Three times denser than the densest city in America
You're trying to "well ackschully" me like like I said it was the densest place...
Like, do you understand what I said or are you intentionally misrepresenting this?
I honestly can't tell
You're so poorly travelled that you simply don't understand how poorly developed the US is when it comes to cities and density.
Metro LA is the 57th largest city in the world, but the 72nd most dense city in the top 80 cities by population in the entire world.
At the end of the day, you were the one that asserted that Gaza was one of the most dense places in the world, and I gave evidence proving it isn't even close to the most dense places in the world. Now you're trying to play off your error like this is about LA being dense or not.
You still don't understand how those are two different things bro?
I'm sorry, I legitimately can't think of a simpler way to explain this.
What two things?
You were trying to say that Hamas could not set up outside of residential buildings by saying the area is too dense with people for that to be possible.
It's not. It's not even close to too dense for that.
Go look at the Satellite maps of Gaza, there's tons of space they could set up if they didn't want to risk civilians. Literally half of gaza is farm fields.
