Perfect example of obfuscation of facts. Manhattan and London has many times more square miles of living space above the ground in high-rise buildings & apartments. If all those buildings were destroyed and the people had to live spread out at ground level, it would be worse than the most hideous overcrowded jail. Practically all apartment buildings in Gaza has been either destroyed or severely damaged. Each time one is eliminated, that is an awful lot of square meters of living space that simply is no more. So it is correct to say that Gaza is the most densely-populated area in the world - certainly much more dense than Manhattan or London.

When Palestinians stop attack on Israel there will be peace that second.

with Muslims who only want to kill all infidels - with the Jews being the most handy targets?

Paul is right, but that's not the full extent of Ms. Erbe's poor reporting. Gaza is NOT the "world's most overpopulated spot". Gaza has a population density of 10,665 people per square mile. By comparison, the population density of Manhattan is 70,951 people per square mile, and the population density of London is 10,596 people per square mile.

"Hamas fighters murdered four Israeli soldiers this week as the talks began. How can two sides negotiate as long as Hamas flouts Palestinian Authority control?"

They killed two couples including a pregnant 25 year old!!! How can someone in your job be so wrong. Disgraceful.
