It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Okay, how many 9/11's have the Palestinians (or Gazans specifically) suffered in the last two weeks? Let's play this game Israel.
Did the math:
For Palestine (~5,200 deaths since Oct 7th), it's about 105 9/11s so far. On average that's about 6 9/11s daily.
For the Gaza Strip (~5,100 deaths), it's about 230 9/11s so far. Or 14 new 9/11s every day
Btw I calculated the Israeli 1,400 death toll in proportionate 9/11s and got the same "fifteen 9/11s" figure as Biden. No fucking clue how Netanyahu got 20, maybe he included abducted and missing people in deaths?
if we use the current population of Iraq, ~44 million, and we estimate that the invasion cased 1 million deaths, then that works out to around 23,000 proportionate 9/11s in Iraq
