    This is horrific enough without resorting to hyperbole - I'd be interested in the maths that makes 1400 larger than (3000 x 8)...

    I'm guessing they're basing that claim on the percentage of the total Israeli population that was killed in the attacks?

    They're using it comparatively based on population, it's been used a lot since the attack in order to underscore the impact it has had on the nation.

    I'm not sure I agree with its usage, but then I'm also not having to deal with a world who thinks a pogrom is a kind of hat.

    That's as an effective a counter to ceasefire demands as you get.

    I won't be breaking out the kleenex when Hamad becomes pavement coating, but I've a lovely bottle of Black Cow vodka that'll certainly be getting a pouring.

    It’s understated if anything. Israel has 9.3 million people. The US had 285 million in 2001. Per capita, it’s as if 45,000 people had been killed or kidnapped on 9/11, which is rather more than 8 times larger.

    The left spent the past six years calling anyone that disagrees with them a Nazi. Turns out they were the Nazis the whole time. Every accusation is a confession.

    No, that's just certain people like @Diacanu

    No, there are full blown Nazis that dress like Nazis and fly Nazi flags all over America and they don't vote democrat if you catch my drift

    The only thing here is that extremists on both sides are fucking idiots assholes and we shouldn't be giving them the attention we do

    Because Charlottesville didn't happen, and Trump didn't praise it.
    It was all a hologram created by Anita Sarkeesian and Brie Larson.
    Ditto Jan 6th.

    The kid is right in that people like you take it too far. Your performative nature and tribalism have a habit of getting in the way of any real analytical thought

    Yeah, we wouldn't want the Nazis to cry from me picking on them too hard.

    Hey, remember when that guy killed Heather Heyer with a truck?
    And then Sargon Of Akkad thought it was funny?
    And FF linked to Sargon videos for months after?

    Then I pointed that out.
    So, I'm just as bad.
    Both sides.
    Both. Sides.

    Trump didn't praise Charlottesville and Trump told people to be peaceful during January 6th. That doesn't change the fact that you over use the Nazi label.

    Do you even watch the videos you link? He doesn’t tell anyone to be peaceful. He says he knows they will be.

    Remember guys, splitting off Federal Farmer's latest derailment into it's own thread is technically genocide/ethnic cleansing/toddler punching according to the UN, the BBC, and NAMBLA. :nono:
