Where are all those people wailing about Hamas being monsters for killing babies? This should make them even angrier and louder.

Now don't be silly, you're implying there is logic and reason to their arguments instead of just emotion.

1.67 "9/11"s worth of death, in retaliation for 0.47 "9/11"s worth of dead on Oct 7th.
Or, with 9/11= 2977 and the Iraq war killing 187,000 civilians, we get a ~63:1 misplaced retaliation vs. initial attack ratio. So the one could extrapolate from the 1400 dead on Oct 7th that 88,200 innocent people in Gaza will need to be killed to quench the IDF's rage.
Why not count the Afghans too? People keep forgetting that happened for some reason... Which is weird considering they were the first ones to be attacked in retaliation and Iraq wasn't an answer to 9/11...
People absolutely saw Iraq as retaliation for 9/11 too. The bush admin repeatedly lied about Iraq having ties to Al Qaeda.
Those pesky weapons of mass destruction hidden all over Iraq just had to be destroyed! Evidence? What evidence? We don't need evidence!!

Nothing will ever quench their rage. It's all they have.
Equally importantly, they never cared about the lives of people in Gaza. We see this all the time in war... If killing 63 number of enemies will save even 1 of our own lives, we'll do it. Doesn't matter if it's 63, or 6,300, or 630,000, because the enemies' lives aren't worth anything to them.
Israel has been governed by far right ultra-nationalist racists for decades now and Arabs are üntermensch in their eyes, especially Palestinians, hency why they have an Arab Israeli Citizenship separate from the Jewish Israeli Citizenship and with fewer rights and why they have very openly called them "human animals".

You missed something in your math there. IDF is considering the October 7th attack as "10 time worse than 9/11" so up those numbers close to 900,000. Maybe make it 911,911 for the fun propaganda value. With more than half of the 2.2 million Gaza population (although maybe we should start counting the West Bank killings as it is ramping up, too) being children and seeing how Israeli government doesn't discriminate , maybe they can quench their bloodthrist with young blood alone, even.
America has a population that is 35 larger than Israel. If America had lost the same percentage of their population as Israel did on Oct 7th, it would be ~49,420 dead, or the equivalence of 16 "9/11"s. That is why Biden said 10 times worse than 9/11.
Iraq currently has a population of 43.5 million. 187k is 0.42% of it's population. If we do it by percent of population, Gaza has 2 million people, so the retaliation would kill "only" 8,600.
Oh, so good news, the blood fugue is close to an end. I was worried this would get worse. /s

Yeah killing innocent children isn't the solution to anything. Shameful shit that the Whitehouse supports this horror
The EU just confirmed that they are fine with this as well. Apparently they see no problem as long as Israel says they are trying to hit terrorists. Un-f*cking-believable!

If you live in USA or EU your government is ok with this
Since I live in the USA, actually we fund it to the tune of several billion a year and then some.

The previous mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, ended their status as sister city with Tel Aviv over the systematic crimes from the state of Israel against Palestinians. The immediate reaction of the Israeli embassy was denouncing her as antisemitic, both in the media and in courts, which recently found her innocent.
The position that denouncing Israeli crimes is antisemitic has been the official position of Israel for decades, and that's a very dangerous game for the well-being of Jews in a world where actual nazis are slowly gaining power, because once you're run the term down through the ground, calling actual hate crimes against Jews "antisemitic" will no longer have any meaning.

That’s antisemitism /s
oh my fucking god
Does the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say "everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist".

This gut wrenching. Fuck those in power responsible for this.
Humans once again going batshit crazy with mass murder riding on a wave of vengeance. It's a disease with no cure.
