Healthy Genocide

Everyone is accusing Israel of genocide. However, as the Arabs like to say, it didn’t start on October 7. For example, here’s a headline accusing Israel of genocide from 1976. Ironically from the nation that has committed the most genocides in European history:

In fact, most people talking about genocide claim it’s been ongoing for 77 years or, if they’re feeling generous, for 58 years. Because, again, it didn’t start on October 7.

I know these days you can be accused of genocide without killing or displacing a single person—For example, I’m regularly accused of genocide for telling off-color jokes—nevertheless, I thought it could be interesting to take a look at the numbers.

Between 1967 (that’s when Israel conquered the territories from Jordan and Egypt) and 1987 (the eve of the first Intifada), the Arabs of Gaza, Judea, and Samaria experienced the following changes to their quality of life:

• Annual per capita income rose from $80 to $1,700, an increase of 2,125%

• The GDP increased by 200%

• The number of cars increased by 1,000%

• Infant mortality dropped from 110 to 40

• Crude death rates dropped from 14 to around 3.5

• Population doubled (In the 77 years since Israel was created it increased six times!)

• Households with electricity increased from 30% to 85%

• Households with safe water rose from 15% to 90%

• Households with a refrigerator rose from 11% to 85%

• The number of universities rose from zero to seven (more on that later!)

The majority of these statistics have continued to improve since the ‘80s up to the moment the people of Gaza decided to open the gates of hell and release the flood (yes, I’m also confused.)

So, what does it mean?

If Israel is conducting a genocide for nearly eight decades, it’s the least effective genocide in human history. Many countries in Africa, South America and Western Asia could benefit from the same kind of genocide.

For example, less than 20% of Liberian households have access to electricity. In Burundi it’s less than 8%! The infant mortality in Afghanistan is 112.8. Almost three times higher than that of the Arabs living under the genocidal Israeli occupation up until the moment they were swallowed by the flood from the gates of hell.

In fact, let’s save time. Going by HDI, there are 81 countries with a lower quality of life than that of the Palestinians before the war. This means that most people on the planet have lived in worst conditions than the Palestinians until recently.

So what does this teach us?

Arabs cannot be bribed. When they say they only accept martyrdom or victory, they mean it. An increase in their quality of life won’t contribute to peace or security. It will only make them a more dangerous and determined opponent because it will provide them with more resources.

Give $1,000 to your enemy and he won’t become your friend. He’ll just become an enemy with $1,000-worth more weapons.

The cause of their belligerence never was and still isn't poverty or ignorance. The toxic brand of Islamism promoted by the Islamic Brotherhood was spread by educated men who went to the above-mentioned universities that were created and funded with Israeli help.

The root of the problem, as well as its solution, lie somewhere else…
