Strange question since diferent people may define success diferently. But in general it is the same as everywhere else. People who willing to work a lot to reach their purposes succeed more then those that just sit and wait for success to fall on their laps. In this aspect Israel is no different than any other place that guarantees basic freedoms. BTW to those who want to jump and scream that arabs are discriminated in Israel - there are quite few arabs both with and without Israeli sitizenship that succeeded in making very florishing businesses in tourism, jewelry trade, constraction etc.
