First of all, there is no scientific basis or evidence supporting the idea that any national, ethnic, or demographic group, including Palestinians, is inherently less intelligent than another. Human intelligence and cognitive potential are distributed broadly across all populations globally. Variations in standardized testing scores or academic metrics between different global regions are driven by environmental factors rather than innate ability. These include access to quality schooling, economic stability, nutrition, health infrastructure, and political stability. "trying to live in peace with Israel"—what a beautifully poetic concept! Because nothing says "let’s be peaceful neighbors" quite like Israel doing absolutely everything in its power since 1948 to ensure a Palestinian state remains a fictional concept. Let’s look at Gaza: decades under military occupation, followed by a promotion to an "open-air prison" where Israel graciously controls every single exit by land, air, and sea. Truly, a textbook definition of peaceful coexistence! You can't just oppress an entire population, strip away their future, and then act shocked—pointing fingers like a disappointed schoolteacher—when human nature kicks in and they actually dare to resist. "Oh look, they just don't want peace!" Right, because who wouldn't love living in a cage? And speaking of intelligence, I highly doubt Palestinians are any less smart than anyone else. In fact, they are vastly superior in one specific discipline: survival. What they have endured over the last century would have completely broken any other society, yet they are still there. When you look at the comical asymmetry—what the Palestinians have to defend themselves versus the endless mountain of advanced weapons and billions in cash funneled into Israel—it is beyond impressive that they’ve kept both their existence and their spirit alive. Meanwhile, on the other side, some Israelis apparently experience a total existential meltdown if they are denied entry to a zoo. They feel so remarkably entitled that their logical response is to attack the zoo owner's mother with a cowardly Molotov cocktail. Truly, a masterclass in disproportionate outrage.
