Point C: Last time I checked, Jewish people were still Arab, unless they have some sort of strange blood line thingy or whatever that proves they didn't come from Assyria or whatever.

POINT C: Israel is a powerful enough civ to be in Civilizaiton III. For example, Israel's Merkavah 3 is one of the most powerfulest tanks in the world. another example is that the IDF(Israeli Defense Force) is one of the top army's in the world and consists of some of the most trained troops. one more example is that Israel has more technology than most of the rest of the world(ex. ICQ, genetically removing feathers from chickens, etc...)
So now you are probally thinking,"Hey, Israel is pretty POWERFUL and could compete with other civs in Civlization III. How Rude and dumb was I to say that Israel is not a powerful enough civilization to be in Civ III. Didn't a moderator say that nationality bashing was strictly against the rules in the civfanatic forums. I guess i did do some nationality bashing when i said israel is not powerful enough to get its own civ in Civ III, and i am sorry to any israeli or zionist who thought it predujice."
So there you go. and have a good life.

Point D: I know Israel is a very influential civ, even in the modern world, becuase three very prominent world religions came from it, but Israel is not poweful enough to get its own civ in the best game of all time (Civ III of course)
Almost all of their military technology was either given to them by western countries or is currently being subsidized by them.
Go read up on the LAVI and J-10.

That's untrue.
The only technologies Israel has been given are those who could compete US Arm sales.
Each time Israel needed a new technology or weapon, they first came to the US of course, instead of developing, because it's cheap. During the 60's and the 70's the US declined because they didn't want to upset the Russians and the Arabs too much, so Israel started developing weapons on it's own. The US saw Israel is capable of developing advanced weapons, and it was afraid Israel's weapon exports will compete the American market, so they sell Israel weapons.
In most cases that is correct, almost every weapon Israel develops outplays any other similiar weapon in the market. The Air2Air missiles like the Python4 and Derby are the most advanced of their kind. The aviation technologies implemented on the Israeli modified F-15 (F-15I) and F-16 (F-16I) are more advanced than the Korean or American counterparts.
The Israeli Tank Merkavah 4 has the most advanced armament system and automatic firing electronics in the world, and so on so on.
Actually Israel's biggest export after Diamonds is probably fire arms.
