The US killed 20-30 times more in Irak and Afgahnistan. And I would say that 20 years of war is another horrifying factor.

If you look at the rate than /month israel killed more.

But even if you look /year the 9/11 war with 20,000-30,000 deaths ist still much more compared to 11,000 this year from israel...

This year. It started in October. Using your numbers, they have done half a years worth of murder in about 12th of the time, even with the USA drone striking weddings. Ones horrific, the other is a genocide.

This all started last month, not in January, we don't know what the per year murder rate is but we can assume it would be around 132,000 if Israel continues the way they are currently.
