Israel is the only country in the Middle East with free elections. a free press. freedom of religion. protection for minority rights and other safeguards typical of a free society. Like the United States. Israel is a country founded by immigrants. Since its founding. the tiny state has absorbed more than three million immigrants from more than 100 countries. including Jews from the former Soviet Union and those forced to flee from Arab countries. A haven for Jewish refugees from around the world. Israel has also reached out to assist Jews wherever they suffer from persecution and has made the successful absorption of new immigrants in society a top priority. The United States and Israel have formed a unique strategic partnership to meet the growing dangers in one of the worlds most volatile regions. To support the U.S. war on terror since September 11. 2001. the U.S. and Israel share vital intelligence on terrorism. weapons proliferation and other threats. at a level of sensitivity almost unparalleled among American allies.
