As we all know, the proportional loss of life on 10/7 has been called worse than 9/11 due to Israel losing 1000 civilians out of a population of 10 million. Compared to the US losing 3000 people out of roughly 300 million, this is a tenfold difference in magnitude. Hence, "as bad as 10 9/11s."
The Palestinians, however, have lost 3000 civilians from a population of 2.4 million, which is over a hundred times worse than the real 9/11. So the Palestinian 9/11 is over ten times worse than the Israeli 9/11. Also, they actually have collapsed buildings and smoking rubble.
In summary, the Israelis are currently waging a war on terror in Gaza. The Palestinians are getting ready to invade America, where the Israelis trained for their attack.
Sounds like Sealand wants 20 million inbred Hamas soldiers to fortify their elections!
9/11x10^2 = ?
Only 5% of New Yorkers have an IQ high enough to figure out the answer, DO YOU?
Hint: it rhymes with “the total extermination of the balestinians”
Last year, there were number of people I've seen on twitter that were mourning about the tragedy that happened even comparing it to 9/11. I guessed they were talking about Afghanistan withdrawal failure, nope they were talking about January 6th Insurrections and they were all fellow whites living in America. They just don't care about goyim losses and I would even guess they are probably giddy at the thought of wiping out Palestinians before when Hamas attacked first, only to panic when they dropped the bomb on hospital, they realised how bad their optic is getting worse and now they are changing the narrative several times. It is so absurdly easy to see through them because they are highly emotional in general.
All I know is that 1/6/2021 is worse then all bad events in the history and future history of all mankind, forever.
If we go by raw members like that, sure. But that ISN'T why 9/11 is invoked, only the excuse to use it.
The main reason is because it comes with the quotation that it was a completely unprovoked, unwarranted attack on civilian life living in a strong but peaceful country and demands extreme retribution in retaliation. That last part is the important one Israel is invoking.
I understand that unlike the West, the rest of the world firmly runs on 'fuck around and find out' principle of if you're attacked then to show strength you hit them as hard as possible to show they poked the bear otherwise you're seen as a soft target. The whole 9/11 stuff is just to get the west, mostly Americans, on board with steamrolling Gaza into a new parking lot.
That all falls apart when you consider Israel's supporting of Hamas. If FAFO is the key principle, Israel's government should be self-immolating instead of attacking people it always wanted to attack anyway. It appears Israel fucked around and found out that it can continue to do so since too many stupid people buy into its fake & gay victimhood narrative.
I'm just pointing out HOW 9/11 is being used to in comparison with this attack and I got people trying to say I'm zionist, pro-jew blah blah blah.
Considering the CIA helped the terrorists before 9/11, not the sturdiest ground to evoke that unless it supports disbanding the CIA then I'm all for that. FAFO principle is even if your policies opened up your country to the attack, you unleash overwhelming force against their homeland or their bases in your country at least.
West has not been good at living up to that in the past decade as sure, you got the war on terror, but if Europe was living up to that principle, the amount of attacks it's suffered, the ENTIRE middle east should be nothing but rubble by now..
I'm aware of that parallel. I think it was on T_D that I joked about the glowies having a twisted sense of humor in calling this "Israel's 9/11."
That was not FAFO either. That too was contrived bullshit. You are probably on a terrorist watchlist just by posting here, and you're classifying the subversive, tyrannical WoT policies that put you there as some sort of FAFO badassery. There is no badassery to be found in the US's behavior after 9/11 or Israel's now. Please, I'm begging you. Stop being dumb. Stop being dumb, please, if only for a moment.
I said the 'war in terror' in an eye rolling way, probably should have put /s next to it as hard to put expression into text. You focused on that and not the 'nothing should exist in the Middle East if they lived up to that principle' part.
The last war I can actually think of where the principle was invoked properly to any extent in the west might actually be the Falklands war, the Golf war is too murky to say that especially since they didn't end it in Iraq then and there. Before that, probably the Korean war just for the 'Temper Temper' incident.
This post was just a jab at the death ratio talking point, but yes that is a significant parallel that makes it easy to sell the bombing campaign to boomers.
A dire, totalizing response makes sense logically, but only in a narrow sense. Once Israel kills its way through Gaza and Hamas, they've only kindled the resentment for the next attack. If my relatives were killed in a bombing run, I can't say I'd feel differently.
If Israel reverted to old colonial ways, they might be able to break the demographic back of the Palestinians by forcing them to flee Gaza. Does anyone actually see it going that way though?
