>1.5-2x as strong
I agree with everything you're saying but that's pound for pound strength. If you go to the gym and/or work physical labor you can be stronger than a chimp fairly easily. Chimps are quite lithe compared to humans. The big deal is the fact that chimps have a lot of pulling strength vs humans, very primitive fine motor control over what they're doing, and the fact that humans don't fight like chimps and we have no idea what the fuck to do when we're fighting something *vaguely* similar, sort of an "uncanny valley effect" but not. We do well against animals nothing like a human, like dogs, and each other, but primate fights rarely go well. But if a human trained in "chimp martial arts" and had developed muscles, he'd probably he an alpha of a tribe.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
The thing that people forget about though is the finger, hand, and grip strength. That’s where they will always be stronger, and more deadly than a human. Once they get a hold of you, you’re fucked. That’s not even including the fact that they’ll rip your nuts, and face off with their hands if they don’t bite you first.
Edit: if I’m remembering correctly chimps also have way more fast twitch muscle than we have.
Thats going into the fine motor skills thing. Humans have shitty grip strength specifically because we have really good motor skills. But what humans have in a one on one fight with the chimp would be the ability to use more of the body as a weapon than chimps can. I would say that a muay Thai fighter could stand a pretty damned good chance against one. There's also the fact that we have significantly better stamina and can go on fighting for much longer (provided you stay out of reach). You can dodge the chimp enough that it runs out of energy way before you. Idk, I'd say in a 1 on 1 fight with a peak human vs chimp it's 50/50. Maybe 60/40 in favor of the human.

Also we humans have ways of cruelty no animal has. Not only we can use and understand tools, break bones, stab or cut, but we can also go for the eyes and throat as well as any other animal. You‘d smash a bottle on his head and stab him with the shards if you had to.
