"We became complacent and underestimated the military capabilities of the inmates of our concentration camp and it's the worst thing since the holocaust" is a hell of a thing to say.

    They're losing the audience here. An average American will not believe that anything is worse than a single 9/11 with the honorable exceptions of Pearl Harbor and Alamo.

    this For Americans who still give a shit about 9/11 they don't like the idea of being one-uped in terms of the victim complex

    What is with the Muricans and the battle for Alamo? it's probably the most overblown battle in the history of humanity.

    They don't view it in the larger historical context of American settlers fucking over an existing nation so that they (the settlers) could own slaves, they only view it as "smol bean resistance fighters against big army"

    I think they desperatly yearn for some really bloody loss to fuel their messianism, but alas they've been mostly winning all the time and even when they loss it's not really huge manpower losses.

    President Xi pretty please.

    Okay, how many 9/11's have the Palestinians (or Gazans specifically) suffered in the last two weeks? Let's play this game Israel.

    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?

    turning a big dial taht says "9/11" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

    Come on we can get the projections on what we are doing to Palestine even higher!

    Israel will be a fucking laughing stock, half the world will boycott them and their citizens. The blowback for this shit will be far worst than what they ever thought the Palestinian resistance to their occupation ever was.

    An Israeli passport will be persona non grata. I wish the UN would just expel them.

    Bullshit. A 9/11 is not a unit of lives lost. It's a word meaning "Any collision between any two objects".

    they always meant per-capita. 0.00001% of the population or whatever

    if you have 100 people in some group and one of them dies that's like 100 9/11s to that group.

    or something. i'm tired and high so maybe don't take those numbers literally.

    It's incredibly funny that 9/11 has become the international SI unit of mass casualties. I want to encourage using the standard prefixes with it also. This attack was 3 deca9/11s.

    Imagine 800K Americans, 400K American children, dead in 10 days. That's what the bombing of Gaza is equivalent to.

    *oops, had an extra zero

    2995 people died on 9/11 Somewhere around 1400 died on October 7th. So it’s barely half of one 9/11.

    Their argument is based on per capita casualties. It's still stupid.

    It's like when I see people compare being called a Boomer the same as the N word.

    Or comparing slavery and segregation to something else they want to justify. I'm like da fuq?...
