Here's a thought - why not be yourself? The greatest day would be when Israel did not want to mimick the United States, but be like France - independent from everyone, self-reliant, considering its own culture as the standard. But then Isarel must first wean itself off the money America sends to Israel every year. Greatest regret is that it now has a Prime Minister that sounds American when speaking English - at least he still sounds Israeli when he speaks Hebrew. Although in terms of socio-economic issues Israel is still more associated with Europe and it has a national health system and so on. The American immigrants like to imagine that they are shaping Israel and of course the yankee orthodox are amongst the real settler nutcases these days.
