Interesting - all things that keep Israel alive and kicking today are strictly secular or secular-invented. Hmmmm...

Israel is booming! No, not with explosions thank Gd., but in Economy, Tourism, Prosperity and Inventions. Now building some more cheap housing and everybody will be happy, exept the 'Usual Suspects' of Israel haters ofcourse.

YOU ARE WRONG!!!! Learn first, talk later. many Dati Leumi OWN these companies... many Chassidim work in high tech.

Actually its not all secular, asides from many of these engineers and innovators being religious, there is quite an innovative industry for shabbat-permissible devices and other demands of the religious sector.. Here in Israel, we benefit from both our secular and religious populations.

you perpetuate an idealism that is based on your low self esteem, feel good be happy and the world feels good too

What is the meaning of the title saying Israel is an IP superpower? Internet Protocol, Israel Patent (Office), ...

Intenet Patent Internet Provider take take your choice

Patents are only a subgroup of the wide spread term intellectual property. You are mixing up several different laws if you talk of intellectual property but only mean patents. Sorry Guatemala.

copyright protection for software and music, and yet a major part of the economy is dependant on this protection

Maybe IP has a secret meaning,like Engineer Alexander Zarkhin,who in the fifties in Israel was working on desalination research,while in Russia he created many patents,one of his patents,he named,A.A.A.Indzers ashtikel arbet,a peace of work of our own.

Just to set the record straight, there are plenty of Torah observant Jews that invent and work as patent attorneys. I also happen to be one of them. With the most basic of a Torah education you would see that the the values responsible for civilizing the mankind are rooted in Torah values. Just a couple of examples, inalienable rights, freedom of speech, education for the masses, peace are all social advances emenating from non-secular ,Torah values. Time to get to understand what you are supposed to exemplify as a Jew!
