"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.
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
Shows how little world leaders actually give a fuck about 9/11 or terrorism, it’s just a frivolous and silly football for them to kick around and make jokes with
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.
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.
We keep the original 9/11 under glass in an NYC vault. You can go and look at it if you want, but it's losing two or three people every decade so we're currently trying to figure out a way to express 9/11 in terms of the speed of light and the charge of an electron.
Oh, so that makes the casualties in Gaza even MORE important, right? With a population of 2 million, that makes the Israeli bombing campaign like 150 9/11s
A Jewish kid asks his dad for $10 to go to the movies and his dad says "Ten Dollars? What do you need five dollars for? I can't believe you'd ask me for two dollars! Well, I guess you've been good, so here's the dollar you asked for. Have fun!"
Like that, but in reverse and for 9/11s.
And before anyone thinks that the joke is antisemitic, I heard it told by the rabbi during a Jewish wedding.
