Question

What are israel's similarities to the u.s

Answer 1

Answer:

Both nations are immigrant societies, seeing themselves as a melting pot for immigrants. Both are still dealing with the natural ramifications of different groups defined by their cultural heritage vying for their place in American/Israeli society in general.

Both share a self view of being "chosen" in a way, and both nations view themselves as having "manifest destiny".

Both societies are grappling with illegal immigration into the country, and the moral and practical questions raised by this issue.

Lastly, and this has been mentioned before, both societies are dealing with current legal and moral issues relative to armed conflict and governance over other peoples, as well as militarism in general.
