That's dumb.
It was far worse.
To adjust for population, in order for 9/11 to be compared to October 7th, 36,000 Americans would have had to have been killed, rather than the slightly fewer than 3,000 that were killed.
That's beyond the fact that Al-Qaeda didn't rape anybody on 9/11.
So, just run this through your head for a second.
If a group of Mexicans invaded the Southwest of these United States, and raped and murdered 36,000 men, women, and children -- what do you think our response would be?
By the next day, there probably wouldn't be a Mexico. It would be a smoking crater. What's more, we could probably turn it into a smoking crater with resounding international support.
If anything about the war in the Middle East is truly unprecedented at this point, it's Israel's restraint. The war on the western front, despite the narrative, has the best civilian to combatant casualty ratio in the history of urban warfare. The war on the northeastern front is the most surgical strike that I've ever heard of.
Now Iran directly tried to pummel Israel with missiles, and we're having a discussion about whether or not Israel should target Iran's nuclear weapons in response. Are we fucking high?
If just about any other country we're experiencing what Israel is experiencing now, and had nuclear weapons, we'd expect that country to use the nuclear weapons -- we'd probably support it.
The only difference is that Israel is Jewish. We all have to face the reality that hatred toward Jews isn't a thing of the past. We all have to finally acknowledge that billions of people learned nothing from the Holocaust.
Since 9/11, there's been a phrase, "The soft bigotry of low expectations." How about a new phase, "The hard bigotry of impossible expectations." That's what the Jews are constantly dealing with.
