Eeemeli. Mutta Gazassa tämä on tuttua. Lasten karaoke-videossa orvoksi jäänyt pikkutyttö laulaa nukkuvalle pikkuveljelleen. Äiti, mitä sinulla on sylissäsi, minun sijastani? Äiti pakkaa pommin ja lähtee. Jokin on vielä tärkeämpää, tyttö laulaa. Äiti! Minä ja Ubaydah tarvitsemme sinua vielä pyyhkimään kyyneleemme. Ja kertosäe: Tahdon seurata äitini tietä. Lapset ja äidit ovat tässä sodassa aseita, lastentarhat ja koulut strategisia kohteita. Mikään ei mene isänmaan edelle. Videolla vanha äiti hyppii kiroten poikansa ruumiin päällä, sillä tämä oli paljastunut Israelin kätyriksi. Joten Assud-pupu on oikeastaan aika kesyä kamaa. Gazalaiset lapset ovat nähneet rankempaakin.
MUTTA pureeko Assud-pupu Gazan lapsiin?... Saarnivaara muistuttaa, että ohjelmilla on yleisöä myös muissa arabimaissa. VIesti on ehkä suunnattu myös sinne... Länsimaille Assud-pupu on signaali: näin valmiita me olemme. Lnnessä on paljon turhautuneita nuoria muslimeja, joille Gazalaisten uhrivalmius on ihailtava esimerkki.
Nahul-mehiläinen kuolee hoidon puutteessa. Assud-pupu
kuulee vanhemmiltaan kauhean uutisen. Yhdessä juontaja Saraan kanssa he
päättävät ryhtyä marttyyreiksi. He vapauttaisivat al Aqsan moskeijan siionistien
saastasta. Farfur-hiiri: 'Tämä on kuoleman hetki, käykäämme sotaan. Juontaja on
samaa mieltä: 'Me tahdomme puolustautua vihollista vastaan.' Lopuksi lauletaan
rynnäkkökivääri AK-47:stä. Assud kehottaa tanskalaistuotteiden boikottiin, koska
tanskalaiset ovat pilkanneet profeetta Muhammedia. 'Jos he tekevät sen vielä
uudelleen, me tapamme heidät, jos Allah suo.' Pupu lupaa purra tanskalaisia ja
syödä heidät."
"Joka viettelee lankeemukseen yhden näistä vähäisimmistä, sen olisi parempi että myllynkivi ripustettaisiin hänen kaulaansa ja hänet heitettäisiin meren syvyyksiin. Voi tätä maailmaa ja sen viettelyksiä! Viettelysten täytyy kyllä tulla, mutta voi sitä ihmistä, jonka kautta ne tulevat" (Mt. 18:7).

Eulogy for Eretz Israel
Despite the anti-Israel media war in Europe, the long-time funding office of the PLO, Palestinian life expectancy increased from 48 to 72 years in 1967-1995. The death rate decreased by over 2/3 in 1970-1990 and the Israeli medical campaigns decreased the child death rate from a level of 60 per 1000 in 1968 to 15 per 1000 in 2000 for the "occupied" Palestinians at the West Bank. (An analogous figure was 64 in Iraq, 40 in Egypt, 23 in Jordan, and 22 in Syria in 2000). During 1967-1988 the amount of comprehensive school and second level polytechnic institutes for the Arabs was increased by 35%. During 1970-1986 the proportion of Palestinian women at the West Bank and Gaza not having gone to school decreased from 67 % to 32 %. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in West Bank and Gaza increased in 1968-1991 from 165 US dollars to 1715 dollars (compare with 1630$ in Turkey, 1440$ in Tunis, 1050$ in Jordan, 800$ in Syria, 600$ in Egypt. and 400$ in Yemen). Israel has been forced to damage the very infrastructure she has constructed and administrated while hunting the weapons from the milittant "freedom fighters". Between 1967-1993 roads, system of siewers (gutters, ditches), electricity supply, water supply, schools, health care system, and social welfare system to the West Bank and Gaza.
Chaim Weizmann and Emir Feisal were companions and emphasized the racial
relations and community between the Jews and the Arabs, in contrast to the
European elitist thinking even officially in the Versailles treaty. What the
English and French (and American, later on) colonialists were most afraid of,
was the business collaboration between the Jews and the Arabs. When 'bestowing'
independence, the old landlords did everything to knock down the close and
friendly associations between those "cousins". Wahhabites to lead Arabia. Yasser
Arafat's uncle to serve as the great mufti of Jerusalem, the most pathological
hater of the Jews the could found. In 1948, there were altogether 23 countries
that declared Jihad against Israel. Also there, England tried to ruin the
business collaboration between the Jews and the Arabs: In its mandate, England
prevented the Jews from preparing to the approaching war by forbidding the Jews
to carry a gun, by the capital punishment. Only Jews were not allowed to gather
arsenal. That is the main reason why so many Muslim countries declared the
"holy" war: It was supposed to be an easy victory.
Tel Aviv (literally: Dumb-Hill of Spring) was plain desert at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, in the advent of its 100th year celebrations in 2009, it is the Silicon Wadi (Valley) of not only Mediterranean but of the whole globe since 1990's. The world has never seen such a rocket area of original Hi Tech innovations, I would say.
It is United States that profits from Israel, rather than the opposite. Israel
has received substantial direct economic aid from the United
States, including approximately $1.2 billion per year since the mid-1970's,
although that regular annual amount has been being tapered off by $120 million
per year beginning in 1998. In 2007, direct economic aid from the US amounted to
$120 million, or about 0.07% of Israel's GDP. As a payback,
Israel is not let to stop brain drain from Eretz israel to the US. Astonishing number
of 25% of the Israeli researchers have moved from Israel to the United States -
and this figure does not yet even include the people with double citizenship!
The next largest brain drain of researchers to US are 12.2% from Canada, 4.3%
from Netherlands, and 4.2% from Italy.
Before the Second Intifada, there were nearly 200 Israeli companies listed in the US
High Tech Nasdaq, after the II Intifada the count had dropped to about 100. (At
the moment the number is higher, again, and it should be born in mind that the
number did not drop below that from
all the European countries combined. Besides, also the IT bubble was popped
broken at the time globally, and at the early start of the Intifada II in
2000/2001 there was not yet a steep decrease.) Wikipedia lists 72 companies in Nasdaq in
2006:

Dollars are green since the Americans pull them down from the tree raw and fresh. E.g. Mirabilis by AOL with $0.4 billion, Indigo and Mercury by HP with 0.7$ and 1.5 billion, respectively, M-systems by ScanDisk Corp (SNDK) with $1.5 billion were big investments, Berkshire Hathaway’s first investment out of the US of ISCAR Metalworking for 4$ billion, though. Israel has not been able to let any of its companies to be scaled up in their homeland but most are imported straight from the garage. The scaling up of industrial production would mean jobs to both Jews, Arabs and other ethnic groups. Israel is ordered to stay as some kind of innovation laboratory only, as the 51. state.
Over half of the export from Israel are High tech products (32 $ billion in 2007), compared to the 25% which is the average in the OECD countries. Israel's GDP is about $200 billion, nearly six times its original, relative per-capita level. Skyscrapers crowd Tel Aviv, multilane thruways, tunnels, fast trains and spaghetti junctions crisscross the country, and some 80 shopping malls, the first of which only opened in 1986. She harbours more museums per capita than any other country. She exhibits second highest output of new book per citizen. More patents per person than any other nation. More than 85% of solid waste in the country is treated in an environmentally sound manner. The shekel is one of the strongest currencies in the world, inflation is 2.5%, year 2007 growth of 5% was the developed world's highest for the fifth consecutive year, while unemployment slid to a 15-year low of 6.5%. In 2007, Israel had the 44th-highest gross domestic product and 22nd-highest gross domestic product per capita (at purchasing power parity) at US$233 billion and US$33,3, respectively. The country’s GDP by sectors is similar to that of developed countries with a leading services sector at around 67%, the industrial sector follows with 31% and agriculture is responsible for the remaining 3%. Israel’s major industrial sectors include a leading high tech industry, electronic and bio medical equipment, chemicals, metal products. The country is a member of the World Trade Organization and a trial member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
In short, even the immigrant PhD's have to be humble enough to make their living by cleaning toilets before they get the hold of making living. Although the export of the agriculture has remained constant past the last 30 years, its relative amount has dropped from 70% to 3%. Out of the 3000 companies in Israel 80% are less than ten years old, and the average failure rate of these start ups is very low, less than 50%. More Israeli patents are registered in the US than from Russia, India, and China combined, despite the enormous population disadvantage (about 7 million in Israel vs. 2.5 billion combined in the other 3). One of the secrets of innovative success in Israel is the fact that cheating is minimized in the public funding: Money is not delivered according to research plans but steady income ("kassavirta") and thus the market analysis is emphasized. The support is designed so that the first 2-10 years a start-up company does not have to pay taxes. But very little, if any, direct funding without compensation is offered. Today, Israel draws Venture Capital (VC) more than the Europe. A novel phenomenon is the strategy by which Israel has been able to claim victory over China and other Far-East countries regarding the modern High Tech factories: As an example, the supranational Intel transferred the mass production of Centricon-processors to Israel, where ~20% of citizens possess university decrees (ranking 3rd in the world) but where the environment respects patents and are not plagiating every item they produce to others like the rocketting China. (China is a great country of thieves since the first dynasty and homogenizing extinguishment of the monotheistic Shang Ti faith and plural languages alike 2000 years ago. The Empire of Pirates steals every moving article in your machine. Not s single Finnish company has ever won a law suite in China, despite even evident violation of valid IPR, Intellectual Property Rights.)
Intel was also offered
an overall tax rate of 10%, which is about three times lower than that of US.
Also, the biggest generic drug factory in the world was recently established in
Israel. Generating US$7 billion in annual revenues, Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical
Industries Ltd. (TEVA) is the world's largest generic pharmaceutical company.
TEVA makes generic versions of brand-name antibiotics, heart drugs, heartburn
medications, and more - in all close to 200 global generic products, 700
compounds, and more than 2800 dosage forms and formulations. TEVA's
pharmaceuticals are used in some 20% of U.S. generic drug prescriptions.
Examples of TEVA's generics include lower-cost equivalents of such blockbusters
as anti-depressant Prozac and cholesterol drug Mevacor. TEVA also acquired Barr
pharmaceuticals, putatively the world's largest biotech firm:

Examples of modern Israeli inventions include: Microsoft Windows NT operating system; Intel Pentium MMX Chips; Gut cam ingestible pill video camera to diagnose digestive tract diseases; Heart attack Blood Test Diagnoses by phone; The first PC antivirus software in the world was developed in 1979 Israel; AOL Instant Messenger Software; Blue-Light non-UV skin damage-free acne treatment (Clearlight device that causes acne bacteria to self destruct without damaging the surrounding skin); Firewall internet security software (Checkpoint company); MacAfee crypting technology; first fully computerized radiation free diagnostic scanning device for breast cancer; Baby Sense prevents Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS); Seamless lingerie (Tafron provides for Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Banana Republic & Nike); More scientific papers per capita than any other nation (109 per 10,000 people); Tecnomatix inventions utilized in GM, Ford, Boeing and Lockheed Martin); Computerized system for ensuring proper administration of medications to reduce risk of human error (which kills 7000 patients in U.S. hospitals annually); Drip irrigation technology for farmers to conserve water; Highest number of solar-power water heaters per capita according to the Guinness Book of World Records; An Israeli company developed and installed one of the largest solar power plants in the world (Mojave desert in California); First cell phone at Motorola R&D lab; Non-exploitation labelling of diamonds (Daimond Exchange); Transchip and the first camera that fits on a single electronic chip; Eight county to launch satellites into space; Voice mail technology and SMS (Amdocs, Comverse, Nice Systems); VOIP technology etc.Israel was the destination for the first R&D centers outside the USA for Intel and Microsoft and also hosts R&D centers for Google and in the future for Yahoo! (Intel is located at Kiriat Gat near Beer Sheva. It is an odd combination of megaindustry and small town in the middle of nowhere. Microsoft etc. is located at Haifassa. The high-tech and bio-tech start ups often are located at Kiriat Weizman, which belongs to the city of Rehovotin which in practice means Tel Aviv since the distance is only 15 km. Most of the Tel Aviv sky crapers are found in Ramat Gan, which is on the opposite face to the Ayalon freeway.)
How has the world reacted to such an impact? Despite of it, one-fourth of the judgements of the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations strike Israel, compared to zero judgments to all the Islamic countries combined. Out of the incidences dealt in the Security Counsil one-third is having to do with Israel. I think this resembles the hysteria seen in the Black Plague in Europe, when the European Jews were accused of the pandemia and burnt alive. (As an example, one the biggest Jewish populations in the continent was in Basel, Switzerland, and all the 4000 souls were burnt in a Rhein island.)
As a
matter of fact, the population of Arabs (my beloved friends and brothers) under
the Israeli government was increased ten-fold (10X) in only 57 years. This is
close to the world record for any tribe, nation, tongue or culture on the whole
planet at the same time interval. The Sefardi Jews were expelled from Spain in
the very date when Christoffer Colombo lifted up his anchors and sailed away
from Spain. The Jews had to leave and their possessions were stolen. In the case
of the Mizrahi, the Jews have lived for millennia all around the Middle East
since the first exile of Israel 500 B.C., in what are now Muslim-dominated
countries. While much has been made of the 700,000 Palestinians having been made
homeless with the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, it's peculiar that
there is no official recognition of their Jewish counterparts. A greater number
of Jews - some 856,000 - were forcefully expelled from Arab countries after the
creation of the State of Israel, their homes forfeited, their belongings seized.
They became refugees, migrating to Israel, mainly. But they did not spoke any
Hebrew but Arabic and Farsi (Persian).
Israel has been forced to damage the very infrastructure she has constructed and
administrated while hunting the weapons from the milittant police forces
after the release of prisoners and arsenal according to the Oslo accords.
Between 1967-1993 roads, system of siewers (gutters, ditches), electricity
supply, water supply, schools, health care system, and social welfare system to
the West Bank and Gaza. Even for the Arab citizens of Israel, ideal was that
everyody gets the same salar for the same job, with the same social benefits.
This is stated in the law, officially. In contrast, even the official law in
Jordan which has the peace treaty with Israel, it is forbidden for a Jew to live
in the country. The health care services have been free for the Arab population,
only a portion of the price of the drugs must have been paid by the patients.
Under the administrations of Great Britain (1920-1947) or Jordan (1948-1967), no
universities were established for the Arabs in the country. According to The
Association of Arab Universities (http://www.aaru.edu.jo/),
in contrast, under the Israeli administration altogether six universities
appeared during the time (of course by the force of the local Arab people,
though). Also, since 1969 an independent newspaper has appeared in Jerusalem,
which has never been put under a censorship. The
Second Intifada could be called The Oslo War.
PLO was founded by the Arab League, not
the Palestinians. Palestinians, whom I love, were and are USED. Used as a
'vanguard'. You can read it from the PLO articles directly:
http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/mideast/plocov.htm
"Article 14: The destiny of the Arab nation, and indeed Arab existence
itself, depend upon the destiny of the Palestine cause. From this
interdependence springs the Arab nation's pursuit of, and striving for, the
liberation of Palestine. The people of Palestine play the role of the vanguard
in the realization of this sacred (qawmi) goal.
Article 7: It is a national duty to bring up individual Palestinians in an Arab
revolutionary manner. All means of information and education must be adopted in
order to acquaint the Palestinian with his country in the most profound manner,
both spiritual and material, that is possible. He must be prepared for the armed
struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life...
Article 10: Commando action ('FEDAYEEN' ) constitutes the nucleus of the
Palestinian popular liberation war. This requires its escalation,
comprehensiveness, and the mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and
educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed
Palestinian revolution... On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of
whether they are residing in the national homeland or in diaspora (mahajir)
constitute - both their organizations and the individuals - one national front
working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed
struggle...Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This it is the
overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase."
Aviv
is Hebrew for "spring", symbolizing renewal, and
tel is an archaeological site that
reveals layers of civilization built one over the other. The Jewish population
has been such a layer of native culture not only in the Palestine, yet the
expulsion of the native Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews from Pakistan to Morocco since
1948 is totally ignored in the European media:

Since Antiquity, a number of Jewish communities have been established in many parts of Asia migrating or fleeing eastward from their place of origin in Mesopotamia. Some examples of ancient Jewish communities in Asia are: In Iran (Persian Jews) and Iraq (Iraqi Jews); the Georgian Jews and Mountain Jews of the Caucasus; the Bene Israel, the Baghdadi Jews and the Cochin Jews of India (Jews in India); and the Bukharian Jews of Central Asia. China once had an established Jewish community in Kaifeng. Here is a partial list of some prominent Asian Jews, arranged by country of origin. Note that those regions of Asia where Arabic or Russian or Turkish predominate are excluded from this list (except for the Baghdadi Jews from India and Southeast Asia); see Arab Jews, Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardi Jews for information on these populations.

START-UP NATION - The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle
http://www.startupnationbook.com/
Israel has
more companies on the tech-oriented NASDAQ
stock exchange than any country outside the US
– more than all of Europe, India, and China combined.
Nor is Israeli innovation limited to computers, security, and communications; the Jewish state leads the world in medical device patents, and is a strong global player in cleantech and biotech.
"When an Israeli man wants to date a woman, he asks her out that night. When an Israeli entrepreneur has a business idea, he will start it that week.”
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 45 percent of Israelis are university-educated,
which is among the highest percentages in the world.
And according to a recent IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook, Israel was ranked second among sixty developed nations on the criterion of whether
“university education meets the needs of a competitive economy.”
By the time Israeli students finish college, they’re in their mid-twenties; some already have graduate degrees, and a large number are married.
“All this changes the mental ability of the individual”.
“They’re much more mature; they’ve got more life experience. Innovation is all about finding ideas.”
Innovation often depends on having a different perspective. Perspective comes from experience. Real experience also typically comes with age or maturity.
But in Israel, you get experience, perspective, and maturity at a younger age, because the society jams so many transformative experiences into Israelis when they’re barely out of high school.
By the time they get to college, their heads are in a different place than those of their American counterparts.
The social graph is very simple here. Everybody knows everybody; everybody was serving in the army with the brother of everybody;
the mother of everybody was the teacher in their school; the uncle was the commander of somebody else’s unit.
Nobody can hide. If you don’t behave, you cannot disappear to Wyoming or California. There is a very high degree of transparency.
“When it comes to U.S. military résumés, Silicon Valley is illiterate. It’s a shame.
What a waste of the kick-ass leadership talent coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan. The American business world doesn’t quite know what to do with them.”
