Do you pass the ‘Israel Test’?

Would you believe us if we said that the best litmus test of any society’s success is its attitude toward Israel? Well, it’s true. As George Gilder explains, whether a society envies and resents Israel’s success or celebrates and tries to replicate it is indicative of that society’s progress. Countries that “pass” the “Israel Test” tend to rise. Those who don’t tend to sink. So, does your personal “society” pass the “Israel Test”? It takes five minutes to find out.
