"We became complacent and underestimated the military capabilities of the inmates of our concentration camp and it's the worst thing since the holocaust" is a hell of a thing to say.

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.

They're losing the audience here. An average American will not believe that anything is worse than a single 9/11 with the honorable exceptions of Pearl Harbor and Alamo.
For Americans who still give a shit about 9/11 they don't like the idea of being one-uped in terms of the victim complex
What is with the Muricans and the battle for Alamo? it's probably the most overblown battle in the history of humanity.
They don't view it in the larger historical context of American settlers fucking over an existing nation so that they (the settlers) could own slaves, they only view it as "smol bean resistance fighters against big army"
I think they desperatly yearn for some really bloody loss to fuel their messianism, but alas they've been mostly winning all the time and even when they loss it's not really huge manpower losses.
President Xi pretty please.

Depending on how old you are, if you were old enough to remember 9/11, you wouldn't just think that
You'd know it
It’s a good old boy lost cause that racists can reminisce about publicly to dogwhistle their racism

To be fair to those people, 9/11 involved no military casualties while the Israelis are including soldiers deaths in their count.
No you don’t understand! Israel is 15, no 20 times more important per capita than you Americans - things Americans love to hear
The 20+ year brainrot to think that one of the only act of wars on US soil was was the worst act of war ever
Slaps roof of Israel
You can fit so many 
in here!
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?

turning a big dial taht says "9/11" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right
listen you're really twisting my arm here, i can't go any higher than forty-five 9/11s
Its insanely absurd that this is thrown around so easily.
Shows how little world leaders actually give a fuck about 9/11 or terrorism, it’s just a frivolous and silly football for them to kick around and make jokes with

Come on we can get the projections on what we are doing to Palestine even higher!
Israel will be a fucking laughing stock, half the world will boycott them and their citizens. The blowback for this shit will be far worst than what they ever thought the Palestinian resistance to their occupation ever was.
An Israeli passport will be persona non grata. I wish the UN would just expel them.
Bullshit. A 9/11 is not a unit of lives lost. It's a word meaning "Any collision between any two objects".
Any collision between any two objects
That’s just football
And yet when I tried to enter the stadium with an AR15, security stopped me

It wasn't even one nine eleven jfc
they always meant per-capita. 0.00001% of the population or whatever
if you have 100 people in some group and one of them dies that's like 100 9/11s to that group.
or something. i'm tired and high so maybe don't take those numbers literally.
My grandma died, so i basically suffered 450,000 grandparent 9/11s
who are you starting a nine million year war with?
I've declared that cancer, dementia, heart disease, and stroke are the new axis of evil!
She actually died in a car crash but since our family owns a series of car dealerships I didn't want to get into all that.

Come on Hamas. Do better.
It's incredibly funny that 9/11 has become the international SI unit of mass casualties. I want to encourage using the standard prefixes with it also. This attack was 3 deca9/11s.

Imagine 800K Americans, 400K American children, dead in 10 days. That's what the bombing of Gaza is equivalent to.
*oops, had an extra zero
this is why we need 1 billion Americans
the 9/11s just got ten feet taller!
Let's make it 100!
uhh you're going to need a fuckload of people moving to israel to have 100! 9/11s there
hohohohoho factorial joke
2995 people died on 9/11 Somewhere around 1400 died on October 7th. So it’s barely half of one 9/11.
Their argument is based on per capita casualties. It's still stupid.
Oh, so that makes the casualties in Gaza even MORE important, right? With a population of 2 million, that makes the Israeli bombing campaign like 150 9/11s

No a gazzillion
this would be 50 9/11's in 1990
Wow, have they been watching Team America recently or something?
It's like when I see people compare being called a Boomer the same as the N word.
Or comparing slavery and segregation to something else they want to justify. I'm like da fuq?...
I mean sure. For israel it was like 30 9/11s (from the perspective of Bin Laden)
We are going to run out of airplanes before the end of the year
How many 9/11 are caused by the lack of healthcare in the US every year?
