Hatem Bazian, the appropriately named antisemitic terror supporter, has gone on an unhinged rant regarding Israel being ranked 5th in the 2024 World Happiness Report.
Of course, Israel is not committing a genocide as this inveterate liar alleges, but the genocidal actions of Hamas on October 7 (conveniently not mentioned by Hatem) did impact our happiness – we slid down a spot from last year.
Regarding Israel the report’s authors said that the survey was conducted, “After the hostage taking (on October 7th) but before much of the subsequent warfare. Life evaluations fell sharply in Israel, by 0.9 on the 10-point scale, only one-third of which will enter the three-year averages. In terms of just 2023’s evaluations, the report’s authors say that Israel would have been ranked 19th. The UK is ranked 20th in the report and the US 23rd.
What Hatem needs to realize is we rank high in the Happiness rankings because that is the Jewish and Israeli way. In fact, he uploaded his video 5 days ago, coincidentally right before the Jewish holiday of Purim, one of the happiest of the Jewish celebratory. What happened on Purim? The Jews were saved from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman (one letter off from Hamas, no less).
Hatem seems like a very unhappy guy. Perhaps he can impersonate a Jew again and feel some of our happiness?
