Gay rights, death penalty, healthcare, more socialist, much more self critical media, far more liberal court system, significantly better on environmental issues, leaders in stem cell research, better on immigration (for example from Ethiopia, Sudan), state subsidized public college tuition, better labor unions.
Gay Rights Gays can not legally marry in Israel they must go elsewhere as do inter-religious couples, the media in Israel is little different from the US, stem cell research goes on in the US also and in fact some cancer patients are sent here from Israel for treatment, any superior environmental research is due to the need to survival needs and immigration oh I am so glad you brought that one up here is a series from +972 about the fate of Somalis, Sudanese and Ethiopians meet in Israel that include special prison camps where they are detained for indefinite periods Israel allows Jewish immigration but if you are not Jewish and a poor Black African refugee your fate is likely indefinite imprisonment or worse

state subsidized collage hmmm I wonder if the US subsidizing fully 25% of Israels military budget helps that along?
Israel had its first Arab President back in 2007 named Majali Wahabi, lead speaker of the knesset.
Mr Wahabi filled in for a couple of days when Katsav unexpectedly stepped down due to rape charges and everyone else was on vacation at the time
Israel had a female PM back in the 70's named Golda Meir.
so did Pakistan her name was Benazir Bhutto
so did India her name was Indira Ghandi
The Knesset currently has an Islamist party within it (Raam Taal). Imagine the USA with reps in Congress from al-Qaeda bashing US policy on a daily basis
imagine US Congress member comparing other US government officials to terrorists oh wait we do we call them Republicans but I do find it informative that you compare Arab citizens of Israel to terrorists
