According to Wikipedia, the population of the entire Gaza Strip is about 2.3 million. 11k people is about 0.5% of the population. The 9/11 attacks killed about 3,000 people out of a population of approx. 300 million, i.e. 0.001%. If my math is correct, that would this death toll equal to about 500 9/11s.

But you need to think like this: Terrorist attack in 9/11: 3000 deaths Terrorist attack hamas: 1300 deaths

Antiterrorist attack 9/11: ~180.000 deaths Antiterrorist attack Israel: 11.000 deaths

So its still 5% of the deaths of 9/11 dont play down the human rights violations of the US because of 9/11…

Those numbers are useless without a scale of time.

Does it make it better that the US killed hundred of thousands in 20 years, than when killed in 2 years?

Killed civillians are killed civillians, in a matter of 20 years or 2 this is irrelevant.

What? Yes! Othwrwise you are comparing apples to oranges.

The US killed 20-30 times more in Irak and Afgahnistan. And I would say that 20 years of war is another horrifying factor.

If you look at the rate than /month israel killed more.

But even if you look /year the 9/11 war with 20,000-30,000 deaths ist still much more compared to 11,000 this year from israel…

This year. It started in October. Using your numbers, they have done half a years worth of murder in about 12th of the time, even with the USA drone striking weddings. Ones horrific, the other is a genocide.

This all started last month, not in January, we don’t know what the per year murder rate is but we can assume it would be around 132,000 if Israel continues the way they are currently.

Yum, yes duh. A higher rate of death over 20 years is much different then a single month.

So you say 200,000-300,000 deaths in 20 years is better that 11,000 in one month?

Wtf?

I really dont fucking know how americans can justify bullshit like this.

Its 20,000-30,000 dead people a year, I know its not like 11,000 in a month, but I really hope that israel is going to stop soon.

Do math. 200000÷20=10000 a year 833.3 repeating.

300000÷30= 15000 a year or 1250 a month

It is objective better.

Your high of you think 10000 a month is better than 10000 a year.

But Israel claimed that the Hamas attacks were equal to 9/11 or even Pearl Habor in scale measured by the country’s population. Biden even claimed that it was equal to fifteen 9/11s. So I think it’s totally fair and appropriate to apply the same rules and scale the death toll of the invasion by the population of the Gaza Strip.

America retaliated to 9/11 by killing 200,000 Iraqis So Iraq had population 0.5% of its population killed (for something it had no responsibility for). So Israel needs to kill 0.5% of Gaza… which is around 4000 people. I guess 15 9/11 mean 15*4000=60,000

Dont forget the afgahns… Another 160.000

Right, so Israel already killed almost 3 times as many Palestinians in retaliation as the US killed in Iraq.

3 9/11s down, 12 more to go.

No, that’s measuring in 9/11 retaliations.

It’s called onboarding and aims to garner public support by ripping open old scars. Just like the decapitated babies claim to dehumanize the enemy.

Okay, but does that invalidate my calculation?

The calculation was invalid to begin with. It’s like asking how many apples this orange was.

I do understand you replied to a satirical question with a satirical analysis, but still. I’m not a fun person, so stop having fun.

I’m sorry you don’t like having fun. Must be rough.

Like I said before, I have an American public school education, so that’s more math than I can do, so I appreciate it. I also have no emotional intelligence, and the news isn’t telling me to be mad about this, so all I can say is that this is the type of bad emotion that makes your eyes wet.

Don’t forget, if you disapprove of this, you are antisemitic and therefore a Nazi.

Oh don’t worry, I condemn hammas and the great deceiver Carl Marks every morning after the pledge of allegiance, and before I dumpster dive for my breakfast behind the McDonald’s.

How very patriotic of you. Good day sir.
