I attended American public school, just tell me how many 9/11's that is so I can be appropriately outraged.

According to Wikipedia, the population of the entire Gaza Strip is about 2.3 million. 11k people is about 0.5% of the population. The 9/11 attacks killed about 3,000 people out of a population of approx. 300 million, i.e. 0.001%. If my math is correct, that would this death toll equal to about 500 9/11s.

Like I said before, I have an American public school education, so that's more math than I can do, so I appreciate it. I also have no emotional intelligence, and the news isn't telling me to be mad about this, so all I can say is that this is the type of bad emotion that makes your eyes wet.

Don't forget, if you disapprove of this, you are antisemitic and therefore a Nazi.

Oh don't worry, I condemn hammas and the great deceiver Carl Marks every morning after the pledge of allegiance, and before I dumpster dive for my breakfast behind the McDonald's.
