Unfortuantely that's an unrealistic statistic.

OLD ISREAL?
You don't even know the history of the region but you are bashing freely at the Jewish people living in Israel, and claiming they don't belong there?
Are you kidding?...
The Jewish people overtook the "land flowing with milk and honey" by slaughtering the "giants" (Canaanites) who lived there prior to 1200 BC. It was genocide with interest for land, plain and simple; I don't care what religious bull you want to try and stand behind...
Ever heard of the Canaanites, the ORIGINAL people of that land? You know, the ones who the Israelites conquered to take over the land as their own?
Or is that waaaaaaaayy back in history for you?
Professor Schreibman has received BARD grants for 12 years to research fish reproduction. Schreibman and his Israeli colleagues are working to accelerate the reproductive process, make fish reproduce outside of their natural spawning cycle and control the reproduction of valuable fish for farming. They are characterizing the hormones of striped bass, their gene expression and the timing of their release. They have cultivated a new species of fish and helped create a prosperous fish-farming industry in Israel. In the U.S., their research has led to the development of an evaluation kit to determine the optimal time for breeding striped bass. Schreibman called the collaboration a "valuable experience," commenting that Israel has some "outstanding scientists who, besides being my colleagues, have become my friends." He added that the Israelis he knows are "bright, hardworking and have goals in mind that they strive to achieve."
One team of scientists from the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station and Hebrew University discovered that the Trichoderma fungus species in soil can prevent diseases in emerging seeds and young plants. They produced new "super-strains" that are effective on a wide range of crops. One has already been registered with the EPA.
Genetically improved farmed fish, advanced technology in cotton crops, and lean chickens are just a few examples of the joint research projects conducted by Alabama and Israelthrough BARD.
Professor Rex Dunham of the Department of Fisheries at Auburn University has been an unofficial collaborator with Israel since 1968 and has received several BARD grants since 1979. Dunham has been extremely successful in his study of aquaculture genetics. The goal behind his project is to grow fish, such as catfish, carp and Tilapia, faster to get them to market quicker. By studying selective breeding, growth rates have increased by about 50 percent. Neal Smitherman initiated the fish genetics program at Auburn and because Israelis are the fathers of the field, and among the few aquaculture geneticists, they were obvious partners. Since then, Dunham said their friendship and collaboration has grown and solidified. Dunham added that his counterpart at Tel Aviv University, Boaz Moav, “is skilled in molecular genetics. We use some of their constructs. Two hands are better than one and discussing projects puts more heads and hands [together].”
Isreal should get the money , they are a Magnet for Terroism , help them fight Terrorism and stay strong.
