1. Don't forget the #1 statistic:
CJ   (09.05.10)
World greatest liars. A layman might think there's a crisis going on in Gaza or the WB. While people starve to death in Africa, Asia, they are well fed but act like there's no food and cry for sympathy while they deliver more terror. 3 Palestinian steps: Shoot, cry, lie.
2. What about aid statistic
Chuck ,   Germany   (09.05.10)
Receiving aid from the EU, UNWRA etc. Number one?

4. The article is poorly written.. & #1
Yasir ,   Montréal, Canada   (09.05.10)
you're the world's greatest douchebag. [notice the 's in world's, idiot]
5. 8.5M (Million) Palestinians, 5.6M Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.06.10)
Total of 8.5M Palestinians in the WB, Gaza, Israel, and including 3M refugees and descendants outside of Palestine Israel. Compare that to 5.6M Jews in Israel. Jews are 40% of the true population of Palestine Israel if you include the 3M refugees, and Jews are 50.5% of the population if you don't include the refugees. Jews are "Minority Rulers".
6. weeee will weeee will ROCK U
Jalal ,   Gaza   (09.06.10)
7. Palestinians....
Daniel ,   Lima, Perú   (09.06.10)
palestinians reproduces like rabbits... they were close to 1 000 000 in 1948 and now they are 12 000 000. and the world wants Israel to accept the "refugees". and anothers wants a Bi-national state... thats imposible with that birth rate... that is their problem. if arabs reproduces like rabbits is their problem. if they have no room in gaza and west bank, is their problem. start living in 21 century... women are not baby makers. neither in africa, people reproduces like arabs

tel them that in afrika people have nothing to eat. let alon tv screens in nicly furnished house.
10. Numbers Guide
Nili   (09.06.10)
Its about time the world saw the truth. They also rank near the top for obesity. They are not suffering unless the press is around. Cut UNWRA and send some of the billions they are getting to the people in places like Darfur--they are really starving--where are all the "human rights" people for them??
11. SEND THE MONEY TO AFRICA NOT GAZA
Omri ,   Israel   (09.06.10)
thats where its really needed.
12. nothing
majeed ,   KL, Malaysia   (09.06.10)
“Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French...What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct...If they [the Jews] must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs... As it is, they are co-sharers with the British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them. I am not defending the Arab excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regard as an unacceptable encroachment upon their country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds.” Mahatma Gandhi
13. Benassi's numbers game
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.06.10)
Funny, if you include the other 7 million Jewish refugees then we're a clear majority. How many Italians are there in Silver Bay vs how many Native Americans? Gosh, Steve, it looks like the American success story shows that occupation and settlement certainly does pay! Or are you giving your house back to a Native American and going back to Italy where you come from?
14. Lies
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (09.06.10)
People all over the world know that Gaza is the biggest concentration camp in the world, and no stats will make them change their mind. How do they know? Well..they know and that's it. Were they there? Well..no, but they know and that's it. You show them photos taken at the new shopping mall, but still, Gaza is the biggest..etc etc..Arab propaganda is so effective that no facts can help. As you know already, Gaza is the bigg..etc.
15. Bath Math?
Dan ,   nyc   (09.06.10)
237,000 east Jerusalem, 177,000 Hebron, 133,000 live in Nablus 30,000 Arabs reside in Ramallah, ---------- 577,000 So where are the other 2 million others hiding in the westbank. in small villages? wouldnt be that small.
