Fifteen million is greater than one and a half billion

We were not born into the digital world.

And it is a good thing we weren't.

We used to race our homemade wooden go-karts as if we were giving Formula 1 drivers a run for their money.

We would play for hours, clacking stones together.

We followed the Tipitip cartoons.

We had wooden swords.

And cap guns, too.

We would stage neighborhood wars.

While fighting, we would recruit supporters from other neighborhoods just to increase our numbers.

Numbers were very important; they meant power.

They call us Generation X.

Those born between 1965 and 1980.

It is not like that now.

Children have digital devices in their hands.

The number of friends is low, the number of devices is high.

They have WhatsApp groups.

They call them Generation Alpha.

Those born after 2010.

Generation Z are those born between 1990 and 2010.

After X, Z, and Alpha, comes Generation Beta.

The generation that will be born between 2025 and 2039.

In less than 100 years, four generations have emerged: X, Z, Alpha, and Beta.

In this process, numbers have lost their importance; value creation and capacity for impact have come to the fore.

A similar situation existed in the America–Japan war in the Pacific.

Even though Japan had a higher number of soldiers and greater resistance, it surrendered due to two atomic bombs with high impact power.

In the Palestine war, the fact that Muslims have a population of one and a half billion did not yield results.

Israel, with its fifteen million, devastated the Muslim geography with bombs more powerful than those in 1945.

With a single move, it detonated ten thousand Hezbollah members' devices from their pockets.

Perhaps that is why no country's corvette could escort the Sumud Flotilla heading to support Palestine.

Perhaps they were afraid of what happened to Hezbollah.
