> Lets also not pretend that 141sq miles is tiny. It's small sure, but there are many other countries that have and do make do with it.

This argument carries no weight.

Countries smaller than Gaza, and their populations:

1. Vatican City (0.19mi^2): 764 (4,038/sq. mi.)

2. Monaco (0.78mi^2): 39,050 (48,624/sq. mi.)

3. Nauru (8.1mi^2): 10,834 (1,243.2)

4. Tuvalu (10mi^2): 11,900 (1,232.5)

5. San Marino (24mi^2): 33,660 (1,346)

6. Liechtenstein (62mi^2): 39,584 (613.8)

7. Marshall Islands (70mi^2): 42,418 (603)

8. Saint Kitts and Nevis (101mi^2): 47,606 (424.8)

9. Maldives (120mi^2): 590,297 (5,130.4)

10. Malta (122mi^2): 519,562 (4,270.9)

11. Grenada (133mi^2): 124,610 (825.1)

Gaza: 2,375,000 @ 16,853/sq. mi.

Most of those countries with three exceptions have less than one per cent of the population of Gaza (even the biggest exception is at less than 24%). With the exception of Monaco, the population density of these countries is approximately seven per cent of Gaza.

The only countries in the world that are more dense than Gaza are Macau, Monaco and Singapore and no-one with a straight face could credibly claim that they are remotely comparable.

The commentary of "they should be able to make do just fine" is insulting to the extreme.
