    I hate to even say this, but leave Palestine aside for a second: both the Democratic and Republican parties were completely happy to sell you out and have a million Americans die to COVID. That’s more than 200x as many deaths as 9/11. If you want the situation to improve at home because you’re too much of a chauvinist to consider what’s happening in Palestine, at least set your aim a little higher than being slaughtered to calm the markets.

      I think 9/11 is just a political tool at this point because it’s certainly not about the death count

      This is exactly what Stalin meant by the “a single death is a tragedy” quote
