The Persians had some pretty hot chicks before the Ayatollah brought the burquas back.

Threats to one's survival are a powerful motivator. Israelis are "outbreeding" the ethnically undifferentiated Arab squatters in Israel, have been for a while now.

“Jews in the US have a particularly low birth rate around 1.5, so I don’t think the religious heritage alone explains it.”


Religious heritage only matters if one is actually religious...otherwise, it is just DNA.

The non- or only slightly religious have much higher intermarriage rates, and then have less children per couple on average. The more religious one gets, the less intermarriage and the larger the number of children per couple. The problem for Jews in the US is that probably 80% are JINOs, so only 20% is actively boosting their population. It’ll likely still decline for a while, but will pick up as the religious become a higher percentage of the Jewish population. Of course, a lot of the religious leave for Israel, which goes far toward explaining the current state of American Jewish and Israeli demographics.

“Israeli men are equally as hot.”


Well, now, that depends on one’s perspective, doesn’t it? :>)

“hot chicks in the islamic world are few and far between. “

Actually, Persian women are often very beautiful.

Arab women, not so much.

Why thank you. But I am very married.

In seriousness, the real reason, I think, behind Israelis being generally good looking are:

1. Physical fitness. We have a draft. And men and women (typically) stay in the reserves for most of our adult lives. I’m well past middle age but still lift heavy, watch my diet, and do sprint work -— because I have to stay at a certain level of fitness to make sure the ejection seat in my ride won’t break my back if I had to use it(and I can fit in it). Most countries are a lot fatter.

2. We are literally from all over the world. So there are lots of people that fit whatever people like. (Like blonds? Plenty of those? Redheads? Sure. Weird combos like dark skin, blue eyes, and black curly hair? Yep.)

3. We’re generally pretty smart.

4. The entire country is a couple of miles from a beach at any given location. So people stay in beach shape, to reinforce #1.

I have a relative who married an Islamic man. I was at the wedding. I’ve never seen so many brown eyed beauties in my life.

A love of family will do that for you.

Being willing to sacrifice your children on the altar of selfishness tends to make for empty nests.

They don’t realize that the ultimate cost is living a selfish, lonely and empty life. Love is the true commodity of life. Love involves risks and pain, also vulnerability, but is worth everything.

Without it, you may not miss it until you come face to face with your own emptiness. Many do many things to cover up, even from themselves, their inner emptiness, trying to fill their emptiness with many things. The only thing that truly satisfies is LOVE.

Genesis 1:

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Israelis are always close to death by terror/war/traffic accidents. They still live in the shadow of WWII.

Jewish values dictate that one should marry and raise a family whether you are religious or secular. That means it is, in essence a “Conservative” society believing in the sanctity of marriage and having kids.

While the Western young couples invest thousands of Dollars on Pet clothes, food and pampering, Israelis invest in their kids. They now have a lot of dogs there too but the main emphasis is still on God, life, family, country, defense, promise and hope.
