Yes. America had it’s problems and made great progress in the last 250 years..
Israel was on the right track for many years; not any more though. This makes me sad and I hope things will get better for you. In order to make any progress, the first step must be writing a constitution.

I’m afraid you are wrong. Most western European countries do have a constitution. A constitution, however, does not necessarily make a country civilized or enlightened. I would not say that most European countries have a better human rights record than Israel. No at all!

Nogah,

I agree with everything you stated in your post. Including “haton hamitnase…”
