In the NY Times today Ethan Bronner writes a “News Analysis” where he succeeds in saying at the same time, “A not B but anyhow B.” Here’s a quote from his analysis:

"The Israeli position defies a brutal truth: last year’s flotilla made a big difference for the people of Gaza — at a terrible cost in lives — by refocusing international attention on their plight and forcing a change in Israeli policy. Today, twice as many goods enter from Israel as before. Nonetheless, Gaza remains a deeply sad and deprived place." (Emph. added, M.N.)

Anybody who has studied elementary math knows that twice zero is still zero. The amount allowed to enter Gaza before Flotilla 1 was deliberately designed by Israel to be at a minimum subsistence level, which has been slightly loosened, Bronner’s last sentence is terribly true, “Gaza remains a deeply sad and deprived place.”

 The truth will out!
