Letter re War on Gaza's children
Thank you for publishing Saree Makdisi's "The war on Gaza's children."
According to the CIA's World Factbook the median age in Gaza is 16, with forty-eight percent of Gaza's population 14 and under.
In 1948 and after, Palestinian children died of diseases in the refugee camps which was their lot after Zionists dispossessed them and demolished their villages. Israel sees to it that Palestinian kids subsist on an anorexic diet while their Jewish counterparts all over the world are provided subsidies to immigrate.
