ANSWERS
 
1.) Rank these countries according to life expectancy (longest first)
 
i)                 Gaza Strip – 73.4 years
 
ii)                Egypt – 72
 
iii)               Brazil – 72
 
iv)               Turkey – 72
 
v)                World average – 66.6
 
vi)               Russia – 66
 
So you can expect to enjoy an extra 16 months if you were born on the
Gazan side of the Rafa Crossing than if you were born on the Egyptian
side.
 
The average West bank Palestinian does better still, at 74.5, which
may well be explained in part by Question 3.
 
And given that the average Gazan lives longer than the average Turk,
perhaps those ‘humanitarian’ flotillas should be heading in the
opposite direction.
 
 
2.) Rank these conflicts (since 1950) in terms of number of
casualties.
 
i)  Sudan civil wars – 1.9 million casualties
 
ii)  Repression of Kurds – 300,000
 
iii) Russia–Chechnya – 140,000
 
iv) Burma/Myanmar – 130,000
 
v)  Sri Lanka – 8,000
 
vi)  Iranian Revolution – 80,000
 
vii) Zimbabwe – 60,000
 
viii) Arab-Israeli conflict  52,000
 
In fact the Arab-Israeli conflict comes just 49th in the list of the
worst conflicts of the last sixty years, many of which are,
shamefully, completely forgotten or ignored by the western press.
 
 
 
3.) How many Palestinians were treated in Israeli hospitals in 2010?
 
     180,000  These included many thousands of patients from Gaza,
despite its government’s constant attacks on Israeli citizens.
 
Israeli hospitals would be able to treat many more Palestinians if
security was not an issue. Before the 2000 Intifada was declared, any
Palestinian could simply arrive at an Israeli hospital and be treated.
 
 
 
4.) Which of the following organs of Palestinian society are under
“occupying” Israeli control?
 
 Education system ? The judiciary ? The press ? Taxation?  None of the
above!
 
 Compare this to, say, the complete lack of autonomy of the Kurds and
other minorities in Turkey.
 
 
5.) Rank these countries by rate of economic growth (GDP, 2009
figures)
 
i)                  Palestinian Territories (8%)
 
ii)                 Brazil  (7.5%)
 
iii)                Hong Kong  (6.8%)
 
iv)                Egypt  (5.1%)
 
v)                 Israel  (4.6%)
 
vi)                Germany  (3.5%)
 
vii)               Australia  (2.7%)
 
After the economic depression which accompanied Arafat’s Intifada War
on Israel, and after the building of the Security Fence to protect
Israelis from terrorist aggression and restore security to the West
Bank, things are definitely looking brighter for the Palestinian
economy.
 
 
 
6.) The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has passed more resolutions
against Israel over the Palestine question than against all other
nations combined.
 
Which of these countries are not currently serving on the UNHRC?
 
Sweden and Canada are not on the UNHRC, whilst China, Russia, Saudi
Arabia, Cuba and Pakistan are.
 
 
 
7.) How much of  Gaza’s electricity is supplied by Israel?
 
         70%
 
Israel supplies over 70%, Egypt a ‘generous’ 5%, with the remaining
25% coming from the Strip’s lone plant.
 
 
 
 
8.) Rank these countries in order of family home ownership.
 
i)                 Palestinian territories  84%
 
ii)                 Italy 78%
 
iii)                United States 65%
 
iv)                Sweden 60%
 
v)                 France  54%
 
vi)                Germany 43%
 
 
 
 
9.) Since Arafat launched his Intifada War against Israelis, the last
decade has been by far the most costly in Palestinian lives in the
history of Israel-Palestinian relations.
 
How many Palestinians have died in conflict with Israel since 2000?
 
Less than 10,000 (Around 6,000, combatants and non-combatants.)
 
 
To put this in perspective: 20,000 are feared dead in one month in
2009 of the Sri Lanka conflict
 
Between 50,000 and 70,000 have died in the same decade in Chechnya,
whilst 35,000 people have died inMexico’s drugs wars since 2005
 
.
 
10.) In the Second Intifada War against Israel, how many Palestinians
were killed by other Palestinians (the “Intra-fada”)?
 
  570  Or, more precisely, 557 according to B’Tselem. For some reason,
few, if any, international protests were heard on such Palestinian-on-
Palestinian killings.
