The question is somewhat unclear ... we really can't quite tell exactly what the questioner

is getting at.

Is it asking "Is Israel a developed country ?", or "How did it get that way ?"

Israel is unquestionably a developed country. Its government is a representative

democracy in a part of the world where that's rare, and has not had a revolutionary

or military take-over in all its modern history. It has a thriving economy in spite of the

demands of its defense spending equal to 17% of its national budget, it has a world-class

system of public and private educational institutions, and it's a world leader in several

fields of medicine and technology.

Israel's Birth Rate is 3.9% above the world average, and its death rate is 36% below

the world average. Life expectancy at birth in Israel is 78.5 for males and 82.2 for females.

95.4% of the total population are literate (can read and write), including 93.6% of all

women. There is a doctor for every 266 residents, and a hospital bed for every 157.

Infant mortality was 3.9 per 1,000 live births in 2007.

There are 3 million telephone landlines (phone numbers) in Israel, plus 8.9 million

cellphone subscribers. There are 735 personal computers, and 222 broadband

internet subscribers, for every 1,000 people in the country.

Israel is roughly the same size as the state of Massachusetts ... within 1% .

It has 570 miles of railroads, and 11,100 miles of roads ... all paved. It has

1.7 million passenger cars, and 370,000 trucks and buses. Its national airline flew

11 billion passenger miles, and carried 897 million metric tons of cargo, in 2009.

40.8% of the total population is "economically active", and 49.6% of those are women.

Unemployment is 8.2% ... somewhat less than in the the US. Tourism and foreign direct

investment are large sources of economic activity.

The gross national per-capita income in 2009 was the equivalent of US$21,900.

Despite a topography that is largely desert, Israel produces and exports potatoes,

tomatoes, grapefruit, pomelos, and dates, and raises sheep and cattle on its sparse

arable and grazing land. Production of medical, measuring and testing equipment,

fabricated metal products, and food products in 2009 totaled US$4.5 billion. In 2009

the country produced 49.8 billion KwH of electrical energy, 413,000 metric tons of

lignite, 24,500 barrels of crude oil, 10.9 million metric tons of petroleum products

from imported oil, and 2.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

Israel imports machinery and apparatus, raw diamonds, chemical products, crude oil,

and cars, from Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the UK, and the US, among others.

Israel exports machinery and apparatus, rough and finished diamonds, medicine,

professional and scientific equipment, to Belgium, Germany, HongKong, the UK,

and the US, among others.
