Earthquakes are random events. How many people they kill is predetermined. In Haiti this week, don’t blame tectonic plates. Ninety-nine percent of the death toll is attributable to poverty. So the question is relevant. How’d Haiti become so poor?

The Israeli connection has been widely reported in the Israeli and European press.
