Speaking of the country Israel, I believe everyone is familiar with it. It has been active internationally for a long time. Especially in recent times, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has once again heated up, and Israel has once again become the focus. Israel is one of the four developed countries in Asia. Although it lacks water, it has developed agriculture. It also attaches great importance to education and has always aimed at rejuvenating the country through science and technology, so science and technology and military are also very developed. Israel is a small country in the desert that lacks both water and oil, but it is known as "the smallest superpower in the world". So many people must be wondering, why is such a small country like Israel so powerful? Why so arrogant? Next, the editor will tell you about it.
1. Israel has developed agriculture.
No country has achieved such outstanding achievements in the agricultural field as Israel. Israel's land area is more than 25,000 square kilometers, but the Gobi desert accounts for half of it. There are only a pitiful 6.15 million acres of arable land. Israel has a population of 9.3 million, with an average of only 0.683 acres of arable land per person. Moreover, Israel's per capita water resources are only the world average. 1/33 of the level. Most of their crops use drip irrigation, combined with the application of entomology and plant pathology, which has increased farmland yields a lot. In addition, the agricultural technology department has developed software based on crop growth conditions to control the temperature and control of their crops. wet. Not only is Israel basically self-sufficient in food domestically, but it also exports a large amount of agricultural and sideline products.
2. Israel is technologically advanced.
Israel is at the world's advanced level in the fields of seawater desalination, communications industry, big data statistics, nanotechnology, chemical industry, software development, medical equipment, biotechnology engineering, agriculture, aviation and other fields. ICQ, the originator of instant messaging software, was invented by Israelis. Tencent's QQ was first called OICQ, which was an imitation of ICQ. The world's first mobile phone was invented by Motorola in Israel. Intel's Pentium, Celeron, and Core series CPUs are all developed in Israel.
Israeli agriculture accounts for a very small proportion of the entire Israeli economy, accounting for only 2.5 of the entire Israeli GDP. Industrial manufacturing and high-tech industries account for a large proportion of the Israeli economy. Companies such as Intel, Microsoft, and Apple all have R&D facilities in Israel. Tel Aviv, Israel, is also known as the second Silicon Valley. Israel is also one of the world's three largest diamond processing centers. Israel's diamond processing volume currently accounts for 12% of the world's diamond processing volume.
3. Israel has a developed military industry.
Scientific research results can be transformed into scientific and technological products, some of which are military products. The reason why Israel has become a developed country is because of its advanced technology. Drones developed by Israel account for 60% of the world's market share. Israel has invested a lot in military research and development. It has developed world-leading Falcon early warning aircraft, Harpy drones, Merkava tanks and other star weapons. Israel's military strength is one of the best in the Middle East. Moreover, Israel also exports a large number of military products, with exports of defense equipment exceeding US$7 billion.
4. All the people of Israel are soldiers.
Although Israel has only about 9.3 million people, adults, both men and women, must perform military service. The men serve for 2 years and eight months, and the women serve for 2 years. After Israeli citizens complete their compulsory military service, some personnel who are still considered suitable for military service will be transferred to the reserve forces.
Israel is not as strict as men about women’s military service. Women’s military service is just like going to work. You can go home after training every day. Some people can apply to take guns home and just take them back the next day. Sometimes you can see some Israeli beauties on the streets, restaurants, and parks, wandering around with guns on their backs. This is normal.
5. Israel attaches great importance to education.
Education is Israel’s strength. It is precisely because Israel attaches great importance to education and has a high level of national education that it has developed rapidly and become a developed country today. Israel’s educational system: primary education (grades 1-6); junior high school education (grades 7-9); high school education (grades 10-12); university. Compulsory education is implemented nationwide for grades 1-11.
The literacy rate of Israelis is 97.1, making it the country with the highest literacy rate in the Middle East. Israel invests 10% of its annual GDP in education, which is the largest ratio in the world.
6. Most of the people in Israel are Jews.
Israel has a population of about 9.3 million, but 6.89 million are Jews, accounting for 74%. Everyone knows that Jews are very powerful in business, and they mainly do business in European and American countries. Many rich people in European and American countries are Jews. Rich Jewish people from these European and American countries have provided a lot of assistance to Israel, and basically provide some funds every year to help Israel develop.
The distant ancestors of the Jews are a branch of the ancient Semitic people, which originated in the Mesopotamia Plain about 4,000 years ago. The Mesopotamia Plain is in today's Iraq and is the birthplace of the four major ancient civilizations. One of the places was ancient Babylon. Although there are many wealthy Jews, Israel is also very developed. However, the Jews generally have a bad fate. They were conquered and driven out by other ethnic groups, and they were exterminated and then restored to their country 2,000 years later. Jews were often oppressed and suppressed when they wandered in Europe.
