If

to
offend
every
single Palestinian Arab terrorist group, all of whom, the Palestinian
Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP and the DFLP, issued
press releases denouncing him. American media outlets have been
denouncing him for saying that the GDP Per Capita differences
between Israel and the Palestinian Authority represent a contrast in
values.
The official media narrative is that these differences are the results
of oppression, checkpoints and blockades. But then why does the
IMF put Israel’s GDP Per Capita well ahead of the oil-rich kingdom
of Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia
has no Israeli
checkpoints, no Israeli soldiers or planes flying overhead. It has
wealth literally pouring out of the ground with a fifth of the world’s
petroleum reserves. And yet the IMF puts it 13 places behind Israel
and the World Bank puts it 8 places behind Israel. The only Muslim
countries with a better GDP Per Capita than Israel are small
monarchies drowning in oil.
The non-oil Muslim countries who are closest to Israel are Malaysia
and Lebanon, 32 and 33 places behind Israel. Both countries also
have sizable non-Muslim populations. Muslims make up only 50
percent of Lebanon and only 60 percent of Malaysia. No Muslim
country without oil has a better GDP Per Capita than a Muslim
country with sizable Christian or Buddhist minorities.
What Romney didn’t mention, but should have, is that the
Palestinian Authority dealt yet another blow to its economy when it
drove out the Christian population. Christians in the territories have
traditionally made the best businessmen and the capital of the
Palestinian Authority was actually started by Jordanian Christian
refugees escaping Muslim persecution.
Israel has 1.2 Muslims inside the Green Line who account for 52
percent of its social benefits. Israel’s national unemployment rate is
5.6 percent. The Arab unemployment rate is 27 percent. Only 59
percent of Muslim men and only 19 percent of Muslim women are
officially part of the workforce. That’s compared to 56 percent of
Jewish women and 52 percent of Christian women.
The average Israeli family has double the monthly income of the
average Arab family. Half the Arab sector officially lives in poverty.
The Israeli Jewish GDP is nearly three times higher than the Arab-
Israeli GDP.
This could be blamed on the usual scapegoat of racism, but the
Israeli Arab GDP of $6,750 is actually better than the $5,900 GDP in
neighboring Jordan, the $6,540 GDP in Egypt and the $5,041 GDP in
Syria. This is the same range in which most non-oil Arab Muslim
states are grouped and it is clear that there is no escaping it without
a big petroleum reserve. Or like Lebanon with its $15,523 GDP, a
whole lot of Christians to actually work for a living.
Again culture is the determinant. Israel within the Green Line only
has about 150,000 Christians and about as many Druze, and both
groups perform better economically. Christian Arabs have a higher
employment rate and a better rate of higher education than
Muslims.
Apart from that official 1.2 million, Israel is also responsible for the
4 million in the Palestinian Authority (some of whom overlap with
that 1.2 million and some of whom are imaginary and exist only to
collect benefits from international agencies) who are still Israel’s
responsibility, according to them and to the world, even though they
also continue insisting that they want their own state.
The reason why the GDP in Palestinian areas is
so terrible is because its inhabitants live in a
giant welfare state. Palestinian Arabs were already receiving 725
dollars in per capita assistance. They don’t need an economy
because the United States and the European Union are their
economy. They don’t need a state because the UNRWA is their
state.
It’s easy to admire Israel for what it has accomplished, but it stands
out so much because of the region it’s in. Singapore and Hong Kong
are less remarkable because they are in a region where countries
don’t just give up and wait around for foreigners to come and find
oil on their land. In Asia, countries make things happen for
themselves. In the Middle East, if you’re not Jewish or Christian and
you don’t have oil, then you have economic problems.
But let’s leave the Middle East and head over to Asia. India and
Pakistan are divided by a GDP Per Capita difference of almost a
thousand dollars. India is naturally in the lead. Within India,
Muslims are at the bottom of the economic ladder. Their per capita
GDP is lower, their literacy rate is lower and they perform worse
than Hindus. And yet the average Indian Muslim annual income at
513 dollars is still higher than the average annual income in
Pakistan at 420 dollars. This remains consistent with the higher
Arab-Israeli income and lower Jordanian Arab income model
meaning that Muslims in non-Muslim countries will earn less than
the majority, but more than they would in a majority Muslim
country.

In Africa, Muslim Somalia sits next door to Ethiopia and Kenya and
its GDP is so small it can’t even be registered compared to $1,093
and $1,746 for them. You might try to blame Somalia’s civil war,
but Rwanda, which experienced a genocide, has a $1,341 GDP.
Niger with an 80 percent Muslim population and a $771 GDP sits
next door to Chad with only a 53 percent Muslim population and a
$1,865 GDP. Next door Cameroon has a 70 percent Christian
majority and a $2,257 GDP.
In Britain the myth of the hardworking Bangladeshi or Pakistani
storekeeper is practically sacred. In reality 70 percent of
Bangladeshis and Pakistanis live in low income households,
compared to 50 percent of Africans, 30 percent of Indians and 20
percent of the natives. Bangladeshis and Pakistanis not only have
dramatically higher unemployment rates than natives, but they have
higher unemployment rates than Africans.
If the issue were
racism, then
their unemployment rates would be in line with far lower Indian
unemployment rates. Instead Muslims have the worst economic
record in the UK. Pakistani Muslims in the UK are three times more
likely to be unemployed than Hindus. Indian Muslims are twice as
likely to be unemployed as Indian Hindus.
Again this fits the same model of Muslims from non-Muslim
countries being less economically inept than Muslims from majority
Muslim countries. The crucial difference between minority Muslims
and majority Muslims is culture. Minority Muslims do have their
own culture, but no minority group can entirely escape the values of
the majority culture. Arab Israelis and Indian Muslims absorb
enough of the values of the majority culture to perform better than
their neighbors in Jordan or Pakistan. And they even carry on these
absorbed values when they move to another country.
We can see the direct consequences of those values in action. In the
UK, Muslims have the highest dropout rate and lack of
qualifications of any religion. They have the highest male and
female unemployment rates. This isn’t racism, this is Islamism.
Muslims have the highest unemployment rate in Ireland. In Belgium,
Moroccans and Turks have a five times higher unemployment rate
of the native population. In Australia, Muslims have twice the
unemployment rate of non-Muslims and forty percent of their
children live below the poverty line. Muslims also have the highest
unemployment rate in Canada, 14.4 percent to a national rate of 7.2
percent.
The response to all these numbers is the usual cry of racism, but
racism fails to explain why Muslims fail more comprehensively at
home than they do abroad. If Muslims fail in the West Bank, then
Israeli checkpoints are to blame. If they fail in Canada, Australia
and Europe, then racism is to blame. But if they fail in Pakistan,
Somalia and Saudi Arabia– who is to blame?
Responsibility is the missing element. It’s the character value
without which there can be no economic success. The same lack of
responsibility that manifests itself after a Muslim terrorist attack,
when Muslims rush to position themselves as the victims, rather
than dealing with the violence in their midst, also manifests itself in
the economic arena and in every aspect of life. This lack of
responsibility is a failure of values that cannot be escaped or
ascribed to racism, the occupation or the boogeyman.
