#1 Is it just me, or does anyone else here think that they're not gonna stop trying to pick up dates at family reunions in spite of the fact that there are four people (at least) in the clan with this genetic problem?

If your family tree resembles a telephone pole....you are gonna have problems.

#2 Ultimately, this is very sad. And infuriating, that such a result has been visited on these hapless kids by their elders' mind-numbing stupidity and brutishness.

#3 I thought liberals already reassured everyone that marrying cousins is safe?

#4 Until the sex-change operation is completed, Palestinian officials won't change the gender on their identity cards to "male," thus restricting their access to higher education.

The heart bleeds.

#5 "There are an unusually high number of male pseudohermaphrodite births in the Gaza neighborhood of Jabalya, where Nadir and Ahmed live.

yeah?

I knew there was something about Hamas that was swishy. Maybe it was the way they thrust their crotch at the camera during gun sex...but never seem to do too well in a fight.

cant win a War that way, honey. Oh, and the appeal to send money.
Yeah, Palestinians.

Sirhan Sirhan in the slammer for life, pushing that Library cart from cell to cell. And his new name in the cell block ( he's had it for twenty years at least) is "Goodpussy". We have so much to be thankful for from the Palestinians. They give new meaning to the word. "ASSet."

#6 Palestine is just a small sample of the rest of the Middle East

From that I deduce that its a rampant problem across the whole of that shit hole.. But do I care , no .

#8 IMO, ROPers' inbreeding caused physical aberrations are nothing compared to mental aberrations.

#9 Its not just the cousin marriage problem. It the intraclan marriage problem. If clans intermarried more the genetic variance would be greater.

#11 No doubt the Left and U.N. will blame Israel for it and not the Islamic Culture. After all: All cultures are equal right?

Kinda makes me wonder if rape might balance out to be a "good" thing in this kind of culture. The kind that doesn't involve a family member, that is.

#13 Stanley Kurtz addressed the question of cousin marriage (and its connection to the veil) in this excellent article and why any form of democracy is not likely to happen in any Muslim Middle East country (or Afghanistan)anytime soon.

#17 "Roughly 1 in 10 affected"

I assume it's recessive, which means at least twenty percent more Gazans are silent carriers of a single copy of the defective gene, concentrated in certain family lines. Then there are all the other ugly little genetic issues, both physical and mental, not mentioned in the article.
