Three common mistakes about Gaza:

1.Gaza is the most densely populated city in the world:

Gaza city is not even in the top 50. In fact, there are many cities in Europe and the USA that are denser than Gaza. For example, Paris.

2.Gaza is occupied by Israel:

Gaza has been 100% cleansed of Jews in 2005. Israel also formally declared an end to Israeli military occupation of the Gaza Strip. There is not even one Israeli soldier on Gazan soil. Israel doesn't fully control Gaza's borders either.

Gaza strip has a Southern border with Egypt, which fully controls at least one crossing, but chooses to keep it closed in support of the West Bank government.

This antiZionist polemic brazenly tries to persuade us that 6M dead Jews in Europe was better for the perpetuation of the Jewish people than the 600K Jews in 1948 who founded the Jewish state.
Now go back read the article with that in mind. Deny it if you dare.
