Interesting number; 139.

Watching the evening news tonight, I learned that the Gaza Strip consists of 139 square miles. Gee, that number seems familiar....................

With 2.9 million residents and a 54% unemployment rate where 6 out of 10 adults are unemployed and is iron fisted controlled by a terrorist org that is bleeding the citizens dry while operates as a multibillion dollar corporation.

The $500 million a year we give them,to me would be better spent in fixing Detroit then there.

Thats a little landmine of a thread thought you planted there lol

So the Gaza Strip is the size of Detroit. Big deal!

The difference is the population:

Gaza 2.38 million
Detroit 685,000

Race: Gaza Strip

90% Arab Muslims and Arab Christians
6% black [[African Muslims and Christians fewer Jews)
1% Israeli Jews
1% Israeli Arabs
1% other

Race: Detroit

77% black
13% white
7% Hispanic
1% Arab Muslims
1% Asian

Gaza is like a piece of Palestinian city-state that looks the old ancient city state of the Philistines.

Detroit is shaped by 300 years of annexation of its neighboring townships.

Gaza Strip is still in conflict with the State of Israel for actually thousands of years.

Detroit is conflict with mostly white suburbs for 70 years.

Gaza Strip is bombed for hundreds of years turning into Detroit-like ghetto hood that rivals that South Bronx.

Detroit has been bombed by rioters several times since 1801 that rivals the Gaza Strip and will look the South Bronx.

Over the years the Arab Palestinians did flight from their strip, but they will keep coming back.

Over the years mostly white Detroiters did their flight and most of them since their older generations will never return, but their young white folks are slowly coming back. It's more Black Detroiters is just fed up against sudden gentrification, high crime, poor schools, looking at abandon buildings so they are quickly moving causing its population to decline.


It's the tale of two cities... A city nation of Palestinian Gaza Strip and a nation City of Detroit.
