Israel is not independent though - its formation is tied to the British Empire. Jews are also a small minority in relation to the general population but the wealthiest are major players in world affairs. IMO the same cannot be said for Africans who constitute a large population but whose resources are mostly under the control of colonial powers. I think there are different dynamics involved in the comparison. I overs your point though.
Hope I am not butting in . . .
