Joy Reid made this absurd comment during her August 4, 2014 MSNBC show: "So far the war in Gaza has left more than 1,800 Palestinians dead the population equivalent to 100 9/11s." Others e.g., Politico, have already debunked her use of population equivalent. Her comment is absurd for another reason: it insinuates that IDF operations in Gaza, launched for the purpose of ending Hamas rocket attacks, amount to terrorism on a grand scale. In effect, Reid is accusing Israel of being a terrorist state.
We should agree that 9/11 was a terrorist attack against the United States. Those who disagree variously refuse to draw the right conclusion from known facts (e.g., Muslim apologists) or are in serious need of psychiatric treatment (e.g., conspiracy nuts).
What are we to make of people like Reid, who realize the meaning of 9/11 and compare other events to it? The point they most likely are after is that these other events should also be considered terrorism i.e., morally evil. After all, if someone is after a comparison with a horrific event and wants to stay morally neutral, why not pick the 2004 tsunami, which killed some 280,000 people?

Note to Palestinians: No one is buying your bulls**t anymore!
And Jews think blacks are their friends because they both are on the Democrat Plantation.
They should ship this witch off to ISIS. See what she thinks of Islam then.
Hi...Im Joy Reid and you're not.
Minitrue relies on the old NAZI theory of: If you tell a lie often enough, loudly enough and with enough conviction it becomes truth.
Why don’t you go there Joy? I bet you’d change your tune after they gang-raped you for being a western **ore.
these tweedling unctuous bumpkins sit safely ensconced in a secure location in a civiilized nation mouthing inanities....as if they matter....
would anyone really MISS MSNBC if it were to suddenly evaporate ??
IIRC, that was a car bomb at a Syrian jihadi’s funeral (which in no way diminishes the hilarity).
