Lebanon has a population of some 2.6 million according to the United States Department of State:
"Conducting a census during the 1970s and 1980s was clearly impossible because of the war. The United States Department of State 1983 estimate for the population of Lebanon was 2.6 million. The figures included Lebanese nationals living abroad and excluded Palestinian refugees, of whom there were nearly 400,000. A 1986 estimate by the United States Central Intelligence Agency of the confessional distribution of the population showed 27 percent Sunnis, 41 percent Shias, 7 percent Druzes, 16 percent Maronites, 5 percent Greek Orthodox, and 3 percent Greek Catholics. However, these data were, at best, informed estimates subject to revision. "
The American population is approximately 120 times that of Lebanon. Now let us calculate the suffering of Lebanon in proportional American terms. If America suffered the same terror from Israel, the numbers would be:
TRANSLATING LEBANON'S SUFFERING INTO PROPORTIONAL US SUFFERING HAD THE ATTACK BEEN CARRED OUT AGAINST AMERICA
1. 72,000 civilian deaths, a third children (24,000 children murdered by Israeli bombing)--this number will probably double once rescue workers are able to rech 13 inaccessible village where bodies are buried underneath destroyed buildings. So the total number of proportional American deaths would be 144,000 (overwhelmingly civilians) with some 48,000 children murdered by Israeli bombs
2. The 1600 Lebanese civilians would translate into some 180,000 injured American civlians.
3. The 750,000 Lebanese refugees would translate into almost 100 million American refugees.
4. The 65 killed and wounded (mostly women and children, many handicapped) in Qana when an Israeli airstrike leveled a four-story residential building used as a shelter by refugees WOULD become 7000 Americans women and children murdered in one Israeli raid (compare that to America's suffering during 9/11)
You can complete the rest of the comparison figures. The slaughter and suffering that the Zionist/Jewish regime is inflicting upon the Lebanese population of Moslems and Christians is difficult to imagine. |
