Bobert can either put his statements in context or continue to be a blowhard.

Oh??? Then why have the Palestinians been hearded like cattle into what amounts to be concentration camps... The West Bank has the highest density of any place in the Middle East... That is a "concentration camp", Brucie... You don't have to have the gas chambers to have a concentration camp..

Sorry Bobert, I misread your previous post re the West Bank. It is not even close to being the densest populated area in the Mid East or almost anywhere. According to Encarta, "In 2008 the estimated population of the West Bank was 1,495,681. Population density was 255 persons per sq km (661 per sq mi)."

The Gaza Strip with multiple thousands per sq km is as I noted not even the most dense in the Mid East.

Hey, ya'll... Ya' ever looked at satilite picture of the West Bank??? I don't give a flyin' fig if ya'll wanta play games about how packed it is.... It is packed with people.... When you think of it's size... Ahhhhh, no bigger than the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, it is one very packed and "concentrated" population center.


Actual real world facts: The West Bank has a population density of 758 people per sq mile compared to 2560 in Bahrain, 920 in Lebanon and slightly higher in Israel with 750 per sq mile

District of Columbia area = 68.2 square miles Population 2006 = 581,530 Density = 8529 people per sq mile
West Bank area = 2263 sq mi


Come on Bobert, put it in context for us so you can give your lungs a rest. Also tell us what GFS dodged?
