I agree with you that claims of overcrowding in the gaza strip are a myth. However, your conclusion is very wrong. Which is quite surprising because you seem to be a very smart person. You treat "The Palestinian Plight" as if it's "only" or "mainly" about the "overpopulation". In reality however, overpopulation, while it might be something that News reporters might enjoy talking about, is the least of the Palestinians' worries!! Here's a huge Wikipedia article about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict As you can see, nowhere in it does it talk about overpopulation, the Palestinian Plight is about freedom, equality and human rights, not about traffic jams!
