Israel formed from the original terrorist entity in the Middle East. Even Albert Einstein recognized that all the way back in late 1948 when he either wrote or signed onto letters condemning what would eventually become the fascist, ethnosupremacist Likud party:
"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represent."
That map above is intriguing, but money isn't everything. Is there a map that rates states according to people's sense of happiness or well-being? I currently live in eastern North Dakota and it's pretty satisfying here (and even moreso just across the border in Minnesota) although we are ranked 47th in supposed ROI as shown on the map above.
