Subject: RE: BS: Six Day War 50 Years On
Steve, you raised the issue of life expectancy of Arab Israelis.

When Israel was created, those Arabs within its borders had their life expectancy increased compared to those Arabs left outside.
Those Arabs were the lucky ones.

Israel has been good for them, improving their health and life expectancy.
One cheer for Israel.

That is comparing like with like.
There are many possible explanations for the difference in life expectancy between Jews and Arabs in Israel, but it can not justify you always and only criticising Israel while ignoring the faults of all its neighbours.

Tiny sliver of land that it is, Israel is the only Jewish State in the world.
Is that the problem?
