That sounds like "technically correct with caveats".

  So does OPs entire post. Gaza is, by all reasonable accounts, among the most densely populated areas in the world. There's no real reason to start questioning the credibility and trustworthiness of a news organization over the fact that Gaza is referred to as such, it's a very bizarre thing to fixate over.

    Your point about my argument regarding BBC's credibility based on this one point is fair, I can see how my argument can reasonably be considered overstated. Your point about "fixating" (assuming you're referring to me) is not fair. If you want to accuse someone of being fixated on this point, please direct your critique at the BBC and other media outlets who repeat the phrase about Gaza and only Gaza (not all of the other more populous places) constantly.

      Perhaps you are overly sensitive to this issue? I've more often heard the phrase from the BBC in regard to Singapore or Hong Kong.

      In this case it makes perfect sense to mention how densely populated Gaza is because the reader probably doesn't know much about Gaza other than it's occupied by Israel. Every other area with the population density of Gaza looks very different on Google Maps.

    See OPs above comment and you can see where his standpoint is so it's not that surprising.
