You know what, I just had to do a double take because your post is so stupid.

Israel brought nothing to the region? Let’s review.

Israel has the highest gdp by a great margin.

Israel is an important exporter of technology to the world, be it cyber tech, water tech, agriculture tech or defense tech.

Israel has the highest number of startups per capita in the world.

Israel has more Nobel laureates than the entire rest of the Middle East.

Last olymipcs Israel won more medal than the rest of the Middle East.

Palestines primary exports pretty much mounts to terrorism and sedition.

So yeah, Israel is an extremely successful country, saying otherwise is either ignorance, or malicious.

Israel only survives as a vassal state of the US. Without US aid, political cover, and unconditional military support, they cannot exist. It is being made illegal to boycott Israel in the US, given them artificial economic advantages, and they receive a surprising amount of US government contracts especially in security and data related tech. They exploit the few remaining Palestinians for their own manual labor with unfair wages in their aparteid state.

All of what you said does nothing for the region as they continue to expand their own borders by stealing more and more land from their neighbors (they recently took MORE land from Syria as the new government took shape). Their achievements are marred by their vicious genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza and increasingly genocidal behavior in the West Bank as well. Of course you'll economically prosper if you consider stealing and occupying a legitimate right of yours. They achieve all of this by bringing bloodshed and war to the region, which they call for from the US time and time again.

How many times has Bibi Netanyahu gone before Congress to pull the US into another war in the Middle East? The US foots the bill to weaken their neighbors so they stand out more. That's not an economic achievement to be proud of or boasting about.

They can have all the startups they want, but they have the worst human rights record of any country currently, with the largest number of condemnations in the UN of any other country but always vetoed by the US. When you don't have to worry about being judged the same as other countries, then you are free to develop your country without worry about petty things like human rights violations as long as Uncle Sam foots the security bill and sends over more contracts.

Israel and those who unconditionally support it are complicit in its genocide.
