As Of December 8, 2023, Gazans Have Experienced The Population-Adjusted Catastrophe of 1000 Twin Tower Topplings In A Single Day, Or Nearly One Such Catastrophe Per Day Spread Out Over A Period Of Nearly 2 Years And 8 Months. Furthermore, Netanyahu's Relentless Carnage Shows No Sign Of Letting Up

 

The Christian "Just War" Tradition: What Are The Prerequisite Conditions Of A Just War... And How Do Just Wars Come To An End? (With Particular Reference To The Iraq War, and the Gaza War of 2023)


Adjusting for population so that the population of two million Gazans is proportionately equal to 335,000,000 Americans, we find that 17,177 dead Gazans (as of December 8, 2023) is the equivalent of 2,486,179 dead Americans. (No typo.) 

2,486,179 dead Gazans -- 0.74% (or just under 1% of the entire population of Gaza) -- is equivalent to the population-adjusted slaughter of every man, woman and child living in Chicago, Illinois. (The current population of Chicago is 2,670,000, making it the third largest city in the United States.)

For additional perspective, consider that 2251 native-born Americans died when The Twin Towers collapsed on September 11, 2001. This is to say that 1000 times as many Gazans have died in Hamas-Israeli hostilities (as of November 8, 2023) as the total number of native-born Americans who died in the Twin Towers. https://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/world-trade-center-victims/

It begs remembrance that the death toll on 9/11 was enough carnage to unleash The National Lunacy, an encompassing madness from which the United States has yet to recover. 

I encourage you to contemplate what it would be like for The Twin Towers to topple on American soil, day after day -- each and every day -- for 2 years and 8 months. 

It bears repetition. 

The population-adjusted death toll of Gazans (in comparison with the number of native-born Americans killed on 9/11) is the equivalent of The Twin Towers collapsing every single day for 2 years and 8 months.

Against this backdrop, please keep in mind that Netanyahu’s government shows no sign of relenting. He fully intends to continue the carnage.

Also remember that Netanyahu (like fellow felon, Donald Trump) is fully aware that the only way for him stay out of prison is to keep the Gaza War going so that the nation will rally around its leader (as nation's do in wartime) thus remaining Prime Minister as long as the war continues.
