Why are you including Israel in “the west”? What great contributions have come out of Israel? Seems to me, mostly spyware and mass dragnets.

Except for some great goa trance artists, I can’t think of much.

Man, a simple google would help. Lets start with the USB flash drive, Iron Dome, PillCam. The drip irrigation technology alone has transformed arrid farming. Factor in Mobileye, ICQ, Check Point's firewall and Waze and this is legit just in the last decade and half.
“Drip irrigation “ is hardly an Israeli invention.

The rest are just very minor software part of the dragnet? Who in their right mind would use check point today.

Everything developed by Israel is tainted and jacked into the Israeli surveillance state.

Ok, whats your favorite Jordanian or Lebanese invention of the last 15 years? How about Palestinian movie?
