"Are we expecting TOO MUCH from Israel?"

Table: IQ by nation

A 60-page review of the scientific evidence, some based on state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain size, has concluded that race differences in average IQ are largely genetic. Larger brains contain more neurons and synapses and process information faster. Race differences in brain size are present at birth. By adulthood, East Asians average 1 cubic inch more cranial capacity than Whites who average 5 cubic inches more than Blacks.

We know that criminals and people who can't seem to live in a civilised manner are usually thick, so are we expecting TOO MUCH from Israel?

One race the human race+ billions of people of mixed ethnicity

have selective IQ tests etc been gathered on mixed people?.
Genetically different ethnic populations occured due to mixing& cliamtic reason+ diet. Easterners tend to eat alot more brainfood & many of their ancient philospies like buddhism have been kept more public & less hidden, "we" rely too much on technology at school etc.

We are one race, the undertones of your post appear racist & theres just no need for it. You should worry more about badly made or unscientific dodgy technologies that threaten the entire planet& global warming. What we need is alot more direct democracy not nazi-marxist genocide or capitalist chaos.

Have you noticed that white, western countries come out top and African ones at the bottom? This is not meaningful research, it's questions designed to produce this result to satisfy racists. Different people are better at different things depending on their experience and history, not because of what race/nationality they are. If the questions had been about how to survive in drought, or in the face of malaria without medicines, for example, rather than looking to western values, then the results may well have been reversed.

Everywhere has bright people and thick people. And all bright people have areas they can't begin to understand. And many so-called thick people can do some things better than some so-called intelligent people. We are complicated. We are one multicoloured rainbow human race. Let's celebrate our differences.
