This guy admits Israel only took control of Gaza AFTER they kept firing rockets into Israel. Stop firing rockets. That's all there is to it. Unfortunately backwards Islamic culture promotes violence. Will Palestinians ever become civilized human beings? Only time will tell. If they could all renounce the bloody religion of Islam it would be much easier.

Not so sure the current GDP is no where near that hi. And Spengler is from Israel, so what help can he offer since he wants things to look much better then they appear for his countries benefit. The stats for that study only included Arabs who lived within the confines of the state of Israel.

All cultures go through an internal and external conflict. Yes, go back a little bit of time, watching Japanese soldiers in Manchuria competing each other to see who can kill more was BARBERIC indeed. The original Japanese that came from the mainland have done the same to my people, Ainu tribal people and stole our islands with weapon. So, what are we going to teach our children? Why should it be legal to profit in investing into the weapon industry or any segment of it.

Yes. The hamas group was created by israel. I government proxy to keep the peace. The recent peace acord of June 2008 lasted up until just over a week. Because the deal was that israel would leave gaza, and remove border control(prison camp). Israel failed to follow the rules of the agreement. Hamas retaliated with fire crackers(Qasam). So food can get in since this was cut off too from israel. LONG LIVE HAMAS. To help free these people from the Jewish (fake russians) oppression.

Fact: Israel started Hamas.

Fact: Israel never wanted peace.

Israel has turned Gaza into a concentration camp.

Israel is an abomination, whos mission seems to be to prove Hitlers final solution correct.
