    Because it is propaganda. Israel and Palestine have become very effective at propaganda.

    He's not factually wrong.

    Besieging a city and starving millions in the name of finding hostages or cells sounds like a page from Robin Hood with the Sheriff of Nottingham.

    The Jews in the audience understandably didn't feel safe in that environment. Probably won't until real peace is achieved, which is what Dave was ultimately getting at...

    Oh really?

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...int-turkish-airstrikes-civilian-hospital-iraq

    UN complaint lodged over Turkish airstrikes on hospital in Iraq

    https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-turkey-united-nations-iraq-f9f68a88170077f147d4a3386eda664a

    BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq has filed a complaint to the U.N. Security Council, requesting an urgent session to discuss a deadly artillery attack this week that Baghdad blames on Turkey, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

    Wednesday’s attack on the district of Zakho in Iraq’s northern, semi-autonomous Kurdish region killed nine Iraqi tourists, including a child, and wounded 20.

    Yeah - no.

    Putting up “missing person” posters in the USA and Europe is pure propaganda because no one remotely believes they are in the USA or Europe.

    Also calling something a new Holocaust doesn’t make it true - also, if we are going down that faulty trail, Gaza is far more like the Jewish Ghetto than Israel is.

    I get so tired at the massive amount of propaganda from both Israel and Palestinians.

    Have they been kidnapped, yes or no?

    The answer is yes.

    "Pure propaganda" is accusing Israel of killing 500 people in a hospital when 1) Israel did not fire a rocket onto that hospital, 2) the rocket came from Gaza, 3) the hospital wasn't hit, but the parking lot, 4) not 500, but maybe 50 people died in the self-inflicted incident.

    There is no moral equivalence. Stop trying to make it sound as if there is.

    Hamas are terrorists like ISIS.

    Reminding the world of the fate of innocent civilians held as hostages is not "pure propaganda".

    Israel has a right to defend itself.

    Thanks for checking the original source.

    Here is the paper that contains the IQ reference, it seems to have been published in a questionable source:

    https://www.scopus.com/record/displ...inward&txGid=ac7cfb1636980da873d3cd680632925b

    So a paper does exist. The tweet makes it seem like the consanguinity profiles and the IQ are in the same paper, but it's two different ones.

    There seem to be better studies which arrive at an average IQ of 85, which sounds more plausible.

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289614001093

    Still well below average in the Western world.

    However, let me make clear that this in itself doesn't justify any action, of course. In context, it might be viewed however as one of many explanations why the population might be slightly more prone to being manipulated by propaganda.
