Jews before the Holocaust
(1939):~16.6 million
Jews today:~16 million

Palestinians(1948):~1.4 million
Palestinians today:~15.2 million

After white Europeans did what they do best..
Estimate 10 million Jews in 1948

If
1.4 million Palestinians have produced 15.2 million Palestinians in 78 years
it follows (very roughly)
10 million Jews should have produced [(10/1.4)*15.2] 108 million Jews

From the expected 108 million Jews we only find 16 million
So where are the missing 92 million Jews?
What happened to 92 million Jews?

Or is there something flawed in the way the spin is intended to work?

Not all countries and cultures have the same birthrates.

Palestinians: The Palestinian population experienced some of the highest fertility and natural growth rates in the world during the late 20th century. In Gaza and the West Bank, women historically averaged 5 to 7 children, and while that has decreased recently, a very young population base ensures continuous, rapid momentum. Globally, the Palestinian population has grown from 1.4 million in 1948 to an estimated 15.5 million today.

Jews: The majority of the world's Jews live in highly developed, secularized urban areas—primarily the United States and Israel. Aside from the Orthodox and Haredi sectors, Jewish birth rates globally follow modern Western trends, which feature later marriages and significantly lower birth rates (often below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman).

Well spotted! Was your spinner about the "Gaza genocide" actually about birthrate? It would be fair comment if it was but it (falsely?) claimed to be about genocide.

No matter the birthrate, it cannot be a genocide, by the group whose population still hasn't fully recovered from 1945, of a group that has grown over 13 million. If the latter can out-breed a genocide... while also training up suicide bombers... that is remarkable. Or... it's just falsely attributing intent... where no actual evidence exists.

Falsely attributing intent is the psychological tendency to assume someone's actions are driven by malicious, deliberate motives, rather than accidental or situational factors. This is most often driven by cognitive distortions like the Fundamental Attribution Error and Hostile Attribution Bias.

@Syne.
You're presenting the sort of nonsense that goes on in your head as though it has any meaning to anyone else *. The total number of documented suicide bombers between between 1981 and September 2015 .. a total of 4,814 .. below statistical significance even if all were carried out by Palestinians.

In fairness there are many sharing the same delusions .. which is perhaps what makes you think they are 'real'.

See how you cherry-picked my post to ignore the main point? No? Meh.

You and your kind will continue to spread your delusions no matter what I post .. I accept that I am wasting my time.

That's rich, considering you won't engage with the actual argument. Obviously too much cognitive dissonance.
