"" ranked Israel as the Middle East and North Africa's only free country.""

I wouldn't disagree with that, given that the whole area is menaced by Israel's massively greater capacity for mayhem and genocide.

The whole of North Africa and the whole Middle East all menaced by a tiny sliver of land invisible on most maps.
Is Israel responsible for the mayhem in Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia, Mali, Algeria, ......

Don, when Israel is mentioned you become irrational and lose your reason.
You are even more comical than Stringsinger's barmy bloopers!
