Arabs cope because they're poor and Israel is rich.

GDP is literally the worst method in existence to compare economies

They're using the same cope yuropoors do when they find out Alabama has a higher GDP per capita than the vast majority of European countries.

this is a bit unfair considering the population difference between egypt and israel

Per capita chads, does he have a point?

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "I'll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."

"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"
