Zionists attack palestinians with sharp objects

Yesterday, Elder of Ziyon noted that Israel was being charged with Real Slow Ethnic Cleansing. In response to the charges that Israel is carrying on genocide or similar smears, Elder of Ziyon writes:

According to the CIA Factbook, there are 1,482,405 people in Gaza. The mortality rate is 3.74 deaths/1,000 population and the birth rate is 38.9 births/1,000.

This means that this year one can expect some 5500 Gazans to die, and over 57,000 to be born.

The upshot is that even if 50,000 additional Gazans died this year - ten times their normal rate - their population would still be higher next year.

To kill that many Arabs, Israel would have to adopt the methods of Syria or Saddam's Iraq or Jordan or Iran or Egypt (with that nice chemical weapon touch in Yemen) or....

Nope, when it comes to killing Arabs, Israel is out of its league.

Ah but, the Zionist have now hatched a new nefarious plot attacking Palestinians with sharp objects.

Israeli authorities fear that along with the new influx of livestock will come a wave of diseases not indigenous to Gaza, among them foot-and-mouth disease and the avian flu that are known to exist in Egypt. Because of the proximity between Gaza's population to Israeli towns, the diseases could easily spread into Israel.

Those fears fueled Israel's decision to send thousands of vaccines into Gaza beginning next week, said Shadi Yassin, a spokesman for Israel Defense Forces unit in charge of contacts with Gaza.

That's one of the complications of circumventing customs. And Israel is taking the initiative to ensure that it doesn't cause problems in Gaza. That's a funny kind of "ethnic cleansing" or "genocide" going there, isn't it?
