I often wondered how many Americans it would take to equal 1 Israeli.





Right. By this logic, when we kill people overseas we should raise the tally based on population.

Afghanistan has 40 million people so that means like a million civilians were killed during the war instead of the 100K estimate

I guess when there is a murder in Rhode Island it's the equivalent of 40 murders in California?

No, just the opposite. Using OP's logic, just take the number of dead Iraqis resulting from the Iraq War and extrapolate it based on US population size, so only like 10k of them died.

Gonna be hard to do that when our country has the biggest boner for Israel and consistently sends billions of dollars to them in foreign aid.

I wish I could find a wife that loves me as much as a tenth of how much the U.S. loves Israel

4 million Jews would be equal to 140,000,000 Americans dying

Doesn’t pay to waste your time explaining.

So if there is a terror attack in China that kills 1000, do we say that is like 250 Americans?

This is the sort of false equivalency that I haven't seen since the MSM took a stab at describing "COVID" deaths in terms of "X of 9/11 terror attacks".

... and they've not even started with chopping off the heads of women and children on camera as the Israeli military reprisals pick up.

If Israel and/or the US have capacity to cut cell phone transmission/internet within and to Gaza, this would be a good time to line it up.

It's not because Covid is a virus and bullets to the head is murder similar to crashing a plane into a building.

Right

But in this case the smaller the number the less relevant it is

If half their country died there might be a point. 1000 while a very high number doesn't really make sense to extrapolate in these terms. Why not just be ridiculous and compare it to China or India while we're at it?
