Less Than 1% of Palistinian Families Are Suffering
Israel is being called a Nazi state. Protestors are carrying Israeli flags with Swastikas in place of the Star of David. The Iranian President is calling the attack on Gaza a "Holocaust."
And less than 1% of Gazan families are suffering?
I don't know about you, but the reaction sounds a bit disproportionate to me.
From Power and Control:
CNN reports that
"Hundreds of families in the Gaza Strip are suffering, not only [from] the fear of airstrikes, but also the lack of electricity, lack of water, lack of food supplies," Saud Abu Ramadan, a freelance journalist who lives in Gaza City, told CNN's "American Morning."A terrible tragedy to be sure.
So let us run the numbers. First let us go with the official population figure of 1.5 million. Then let us say that hundreds of families is 300, and further let us assume that each extended family has 20 people. That would then make it .4% of the families in Gaza are undergoing serious hardship. And if the the officialpropagandistjournalist is exaggerating for effect it is probably a lot less than that.
