My personal favorite is the transistor, upon which nearly all computers today are built. Yes, the Brits came up with the binary computer (thanks Alan Turing), but what made it ubiquitous was the solid-state transistor and the integrated circuit board (both from the US).

AK-47, "Ural" electroguitar (the shittiest ever lol), vodka, the earliest conception of rocket engines (Cyolkovsky), Radio (Popov), periodic table (Mendeleev). But I am not good at sciences, so 1,2 and 3 are the best
It's ridiculous to say that "The Internet" is an invention. Networked computing existed before ARPANET. It's like saying that the car was invented in the US simply because they took the first step towards making it ubiquitous.

Try again. Israel has over the last few years produced many an interesting prototype/invention. A quick google on the subject mentions various recent inventions/designs including one that allows diving under water without the need to carry a tank of oxygen and a hydrogen fuel cell that sounds like it's actually practical.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
Jews invented Judaism which led onto the creation of Christianity and Islam, fuck that
vodka
if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
Africa invented humanity.
Big mistake imo.
Shit, the Middle East/South America/North Eastern Africa invented civilisation.
Another big mistake imo.

Edit: Ohh there's oug from Greece, but he said he'd abstain to make it fair for the rest of us .
Australian Inventions:
- Football (Yes thats right AFL was invented BEFORE any other kicking ball game)
- The vapor-compression refrigerator (Like any true Aussie was invented for the sole purpose of cooling his beer)
- Electric Drill
- Powered Flight
- The tank
- Nuclear fusion
- Ultrasound
- Variable rack and pinion steering
- Bionic ear
- Jindalee Radar System - (The United States of America spent $11 billion developing an aeroplane that could not be detected by radar. Scientists at the CSIRO then concluded that if the plane could not be detected, perhaps the turbulance it makes passing through air could be. $1.5 million later, the Jindalee Radar system had transformed the stealth bomber into nothing more than an unusual looking aircraft.) lol, Australia > US
- Winged Keel (a winged keel that helped Australia II end the American's 132 year ownership of the America's cup.)
