Any chance we could restrict the discussion to statistical matters? Or take it away from allstat?

"Israel" controls the land and sea borders if Gaza and their warplanes are in the Gaza sky 24/7. Any of those acts is an act of war and no other country in the world would accept and no should expect the Palestinians to live under control and siege (which is real occupation) and accept it. The Palestinians were put on diet (not my own words but an Israeli minister) and yet some people seem to consider it normal! I cannot remember the lasts time the UK government asked the French government for permission to build an airport or to what's arms they should have!

If they are not Israeli citizens and they do not live within the recognised borders of Israel, why should an Israeli firm include them in its surveys? In the Gaza Strip in particular, Israeli soldiers and settlers withdrew several years ago so it cannot be regarded as even under Israeli occupation. The web site said clearly that the results were for Jews. No doubt if you approach them, they will tell you the results for Christians, Bahai and Muslims.

(I believe the overwhelming majority are Palestinian.) My point is that non-Jews seem not to have been surveyed at all, yet the results have been used as representative of Israeli opinion. Depending on whether you use 1948, 1967 or 2010 borders, the proportion of non-Jews can be up to or even over 50% I believe (But as I said before, I may be wrong - that was why I asked the question.)
