Actually it’s roughly half of one 9/11, by the numbers.

By the numbers in Palestine, though, these estimates get a bit closer

They justified these headlines by comparing it as a proportion of population, because we all know that murder is graded based on general statistics instead of real lives. For example, The Vietnam War was America committing over 12,000 9/11's...

Seems kind of low, honestly.

I assume the Cambodian bombing campaign wasn't included?

More like 800 9/11s (from both sides) if its not per capita.

And then Israel did like 6 morbillion 9/11s in response
