By comparison, how many Israeli Jews have died in traffic accidents? How many Jewish babies were aborted?
The answer to the first question explains why the Arab-Israeli conflict hasn’t hurt Israel in any significant way (the country has prospered so much that someone who enjoys a middle class lifestyle from 1948 is today considered to be in dire poverty). The terrorists and wars haven’t orevented the zionists from building a modern economy whose fruits trickle down to most of the population, including the Hareidim, Sefardim and Arabs.
The answer to the second question is politically charged since it put the zionists in a very bad light (noting that both Jewish and Islamic law would prohibit most of the abortions performed in Israel).
Very sad statistics, but everyone reading this website already know that it’s bad. This news needs to be sent out to all of the rest of the world.
this state was build on the premises never again! meanwhile in the whole secular world combined that terror figure number would of be called a: holocaust indeed, but on the expanse of nationalisim there is no outcry, when is enough, enough.
