But Israel claimed that the Hamas attacks were equal to 9/11 or even Pearl Habor in scale measured by the country's population. Biden even claimed that it was equal to fifteen 9/11s. So I think it's totally fair and appropriate to apply the same rules and scale the death toll of the invasion by the population of the Gaza Strip.

America retaliated to 9/11 by killing 200,000 Iraqis So Iraq had population 0.5% of its population killed (for something it had no responsibility for). So Israel needs to kill 0.5% of Gaza.... which is around 4000 people. I guess 15 9/11 mean 15*4000=60,000

Right, so Israel already killed almost 3 times as many Palestinians in retaliation as the US killed in Iraq.

No, that's measuring in 9/11 retaliations.

It's called onboarding and aims to garner public support by ripping open old scars. Just like the decapitated babies claim to dehumanize the enemy.

Okay, but does that invalidate my calculation?

The calculation was invalid to begin with. It's like asking how many apples this orange was.

I do understand you replied to a satirical question with a satirical analysis, but still. I'm not a fun person, so stop having fun.

I'm sorry you don't like having fun. Must be rough.

Yeah, I feel sorry for myself every waking second.
