Comments on: German Radio Denies Gaza “Big Lie” Accusation http://blog.z-word.com/2009/01/german-radio-denies-gaza-big-lie-accusation/ Commentary about Zionism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism and the conflict in the Middle East Tue, 22 May 2012 16:10:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5-RC1.1 By: Robbins http://blog.z-word.com/2009/01/german-radio-denies-gaza-big-lie-accusation/#comment-2966 Robbins Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:25:16 +0000 http://blog.z-word.com/?p=802#comment-2966 "Saab Erekat has said that if the U.S. were attacked and the same proportion of civilians killed, it would be 400,000 - something to this effect." Saab should know that if the US were attacked by rocket fire from either Mexico or Canada the response would be much swifet and more ferocious than the Israeli one. We went to war with Japan because of Pearl Harbor and we killed hundreds of times more Japanese than they killed Americans. No country would put up with its citizens being rocketed by a foreign power. The Israeli response was quite measured considering the provocation. “Saab Erekat has said that if the U.S. were attacked and the same proportion of civilians killed, it would be 400,000 - something to this effect.”

That might be the origin of Zuckerman's claim. Perhaps he misremembered or willfully misunderstood Erekat, or something. Of course the radio station should correct.

And this is clearly noted at the end of the written text as dispalyed by the radio: * Nach einer Richtigstellung des Interview-Gastes wurde die Zahl der Todesopfer abweichend vom O-Ton nachträglich geändert.
