Journalists Are Dodging Rockets and Online Attacks as Gaza Crumbles, by VICE

Sometimes ya just need to get as many nonviolent civilians and refugees as you can out of an area, and then just lay waste to it.

How do you tell the nonviolent civilians from the fighters?

And, since Gaza is the most densely populated place on the planet, it's really not practical to evacuate all 22 million of them.

It's more like 1.2 million, and more than that commute in and out of New York daily. Move them out and turn the place into a parking lot.

I would be willing to put a wager that will eventually happen. Some idiot fanatic is going to get a hold of a WMD and use it. Which will give Israel an excuse to "turn the place into a parking lot".

Where do these figures come from? Or that Gaza is so densely populated, there is no place to store weapons away from civilians (a simple look at google maps shows that to be obvious bullshit).

"Gaza has an annual population growth rate of 2.91% (2014 est.), the 13th highest in the world, and is overcrowded.[4][5] There is a limited capability to construct new homes and facilities for this growth. The territory is 41 kilometers (25 mi) long, and from 6 to 12 kilometers (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide, with a total area of 365 square kilometers (141 sq mi).[6] As of 2014, Palestinians of the Gaza Strip numbered around 1.82 million people.[5]"

San Francisco has 837k in 49 square miles, and exceeds a million people during business hours, mostly in the downtown corner of town. This would translate to 2.4M (and 2.9M) in a place the size of Gaza.

That rather high population growth rate seems to belie the claims of genocide we keep hearing.

Maybe one is the natural result to the other.

Yeah
Then Gaza Strip has more populated areas and less populated areas. As you said, a simple google earth view will show these claims of being the most densely populated in the world, are far from being true.
But, if you repeat something enough time...

My apologies to the thread. I repeated something I heard, but I either misunderstood, or what I heard was wrong.

Back to your regularly scheduled bickering.

I find it difficult to imagine that, if it were you in that position, someone could kill enough of your friends and family that you would no longer hate them.

Interesting turn of phrase there - so now using a WMD on someone is "giving them an excuse" to fight back.

pretty sums up one side of the discussion perfectly, doesn't it?

Are you proposing just kill them all?

Uh . . . no.

Well, I imagine you could kill everyone who was friends with someone who had been killed, but that would include you and me, and with the possible exception of some hermits living in the mountains, everyone on the planet.
