Positively bizzare effort by Amnesty International to count trees
According to the report, Israel has destroyed more than 3,000 Palestinian homes, most of them in the impoverished and densely populated Gaza Strip, since Palestinian Israeli fighting broke out more than three years ago. The report also found that 10 percent of Gazaâs agricultural land has been destroyed and more than 226,000 trees uprooted there in 2002 and 2003.The Gaza strip is 360 SQ KM and densely populated. Lets assume there is some agricultural activity, and lets further assume that say 10 SQ KM is forested. This is also certainly way to high. It means there are 23,000 trees per SQ KM (assuming those nasty Jews uprooted all the trees in the area), which is a density you might achieve in a Christmas tree farm when the trees were a few inches high.
