Comments on: Gaza: More Odious Comparisons http://blog.z-word.com/2009/01/gaza-more-odious-comparisons/ Commentary about Zionism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism and the conflict in the Middle East Tue, 22 May 2012 16:01:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5-RC1.1 By: Noga http://blog.z-word.com/2009/01/gaza-more-odious-comparisons/#comment-3312 Noga Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:32:22 +0000 http://blog.z-word.com/?p=927#comment-3312 I read this comment on TNR blog. I think it makes a pertinent point, directly destabilizing the argument put forth in the quoted excerpt above: "CNN is reporting 1300 Palestinian fatalities, and 22,000 buildings destroyed. That works out to one person killed for about every seventeen buildings taken down. Strikes me as pretty amazing. I'm confident that German and Japanese cities that had a similar number of buildings destroyed had exponentially more casualties." http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_spine/archive/2009/01/20/the-palestinians-lost-the-battle-of-gaza-but-they-won-the-battle-of-london.aspx#comments I read this comment on TNR blog.

It would even be against the law in many EU countries to criticize them.
