Israel seems like a place of such dichotomies. There seem to be equal numbers of great and terrible things about it (sort of like the US, I suppose). I guess that is bound to happen in a democracy, where all opinions can be represented. The line about crime being lower among immigrants is telling, because it is the same here; we are also a nation founded by immigrants who are now xenophobes.
