Palestine: pouring money into a bottomless pit : Comments

By David Singer, published 4/6/2013

The belief that economic prosperity for the Arabs living in the West Bank will bring a lasting end to the conflict has proved worthless in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

The bottomless pit into which America has been pouring money for half a century is of course racist Israel, and Zionist racists break into a frenzy of yapping like this every time the prospect arises that support of any kind may be accorded to the owners of the territory the Zionists have stolen for their enclave.

Well, Singer, there is only one solution: Move the Children of God to another location so that they stop being a running sore to the whole of the Middle East.

Of course, no nation on Earth would welcome them given their track record since 1947 but surely there is an uninhabited island somewhere that is large enough to support them.

The Falkland Islands sounds like a possible place and they could get on with their Militaristic Theocracy without worrying about neighbors!

And the cooler weather might be therapeutic for the hotheads.

Israel:pouring money into a bottomless pit!

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/cost.html

"Israel has a population of approximately 7.7 million, or a million fewer than the state of New Jersey. It is among the world's most affluent nations, with a per capita income similar to that of the European Union.[1] Israel's unemployment rate of 6.3% is much better than America's 8.2%,[2] and Israel's net trade, earnings, and payments is ranked 146th in the world while the US sits at a dismal 193rd.[3]

Yet, Israel receives more of America’s foreign aid budget than any other nation.[4] The US has, in fact, given more aid to Israel than it has to all the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean combined—which have a total population of over a billion people"

And then there is this.

Thank you, David G. I laughed my head off.

If one over riding fact demonstrates the failure of Islam to provide societies in which their people can be free and can prosper, it is the glaringly obvious connection that the more Islamic a Muslim state is, the more economically and socially backward it is.

It is no surprise that those Muslim countries that are the most insular, despotic, mullah ridden, and repressive, are the biggest Isreal haters, the most staunch opponents of free trade, and the most enthusiastic supporters of Osama bin Laden and his suicidal Jihadi's. Guess what else they have in common? None of these nations even belongs to the hated World Trade Organisation. which, with 142 members, is hardly an exclusive club. The Muslim world itself chooses to live in self imposed economic exile and is suffering terribly because of it.

The extreme poverty that exists in Islamic countries, is a product of their own religious beliefs and almost every Muslim country is an economic basket case. Muslim economies are growing, on average, only 1% a year. But Muslim populations are growing, on average, at a disastrous 4% a year. Muslim societies are great believers in breeding like flies and Muslim families are noted for having very large numbers of children. This factor alone is instrumental in their appalling levels of poverty, superstition, unemployment and ignorance.

Their own attitudes to family size and birth control has condemned almost an entire generation of young Muslims to be bereft of employment or a future in their own countries. These angry young men are simply becoming recruits for terrorist organisations who seek to blame everyone else but Islam for their own woes.

Muslims covet the prosperity of the West and dream about our consumer goods and lifestyles. But they will not accept the liberal values and secular philosophies that have created that prosperity. All they can do is dream about the virgins in paradise, gatecrashing a western country, or bobbing up and down on prayer mats five times a day waiting for Allah to solve all their problems for them.
