14. 'Found your nation on greed, racism and fear'?

More than any other nation?

And where does GREED come into it?

Israel may indeed 'embody the worst aspects of Europe and America' (though not all of them; they do not seek war and conquest far from their own borders, for example) but then so, by definition, do Europe and America! Do you consider all these countries to be 'founded on greed, racism and fear'? Exhibit these qualities, yes - but 'founded on them'?
