Subject: RE: BS: Israel Moves in.
Percentages are great things, aren't they? Only 0.02% or whatever of Gaza's long-suffering citizens have been blown to bits by Israeli bombs etc., Well it sounds better than over 1,000 people and 5,000 wounded anyway, I suppose. And you can do some more algebra and math until all those dead people don't look like very much really. Like Stalin is reputed to have said "the death of a million men is a statistic"
I wonder how long before someone says Jesus was betrayed by only 13.2% of his apostles?
