19. No one is starving or eating grassn in GAZA
Contrary to the conditions elsewhere in the world where this really is happening.

In the "ghetto of Gaza", chubby children ride on camels and ferris wheels, and the aid comes pouring in, from all over the world.

So many people of the world would love to live in Gaza's "ghetto", which looks like paradise compared to Darfur or Rwanda or Chad or many other places where they really are starving (and no one seems to care, because it really is all about villainizing Jews).
