The reason their values are more like ours is that most of them are European And therin lies the rub. They created a country in the middle east displacing the previous occupants.

If you go back 3 or 4 generations about 35-40% are of European origin. If you go back just one generation it's only about 20%. On the other hand if you go back far enough they're all local. Whichever way you look at it most aren't European.The reason their values are more like ours is that most of them are European And therin lies the rub.

In 1900 Palestine 's population was 94% Arab. In 1914 the Jewish population had increased to 52,000 people.
By 1947 there were 630,000 Jews. Where had they come from? These were the same generation as my parents.
Their children and grandchildren may have been born in Israel but would have been inculcated with european values.

According to Trumps press secretary the United States have never influenced foreign elections or uprisings to give these nations "The democracy they deserve"
On a world stage they are and still act like the petulant teenager they are.

Half were from Europe and half from the rest of world (not counting those already living there), mostly North African and Middle Eastern countries. 75% of the current population of Israel is Jewish of which around half originated in Europe which is 37% and what I said earlier.

OK I underestimated the sephardi influx.
Just a correction of a minor point. I'd put in the footnotes if i could !Only on Bluemoon could the derivation of bikini lead on from a debate about American imperialism.
