The Israeli Army reported that it is unable to stem the flood of illegal immigrants infiltrating to Israel from the Sinay Peninsula. Last year about 20,000 succeeded in crossing the border and disappearing in Israel, and according to the report, there are one million persons waiting in Sinay the opportunity to enter Israel. The Beduins take 2,500 dollars per head to lead them to Israel, and the price is going up. About a quarter of the population of the Southern city of Eilat is illegal - Egyptians, Saudis, Sudanese, Erythreans and so on. The Army proposes an electric fence at a cost of 1 million dollar per kilometer. In a way, this is a perverse triumph of Zionism, millions of Third Word (and East Europeans) are desperate to become Israeli and Jews.

Eastern Europeans?
Sveiki!
Yes,R.... they think or maybe are Jews' just like "Beta Israelis".
From "Liberal" American Israeli-
"Jewish Atheist said...
1) I think one important point often overlooked by the anti-immigration crowd is the immense good it does for the immigrants. Shouldn't we all be happy when so many people's lives are improved?"
Mirror have other side to!
Yes, Eastern Europeans.
Kind of off topic, but I have been spending way too much time wikisurfing, and found this article which is a list of countries by per capita GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity. I always assumed that Israelis had a per capita income of around $17k, but the article puts your per capita GPD at around $28k. This article gives nominal per capita GDP, also at around $28k.
I seem to have missed an entire decade of Israeli development. At the rate you advancing you will probably catch up to us in another decade, and we are at $47k.
Oops.
Even farther off topic, but as part of my uncontrollable wikisurfing today I came across a wiki article about a book written in 2006 by Richard Lynn claiming that Israeli Ashkenazi have an IQ of 103. Here is the relevant sentence from the article:
Ashkenazi Jews who Lynn classifies as South Asian/European hybrids, average 107-115 in the U.S. and Britain, and Ashkenazi Jews in Israel average 103.
I hate to beat this further, but wiki has a list of the number of Nobel prizes awarded per capita here.
On a per capita basis Israel ranks ahead of the United States, even though we have 320 prizes, and Israel has 8.
Ww are just beginning.
What I would really like to see is what the Israeli and American ratios would look like with the various (intellectually) unproductive groups removed. I think America's ratio would be higher if we only counted Hebrews, White gentiles, and Asians. Just like America I would like to see what the non-Ethiopian, non-Arab ratio would look like for Israel. I can't say Israeli Ashkenazi since the various fair skinned Jewish groups are intermarrying too fast to be counted separately.
I would suspect that the intermarriage of the southern Europeans would lower our total, but that could very well be unfounded bigotry on my part, data would help.
Let me beat this a little farther. I was on the master list of all Nobel laureates by country on wiki and did not see Brazil listed, but I did see a Brazilian immigrant to the US listed. Strange.
Ronduck, AFAIK, there is no evidence that N. Europeans are any smarter than southern. In classical times southern Europeans were considered civilized and N. Europeans thought of as wild barbarians who sometimes sneaked across the border the way illegal immigrants do today. Lynn colors all of Europe the same on his IQ map. Blondes may be better looking to some but they aren't smarter.
As for the Israeli Ashkenazi IQ being only 103 vs. the American Ashkenazi IQ of up to 115, I question how this data was gathered - in all areas where Ashkenazi Jews are present they have shown themselves to be a group with intelligence noticeably (around 1 standard deviation) above the surrounding population. And unlike Asian intelligence, Jewish intelligence is not only in mathematics but extends to the verbal realm - thus Jewish dominance in areas such as law. This superior intelligence was their evolutionary survival strategy in the same way that superior strength and speed was the survival tool of the Africans.
If I remember correctly Lynn's map was of the native populations of those areas before mixing with other groups. Wikipedia has an article about the book IQ and the wealth of Nations that states that Greece has a national IQ of 93. I would imagine that southern Italy would have an IQ that is approximately the same.
The reason for the lower IQ is that the peoples of those areas have mixed with other groups, lowering their current IQ from what it was in the past.
