Five Ideas for Israel to Advance Palestinian Happiness From 122nd to 9th Spot on the World Happiness Index

Rise and shine world! The 2021, World Happiness Index is out today and low and behold Apartheid Israel is logged at an impressive number 9 spot, while Palestinian territories are a distant 122nd in the rankings (they actually included the Palestinians territories). I looked through the document and no where does the word occupation appears, settler violence, checkpoints or Apartheid, which gives the impression that we are dealing with normal dataset and conclusions but not the deep causes behind it. I am all for identifying the corruption in the society but the lucky cloud nine Israelis are directly responsible with the US for every aspect of Palestinian society and the imposition of the current elite to rule over the Palestinian Bantustan and its security infrastructure.

Yes, yes, yes, Palestinians have a “happiness deficiency syndrome” and we have lots of work ahead of us to make it to the top ten. I know we are such a funny people that we make a joke out of everything the Israelis do to us daily but time is running out and we need to get serious in this happiness business- how else we are going to make it from 122 to 9, without laughing our oppression out of existence.
