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?

By definition, the average IQ of a population is 100. To quote any other number as "average" is to lie.

I don't think so.
If you research the history of IQ testing, you come across a lot of dishonesty. The IQ testing done in the 60's 70's has been shown to be fatally flawed and deliberately misleading. Quite apart from the diffficulty in creating meaningful cross cultural comparrisons, the IQ tests that - for example - were used in the 11+ tests contained deliberately falsified results so as to conform with the pre-desired outcome of the openly racist researchers.
The above data has very little meaning contained within it and the authors would have to justify their conclusions before intelligent[sic] people take them at face value.
Those posting them here have dubious intentions - as much as those who constantly point towards the supposed increased intelligence of jewish intellectuals via their over-representation in academic awards (hardly suprising considering the makeup of the awarding panels!).
This nonsense has no place in reasoned discussion, either about the ME or in considering the 'winners and losers' of capitalism.
