There is also the likelihood that even those ratios are like that after the pro-Israeli factor.
They could very well be more than that but you can't shut them all up. So that 36 to 1 might be after the fact.
Just from the populations you mention, which is obviously a super rough calculation, if we assume all Muslims to be pro Palestine and all Jews to be pro Israel, we would be expecting something like 60 to 1 ratio.
So the existence of that 36 to 1 might even be the result of the bias.
I am not saying this is the case, I'm just saying don't dismiss the claim simply based on the ratio you see.
