Why Israel is so powerful

Israel is a very peculiar country. It has a long, tortuous and frustrating history. since the establishment of the state in 1948, Israelis living environment is very dangerous. The land is mostly desert, very poor, serious water shortage; coupled with tensions with the Palestinians and some Arab countries, the bloodshed has never ceased, all constraints on the development of the economy. However, Israel had managed to rise rapidly in that situation, turning from a backward agricultural country into a developed industrial country with a per capita output of $17,500. Less than 3 per cent of the agricultural population was not only self-sufficient in agricultural products, but also exported large quantities to European countries. Israel's information, communication, electronics, chemical industry, biotechnology, medical equipment, fine processing not only reached the international level, but also in some high-tech fields has jumped to a leading position in the world. Israel's military industry is quite developed, and its arms exports have ranked fifth in the world. Due to Israel's small size, only 6.75 million people, people call the world's "smallest superpower", also known as the "pocket superpower".

Israel's rise is certainly supported by the United States, but the most important is the internal factors. Exploring the reasons for this may be beneficial to us.

One, a strong national cohesion and the spirit of self-improvement, is Israel's national development will never run out of the driving force. The Jewish people is a nation of deep suffering. Several times in history, the great migration, the great dispersion, the Jews suffered slavery, expulsion and killing. Especially during the Second World War, six million Jews were killed by the German Nazis. "Born of adversity", these historical encounters did not make the Jews extinct, nor did they make it yield, but on the contrary, it refined the Jewish nation's high degree of patriotism and indomitable spirit of resistance. There are about 12 million Jews in the world, half of whom live in Israel and half in the Diaspora. No matter where they are, Jews are always concerned about their homeland and do everything possible to help and support their country. Wherever Jews live, there are Jewish societies, which try by all means to influence the policy of the host country towards Israel, among which the American Jewish group is the largest and has the greatest influence on the American policy towards Israel. Wealthy Jews in the Diaspora not only invest in their home countries, but also make large donations to schools, research organizations and charitable causes. The spirit of self-improvement, struggle and innovation of the Jewish people has always been praised. It is through this spirit that the Jewish people have produced many outstanding historical figures. Marx, the great man who changed the history of the world, was a Jew, and Albert Einstein, the famous scientist, was also a Jew. According to statistics, more than 30% of the Nobel Prize winners were Jews. It is with this spirit that the Jewish people have turned the desert into good land, poverty into wealth, and weakness into strength. This spirit has the power to change the world.
