It's the only true democracy in the Middle East. In fact, it's the only democracy there, period. What does that tell you about
a.) Israel and its priorities and ideals, and
b.) Its neighbors' priorities and ideals?
In Israel, you can see scantily clad beautiful girls, drink beer, listen to any music you like, dress however you like, think for yourself, worship any God (or no God at all), take part in fantastic hedonistic nightlife like in any Western country, enjoy a free press, etc., etc., etc. Yet the Israelis are almost always portrayed as 'the bad guys', while their neighbors, who for whatever reason ALLOW and ENJOY life under oppressive regimes where simply stated you cannot live as you'd like if you don't agree with extremist Islamic views, are seen as the 'poor little victims'. It is a FACT that poor treatment of women exists in Arabic countries, little or no freedom of choice (slightly more so in a few of the countries, but still hardly any, really), and backwardness.
