Palestinian Children fair better than their Arab neighbors |
In spite of JVP's squeals about "starving Palestinian children", a new UNICEF report shows that Palestinian children fair much better than their Arab neighbors. Children in the disputed territories suffer less from stunted growth due to maternal and childhood undernutrition than others in the region.
Palestinian Territories- 10%
Lebanon - 11
Jordan - 12
Oman - 13
UAE - 17
Saudi Arabia - 20
Kuwait - 24
Iraq - 26
Syria - 28
Egypt - 29
Yemen – 58
An estimated 200 million children aged under five in the developing world suffer from stunted growth due to maternal and childhood malnutrition, according to the report.
Yet JVP and its allied groups remain silent on the plight of the children of Yemen and Egypt and throughout the Arab world. Its as though only the Palestinian children counted to them.
With approximately 10% of Palestininian children experiencing stunting between 2003-2008, the disputed territories are on equal footing with Turkey, Tuvalu and Bahrain, which at last glance, did not suffer from Israel's "brutal and genocidal" occupation. |

Its a well oiled PR machine |

Sadly, I've learned from experience that the palestinians have a well-oiled Propaganda machine. A friend from MIT went on the Free Gaza trip- she stayed in a really nice hotel in Gaza city, with a swimming pool and 5 diffreent restaurants. They attended a banquet at Haniyah's house- it was a huge villa with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. The money that is sent to Gaza to help the Gazans goes into Hamas's pocket. My friend said the people of Gaza were offered 1.5 million dollars from Hamas for every Israeli soldier they brought across the border, dead or alive. If Hamas has that kind of money, no one would be starving. |
