The Statistics Presented by Bassi to the Media Make the People of Gush Katif Laugh

Eran Sternberg, spokesman for the Gaza Shore Regional Council, had the following to say following the report that half of all the families of Gush Katif had supposedly applied to the Expulsion Administration:

“We in Gush Katif can only laugh at the numbers that Bassi is bandying about. They are nothing but another media spin-off created by the Expulsion Administration, whose most active department so far has been Public Relations. The absolute majority of the residents of Gush Katif continue to staunchly resist Bassi’s pathetic attempts at psychological warfare”.

In fact Jonathan Bassi did admit that of the hundreds who made contact with his Administration only a few dozen actually signed an agreement.
