Explaining the Arab-Israeli conflict through numbers
Dennis Prager's article "Explaining the Arab-Israeli conflict through numbers" is an attempt to put some context into the Arab Israeli conflict. But like Mark Twain said, "there are lies, damn lies and statistics". While I agree with Prager's view point, and the numbers he uses are true (well, I have not verified them but they look correct and I have no reason to doubt them), the numbers also do not tell the story.
Without the context of the numbers they are meaningless. I wish Prager would develop this story more or maybe ask Hugh Hewitt to run with it.
It is still worth reading as it gives a good snap shot of the bias Israel has and does face in the world today.
