Stop. Enough. You post is so full of holes I'm getting a hole in my head. Lets just take it one by one.
Israel is headed nowhere good.
OK, you're entitled to you opinion.
Religious fanatics don't want to work.
Agree. Thats why we need the state to change it so they can't freeload anymore. They can study Torah on there own free time, just like any other recreational activity.
Smarter Jews want to move out.
Again, that is you opinion.
The land the "country" is built on isn't getting any less stolen.
It is no more stolen than England, the US, Peru, or practically any other modern country. What claim did the Irish immigrants have to come in on boats and seize Indian land? What justification did the Normans/Saxons have to invade England? At least the Jews have irrefutable Historic ties to the land of Israel that are just as strong as, if not stonger, than those of the "Palestinians", which btw is a concept invented no earlier than 1964.
Geographically they were supposed to be a bigger center of finance and trade than Singapore
Have you heard of the political situation in the Middle East?
but look at their exports-per-capita numbers...
I'd say 28 in the world is not that bad, considering you know the little security inconveniences that arise from time to time. 28th is better than the US, better than Japan. Don't you have any more convincing data to base you anti-Israeli sentiments on?
Israeli oranges are of inferior quality
just the opposite
and cost more
depends on transport costs and customs agreements between countries. In Australia I suppose it costs more, but there is still demand.
but the fanatics still buy them!
I think
Israeli wine is just as good as French wine yet I still occasionally buy a bottle of expensive French. Does that make me a fanatic?
Billions are thrown in government / military / security contracts
Guess you've heard about the conflict situation here by now
diamond monopolies, a government-backed "black market" in synthetic drugs
WHAT???!!!
, tourism,
Is toursim bad? Is it somehow opposed to the principles of libertarianism?
But when it comes to fair competition, Israel can't produce jack shit!
Sorry man, I've had it up to here. It is your knowledge that amounts to jack-shit. Intel leading development and manufacturing sites are in Israel. Intel is basically an Israeli company. Have you heard of Teva Pharmaceuticals? Checkpoint? ECI Telecom? Delta-Galil? Alvarion? Verisity? Vocaltec?
Leading companies like Microsoft and Cisco thought it was a good idea to open primary development sites in Israel.
Here's a link so you can start catching up on all those prejudices you have regarding Israel.
