Balance--my potato

"During the week, audiences were given statistics about the number of Palestinian deaths against those of Israelis, with the number of the former skyrocketing over the latter. As of a 2007 report by the United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, there have been more than 4,000 Palestinian deaths and more than 1,000 Israeli deaths as a result of the conflict since September 2000. Those numbers, however, do not include the bout of violence which killed more than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers between December and mid-January, according to a field report by OCHA. However, these numbers are often overlooked by a pro-Israel media, said Alison Weir, the speaker for last Thursday's event, "The Palestinian Massacre Will Not Be Televised." She is the founder of If Americans Knew, an institute that raises awareness about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." (thanks Maryam)
