And just to note: this is the official death toll, which most experts consider a significant underestimate. The actual number is likely much higher — see, for example, this recent study: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
We're probably talking about 4,000+ 9/11s for Palestinians

Defenders of Israels war crimes often remind us that October 7 was the equivalent of twelve 9/11s, and that therefore, Israel had no other choice.
You never hear them do the math for Palestinians, who have now endured the equivalent of at least 2,500 9/11s.
