Time for some welfare reform for the Palestinians
Betsy's Page —
Gunnar Heinsohn in the Wall Street Journal's European edition clarifies how UN-sponsored (and US-funded for over 30%) welfare is subsidizing a baby boom in Gaza. The reason for Gaza's endless youth bulge is that a large majority of its population does not have to provide for its offspring. Most babies are fed, clothed, vaccinated and educated by UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Unlike the U.N. High Commission for Refugees, which deals with the rest of the world's refugees and aims to settle them in their respective host ...

But I think a lot of people don't realize the mathematical absurdity of his claim that "In the decades to come, North America and Europe will have to take in tens of millions of immigrants anyway to slow the aging of their populations."

The Numbers
Alarming News —
The Numbers Check out this really interesting article in the WSJ about how the Palestinian population boom, encouraged and paid for by western countries via the UN, is contributing to the ongoing warring in the region. Some interesting numbers: In 2005, when Israel was still an occupying force, Gaza lost more young men to gang fights and crime than in its war against the "Zionist enemy." Despite the media's obsession with the Mideast conflict, it has cost many fewer lives than the youth bulges in West Africa, Lebanon or Algeria. In the six decades since Israel's founding, ...
