Let's look at the facts: the average yearly GROWTH rate for Arabs in what is now Israel over the last 30 years is a little over 3%. They are thriving. The average yearly growth rate for Jews living in Iran over the last 30 years is -5.2%. Jews in Iran are not thriving, they are dying at a rate of approximately 1/2 every 12 years. I guess that answers your question. Thu, 7 Jan 2010 05:45:30 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9CVO0NO0#IDComment50770019
