I was not hinting at any conspiracy, and my comment wasn't directed toward Israel in particular (knowing nothing about the study that the top-level comment alluded to).

I was facetiously pointing out that a population where everyone eats peanuts at a young age is likely to be allergy-free if only due to the fact that those with peanut allergies would die, and therefore would no longer be allergic to peanuts. A naive analysis of the data could lead to a conclusion that eating peanuts at a young age causes a favorable change in allergy outcomes later in life.

For the record, I don't agree with your edit saying that your original comment deserved the downvotes it got. I'm not sure if people just completely missed the point you were making, or if, as I think likely, the current political climate around Israel/Palestine led to a few pro-Israel people wrongly assuming you were being anti-Israeli, but either way I'm glad you contributed and were able to clarify what you meant.
