Near as I can tell, they have all the modern conveniences we do in the USA. In fact, they pattern themselves after what has worked for us in this country (and others around the globe).
The differences are that they are very, very smart people generally. They are united by a single faith that is measured not by differences but by extremes of perspective on what it is/means to be Jewish. Their very lives depend on being right with their choices about how they run their country and defenses. Unlike our country.
In my humble opinion the Israelis are quite semetic and prejudiced against non Jews. They consider themselves a race alone. THE PEOPLE if you will. Everyone else is just chopped liver. I mean, they frequently hide all this rather well.
They have probubly been one of the most discriminated against races in the world and throughout history so to some extent, I personally can see their orientation and approach. I suspect this is the case cuz they are so unified, literate in the age old experiences of being Jews over millenia in a cruel and unforgiving world.
I can tell you one thing for sure. I would not want to be fighting against Israel or at odds with their focus.
Only world pressure will stop this military thang going on right now. The Israelis will let up when THEY decide the time is best suited for their own advantage. They will milk the situation for all it is worth and to their own advantage.
Have pitty for their enemies.

While there is definetly poverty in Israel (they are extremely supportive of immigration such as when they saved thousands of eithiopian jews and now with the russain jews flooding in) Israelis have somehow managed to make a huge amount of success in a really crappy land. The terorism is kiling a huge tourism agency and also lowers quality of life when so many are being killed but Israelis have ahigh quality of life. Heck my and your quality of life are linked to the israelis. i do all my research with answers.com and chat with AIM. who invented both? israelis

They've worked very hard to have the lives they have. Even many American Jews have moved to Israel, so it certainly can't be that bad.

yes and the food is better and the people are more friendly. Its just unfortunate that other religions are anti Semitic and religion causes the problem for them

I suppose their quality of life would be good if suicide bombers would stop walking into public places and on public transit everytime somebody walks out of their homes, it seems.
