Save The Poor, Starving Gazans

From Elder of Ziyon:

  1. More evidence the media is directing the impression of GAZA like a movie:

    • Israeli shells slam into Gaza as troops near population centers

    Near population centers? But, but, I thought GAZA was the most densely populated region on the planet . . .?

    Meryl Yourish can be heard tearing this media fantasy apart on Shire News Network near marker 33 Podcast 154 Goes Back into Gaza

    Fallacy number 3: Gaza is the most crowded place on earth. Bullshit.
    *Gaza has about 4200 people per square kilometer.
    *Singapore and Hong Kong have more than 6000.
    *If you count the suburbs of Tel Aviv, there are more than 5,000 people per square kilometer in THAT city.
    *Mumbai, over 27,000 . . .
    *Calcutta, 24,000.
    *Moscow,
    *Tokyo,
    *Warsaw and
    *London all have more people per square kilometer than Gaza.
