2011] THE NEW JUDEOPHOBIA 85
of 2,955,000 over a period of 40 years between 1967 and 2007—a growth
of 73,875 new settlers every year; 6,156.25 new settlers per month; 205.21
new settlers per day; 8.5 new people per hour. The population of the “occupied
territories” multiplied by 400% in 40 years; this involves a monthly
growth rate of 10% per year during these 40 years. It’s really amazing to
find such immeasurable blindness; an example of someone (an intellectual
yet) comes to mind who doesn’t see a problem with both situations (the
killing of 10% per year from a population against a growth rate of 10% per
annum of other populations).
For another example, we can still say that if Europe’s Jewish population
had grown at the same rate as the Palestinian demographic (10% for the
past 64 years), today this population would be 70,280,000 people, while the
current world Jewish population is just over 13,000,000 people. If the
Palestinians had suffered an extermination equivalent to that suffered by
European Jews (a population decrease of 10% a year), they would have
completely disappeared by 1977.
Adolf Eichmann states that 100 deaths are a tragedy, while 100,000
dead only are statistical. In view of the data compared above, the true progressive
intellectual sector asserts that an average annual population growth
of 73,000 new people in the Palestinian territories is a genocide. Truly
absurd.
There is no doubt that both situations are unique in a mental exercise
of the virtualization of historical facts (worthless, as counterfactual exercises
are nonsense). Despite this, too many intellectuals fall into the trap of
uncritically repeating the propaganda slogan raised by Jews, who impose on
the Palestinians what the Nazis previously did to them; moreover, it is even
true that Israelis are implementing a genocide of Palestinians as they face
their detractors. We need to understand genocide, as defined in 1948 at the
convention for the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide in a
resolution, adopted under the number 260 (III), that was approved by the
General Assembly of the United Nations on December 9, 1948, and came
into force on January 12, 1951.
Article II says:
In the present Convention, genocide any of the acts referred to below
means perpetrated with the intention to destroy, in whole or in part, a
national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such: • Massacre of members
Palestina), and even 5,500,000 (according to the article: Palestinians Se Han Multiplicado
Por 7 times from the Nakba [catastrophe] of 1948.) Internet: http://

estimate, which is enough to show the absurdity of the comparison
between two historical facts.
