I know the utility and validity of IQ tests are highly questionable, and fash gonna fash.
But I’ve seen this posted a couple times and it keeps making me wonder - isn’t it much more likely that the causes of any negative cognitive effects the Palestinians are suffering are malnutrition, CPTSD, and disrupted education?
that’s ignoring the fact that they don’t even have potable water, let alone iq tests. this is just stupid inside and out. it just shows the intelligance of the original poster.
Similar method as nazis pointing out the lice and typhus epidemic in ghettos. Sure there was typhus and lice, it do happens when they lock up way too many people at way too small space and then starve them and deny other necessities like water.
Yeah, comparing populations with IQ is specious BS, but you can track IQ over time and see what messes up people’s ability to take a test pretty easily. One that sticks out in my mind is kids in American schools who don’t get breakfast scoring something huge like twenty points lower even when you control for other factors, the constant deprivation of living in Gaza undoubtedly does huge damage.
