"The population grows and flourishes."
The population may grow - an aspect of many poverty stricken countries - it is an obscene lie to claim that it flourishes.
Israel has reduced Palestinian territory to a ghetto, created 5 million refugees and as spent nearly a decade in trying to starve it into submission.
To describe that as "flourishing" it equivalent to passing Auschwitz off as a health camp.
You are totally and rabidly insane in your unqualified support for Israel
That's what all of this is about.
