Israeli Innovation Beats Arab Oil

[Shady]

The American revolutionary war was one of two fairly equal forces fighting each other.

Complete nonsense. I've never seen such a horrific display of historical ignorance.

in response to a poster who tried to blame the Arabs' backwardness on British brutality as colonizers. I was pointing out that they didn't leave behind a bad legacy in the U.S. Perhaps the brutality related to the tactics some thugs used to fight the British?

There is no way you can be taken seriously and claim that the colonization and rule of the American colonies was the same as the brutal oppression and stagnation caused by the colonization of Britain's Empire. At one point India made a third of the world's products when the British took control they suppressed all enterprise so that instead of Indian industry producing for Indian consumers, the Indians would have to buy products from Britain. This happened all over the Empire including the Arab nations.

When Arab nations finally did gain independence they were left with Arab leaders following a socialist agenda that also suppressed enterprise and innovation. So back to my point you can't compare Arab Oil Nations and Israel. You could however compare individual Arabs living in a similar democratic and free environment as Israel and from them you can see that Arab innovation is on par with Israel.
