Did the math:

For Palestine (~5,200 deaths since Oct 7th), it's about 105 9/11s so far. On average that's about 6 9/11s daily.

For the Gaza Strip (~5,100 deaths), it's about 230 9/11s so far. Or 14 new 9/11s every day

    Btw I calculated the Israeli 1,400 death toll in proportionate 9/11s and got the same "fifteen 9/11s" figure as Biden. No fucking clue how Netanyahu got 20, maybe he included abducted and missing people in deaths?

    if we use the current population of Iraq, ~44 million, and we estimate that the invasion cased 1 million deaths, then that works out to around 23,000 proportionate 9/11s in Iraq
