That is a bit inaccurate. The foundings of those two nations were completely different. Tons of money poured in from outside sources both private and from other nations to help Israel especially after the Holocaust. The people who immigrated had a culture and religion and purpose in common and a connection to the land. Liberia was never set up to be anything but a place to “repatriate” freed slaves and free born blacks (ethnic cleansing) many of whom did not want to go, had no connection with the place or the cultures there.They were given Israel.
You were given Liberia.
Take a look at the current state of Israel and the current state of Liberia and reflect on my previous comment.
