What are they basing this on? It isn't like they go through standardized testing... This seems to be a bit of a racism just randomly dropped somewhere folks can then use on forums like this one, to claim that an entire population of people are somehow "less than" another population of people.
I get that Hamas = Bad, that one isn't difficult. But just moving in the area drops your IQ? I don't think so...
It doesn't. volsrock just hates dark-skinned people. He has no love for Jews either.
As for the IQ issue, IQ is difficult to measure due to cultural and education differences. Additionally, and not being sarcastic here, a lot of the smart people left Gaza decades ago.
Add to this the fact that too many dumbasses think "High IQ = Better People". That's not true as Ted Kaczynski and Ted Bundy proved. There are also different types of intelligence so scoring well on an American IQ test isn't necessarily an accurate indicator of their intelligence or value in certain professional fields. Unfortunately, it's the best tool available so tests like SATs and ACTs help identify people with intelligence and a well-rounded education.
