#1 Re: IQ - slippery concept - cannot be separated from literacy. If you have a population that can't read they will show very low on an "IQ" scale.

#2 @1 OTOH it is a medical fact that habitual inbreeding over multiple generations does have grave negative consequences.

#3 The real danger of this cultural inbreeding IMHO is cultivating traits like dangerous mental instability that need not necessarily correlate with a low IQ.

As for the article, maybe Israel could reciprocate by giving the next batch of released terrorists some complimentary samples of Israeli communications technology, like smart phones and pagers.

#4 Oooooh, Elmerert Hupens2660, that’s really mean. Hysterically funny, but cutting-like-a-scalpel mean.

#5 @4 Not remotely 'mean' as 10/7, not remotely as mean as these 'gift bags', and unlike 10/7 totally non-violent.

#7 I would suggest that 'gift bags' of their captor's scrotums would be appreciated more.

#8 Gift bags with pictures from their captivity and a memorial photo of Gaza. Talk about tone deaf.

Anyway, auction them off and donate the proceeds to the IDF. Pay for the bomb that annihilates the mutherfxckers.

#9 So Gazans are low IQ because they are inbred illiterates.

#10 Illiteracy causes ignorance but not necessarily a low IQ.

In any case, these polities have by and large been sufficiently intelligent to play the Western political and intellectual class like a cheap fiddle for decades, an exception to this rule being Israel's successful ant-Hezbollah campaign of 2024.
