poor pallies living in 70% poverty during a water crises and their population is rising.

by 2010, if the water crises isnt curved or resolved, it will lead to more unnecessary suffering and deaths.

on top of that they got israel and the lack of genuine support from arab states.

last, but not least; SEE POSTS #33 and #38
If you want a source, 33% of Palestinians remained to live under Israeli control. Less than 1% of Jews remained to live under Arab control.

People generally flee governments that treat them poorly. Since Jews fled the Islamic governments at a far higher rate than the Arabs fled the Jews it is reasonable to assume that the Arabs treated the Jews worse.

This is also assuming that the causes of the violence against these Jews was analogous to the rebellious Arabs of Palestine which initiated their flight.


In the present day, your chart is quite meaningless. Civilian deaths is not a measure of right and wrong. Israel does not have to sacrifice civilians so as to be "more right".

A better indication of humanitarian care for the other side is this article:

How many Jews have ever been granted free health care in Arab hospitals?
