israel spends 200 times more per capita on defense than Iran
Something is very wrong with this picture . . .
Israel spends almost 200 times more per capita on its military machine than Iran's defence spending, comparative military expenditures compiled by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) revealed.In its latest Military Balance, the London-based institute cited the defence spending of Israel at [$]9.8 billion in 2005, nearly twice the amount for Iran, despite having a population of less than a tenth of Iran's 65 million.
In per capita terms, Iran's military expenditure in 2005 was equivalent to only [$]81 compared to [$]1,565 spent by Israel, which was almost the same as the US and twice the proportion spent by the UK.
Of course, these figures make no sense whatsoever in the context of the mythical narrative israelis push on the rest of the world - namely, that israel is a poor innocent secular democracy trying to defend itself against Iran, the fundamentalist Islamic aggressor, trying to spread Islam around the world by force.
It makes perfect sense, however, if instead you accept the reality that israel is a belligerent group of Jewish supremacists determined to maintain their supremacy in the Arab Middle East, using raw military power.
Iran's proportion per head was also less than half the average of [$]193 spent by other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region.The highest per capita military expenditure in the Persian Gulf was by Qatar, [$]2,547, ahead of Kuwait's [$]1,885, the UAE's [$]999, Saudi Arabia's [$]960 and Bahrain's 726, while Iran was by far the lowest.
Note that all the countries listed are riddled with multinational corporations aligned with Bush and his zionist neocons in their so-called 'war on terror' (read: war on humanity).
In real terms, Saudi Arabia's defence spending of [£]25 bn in 2005 was almost five times that of Iran's despite having less than half the population.
Military Balance also showed that US military expenditure of [$]495 bn was almost twice the total spending by other NATO countries and accounted for more than 40 per cent of the world's total.
Among NATO members, the UK's per capita defence spending of [$]855 was almost twice the average, excluding the amount spent by the US.
In the EU, Britain's military expenditure of [$]52 bn was second to only France's [$]53 bn in 2005, but far greater than Germany's [$]38 bn and Italy's [$]31 bn.
It's time for people around the world to wakeup and remove from their eyes the zionist lens which continues to twist the obvious realities that surround us.
it must be even more annoying when you realise whose money it is they are spending on all that weaponry. It certainly isn't their own!
israel blows 200% more cash to blow the shit out of folks! Not on defense. Iran spends on defense israel does not. She spends her Shekels on killing Arabs exclusively. She defends by conquest of others even without cause or right. This IS going to stop. Watch out for the hand of justice israeli death merchants. Your work is catching up to you.
And no amount of propaganda will ever change this. A pretty dress never hides a Whore. Ever.
