thought i'd send this to a few people and it might be useful for someone. i was wondering how big the gaza strip was. turns out its about as long as from seaford to worthing but with about 3 times the population. not far off the area covered by a supersaver bus ticket... just helped me get it into perspective a little bit...

The worlds corporate media is an accomplice and if they can get away with massacring the Palestinians as they have been doing for the last 10 days lets face it the sonner the Palestinians get out of the hell whole that they are living in the better for them. Don't ask me where they should go but go they certainly will. Here's the Israeli map of the area ...
