Study: Income inequality growing faster in Israel than in other developed nations
Bank of Israel report cites lack of state involvement, heterogeneous population growth for the disparity; study also indicates growing gap between educated, uneducated.

Income inequality grew faster in Israel than in other developed countries, a Bank of Israel report indicated on Wednesday, adding that over the last 20 years, the salary gaps between educated and uneducated workers grew while salary gaps between men and women narrowed.

The report ascribed the growth of income inequality, among other reasons, to a lack of government effort to bridge the gaps, as well as the Haredi and Arab population's relative lack of workforce participation.

According to the report, the inequality in net income by ethnicity in Israel is drastic compared to other developed countries, and since 1995, inequality rates have continued to rise faster than the average rates of developed countries round the world.

There are many reasons behind the high levels of income inequality, and the gaps between Israeli GDP per capita and the average GDP of developed nations. One such reason is the heterogeneous nature of Israel’s population.

For example, the ultra-orthodox and Arab populations are have a very high birth rate in relation to populations in other developed nations, but also have low rates of participation in the workforce, a factor that makes for a lower GDP per capita and income inequality.

Here's a report from Israel.

Okay, why are Jews stealing lands from Palestinians if they're of a "socially higher class?"

Nothing can contrast to the inhumanity of the Holocaust in my opinion; and yet, one would think the Jews, who've been victims, would be more hypersensitive to the plight of Palestinians, which they have caused. It's like Apartheid that once existed in South Africa. Israel has grown so powerful for such a tiny state with the help of the mighty US, that its forgotten how persecuted it was once upon a time during WW2. "Those who do not remember the past are bound to repeat it."

The link that I posted above details Israel's laws and how they discriminate against non-Jews. For those interested in reviewing the "FACTS" of how Israel continues to discriminate against Palestinians is detailed against international laws.

Did you get to commit any war crimes, Foofie? Given your background, the opportunities were endless. Given your sickening personal biases, you come off as a very willing candidate.

You never studied sociology or didn't learn anything from taking the class(es).

It's also a wonderful emotional crutch for those who don't believe in their own self worth as individuals.

I might have been born into a higher social class than someone else. Just conjecture.

No American can ever be born into a "higher social class" than anybody else for two reasons:

1. They don't have a class system in the US, everybody is the same class (they keep banging on about it, so it must be true)

2. All Americans are chavs and will never be anything else.

I do not know what a "chav" is.

I hope you are not including one's teeth in your analysis, since Brits tend to have horrible teeth. No dentists on your island nation?

The US is the only one that has used nuclear weapons, twice, then lied its ass off about why they were used.

The racist US used them on Japan, murdering hundreds of thousands of innocents just to make a political display, just to advance their position in SE Asia, just to be able to grab the wealth of others.

The US specifically targeted civilians, another war crime.

The ill-treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli jails is "widespread, systematic and institutionalised", a UN report says.

The study, by the children's fund Unicef, described some of the practices used in dealing with children as "cruel, inhuman or degrading".

It acknowledged Israel had made some "positive changes" in its treatment of young detainees in recent years.

Israel said it would "work hard" to adopt the report's recommendations.

According to the report, an estimated 700 Palestinian children aged 12 to 17 are arrested by Israeli security forces in the West Bank every year.

It said ill-treatment typically began with arrests carried out in the middle of the night and continued through to prosecution and sentencing.

The report said unacceptable practices included "blindfolding children and tying their hands with plastic ties, physical and verbal abuse during transfer to an interrogation site, including the use of painful restraints".

It said during interrogation, some detained children had been "threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault, against themselves or a family member".

"Treatment inconsistent with child rights continues during court appearances, including shackling of children, denial of bail and imposition of custodial sentences and transfer of children outside occupied Palestinian territory to serve their sentences inside Israel," it said.

Alongside the criticism, it noted a number of "positive changes" made by Israel in its handling of Palestinian minors in recent years.

This included new hand-tying procedures designed to prevent pain and injury, a requirement to inform parents of a child's detention, and for children to be informed of the right to a lawyer.

Responding to the report, Israel said it faced a "difficult new reality... [with a] recent surge in the involvement of Palestinian minors in acts of terror.

"The existing methods and facilities were designed with adult terrorists in mind. Such methods and facilities are of course unsuitable for children. As such, Israel will need to adjust to this uncomfortable and unfortunate reality, and the efforts Israel is making to do that are evident and were noted in the report."

He's pig ignorant, and you're right, he's definitely a chav.
