Just for scale and perspective, here's how the size of the Gaza Strip compares with major Australian metro areas.
Sydney: Cronulla to Narrabeen.
Western Sydney: Castle Hill to Campbelltown.
(You can comfortably fit one Gaza in Western Sydney, a second from the southern suburbs to the Northern Beaches, and still have plenty of room to spare.)
Melbourne: Werribee and Tarneit to Epping and Campbellfield.
Canberra: Roughly the same area.
Gold Coast: Roughly the same area.
Brisbane: Brisbane Airport to near Ipswich.
Adelaide: Port Adelaide to Morphett Vale.
Perth: Joondalup to Fremantle.

@aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au Relating the size to the Canberra example shows me even more clearly the viciousness and cruel horror enacted by #Israel. That relatively tiny part of the country as a whole to be denied to poor people trying to live. Barbaric greed.
