But you need to think like this: Terrorist attack in 9/11: 3000 deaths Terrorist attack hamas: 1300 deaths

Antiterrorist attack 9/11: ~180.000 deaths Antiterrorist attack Israel: 11.000 deaths

So its still 5% of the deaths of 9/11 dont play down the human rights violations of the US because of 9/11...

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
