It's not so much the "not being cool" that bothers me, it's the not caring about it.
Israelis have become so sure of two things: That the world doesn't and will never like us, and that the world owes us. We just don't care anymore, and the article addresses that perfectly.

As for the article you linked, I sincerely doubt that the prosperity of the entire world depends on the percentage of Jews there (as the second paragraph seems to suggest) since you just have to look at how Israel is doing economically and politically to realize that's not exactly accurate I do, however, like that view a lot more than the "Jews are responsible for all the world's woes" concept, which seems to be far more predominant. Or maybe that paranoia I talked about earlier is getting to me as well...

Anyway, it's always nice to see yourself from the outside Thanks for the link.

In reply to this comment by Crake:
This article might cheer up your national sensibilities after the "not cool anymore" thing... honestly have I no idea though, might be crazy, offensively biased for all I know. I found it on a libertarian blog that I don't trust to be a hundred percent sane, but still read as a guilty pleasure. I'm a bit curious what you as an Israeli thinks of it.
