Dumb-Jazeera How Israeli Boycott Kills Arabic Children

Posted on July 11, 2009

Its not so far when I pointed at a typical economical leftist nonsense in the New York Times, and just yesterday Al-Jazeera scored. Lets go to the video

information value = zero so at least enjoy a pretty journalist

How many times I will have to say that trade is not a zero sum game? From trade profits both sides! Any regulation against the voluntary trade will lead to decrease of wealth on both sides.

Farmers want to end imports from Israel, how bad must be those Israelis who can sell their products cheaper, and why any Jordanian farmers did not protest when they were selling food to Israel during the Shmitta year. Actually I have my doubts that 2000 tons of food will ruin Jordan agriculture as it produces only 166 000 tons of cereal per year. What about the whole food production then.

Anyway even if it was a true why is so bad that the people in Jordan will have cheaper food? But I have an idea , all those loosing farmers can buy that cheap food and sell it in Egypt, couldn’t they?

It would not work?! Have you ever heard about boycott? The Israeli “Apartheid” boycott exists because they want to stop the killing of kids. Well it is not a bad idea isn’t it? There are now two kind of boycotts first is voluntary organized (by the way the site is using an Israeli technology) and second is organized by the Arab League.

But here still obtains that any forced boycott will harm both sides. For example Strategic Foresight Group had calculated that Arab states have lost an opportunity to export $10 billion worth of goods to Israel between 2000-2010.

Now do you know what is the biggest killer in the world? This is an example from great episode of  20/20 broadcasted many years ago.  (you can see worth of watching episode here)

risk

even in modern countries is the biggest killer poverty

By the way in Egypt for example organization Save the Children estimates that every year die about 60 000 kids as the result of the extremely big death rate for children under the age of five.

So I am just suggesting why the economy which have huge water consumption (4 times more than Israel per capita) and not developed agriculture if the world leader in agriculture is next door.

Just imagine if that rate fell only for 10% it would save 6 000 kids per year. For example between 2000 – 2007 has been killed about 1000 Palestinian kids by Israel, according to B’tselem (note that they are not much kosher numbers). Former Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir once said: "

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us

I know she was talking about suicide bombers, but with the boycott we are reaching absolutely new level. So who is actually bigger bad guy if 42 000 kids could be saved by cancellation of the boycott or if 1000 kids could be saved by “wiping Israel out of the map”?
