Even more trouble with statistics
This headline - "Mid East: One Million Demand Two-state Solution" seems pretty clear, doesn't it? (Source, registration required)
However, it only takes until the first paragraph of the release to discover that the One Voice Movement is being remarkably mendacious: "Frustrated with ongoing instability in the region, the recent crisis in Gaza and lack of progress, the OneVoice Movement today announced that nearly 500,000 Palestinian and Israeli citizens have united to demand immediate, ongoing, uninterrupted negotiations until a comprehensive two-state agreement is achieved. OneVoice has committed to recruit one million signatories to join the movement by October".
In the Amen Corner is the delightful Saeb 'the number will not be less than 500 [in the Jenin 'massacre'] Erekat. Fatah reckoned 56, and "Amnesty and Human Rights Watch say there was no evidence of a massacre".
There are already two states - Israel and Jordan.....
