A central claim by Israel’s advocates is that supporting Israel is in the U.S. interest. There can be no greater farce when our country has bombed another Arab country to support Israel’s genocide.
The media cannot look at the causes of the 9/11 attacks even 20 years later. But Al Qaeda perpetrated the bombings because the U.S. was an occupying military force in Saudi Arabia. A 1998 declaration of war by Osama bin Laden cites two other issues: the “devastation” of Iraq by U.S. sanctions including the alleged deaths of 1 million Iraqis, and the effort by the U.S. to “fragment” Arab nations and leave them as “paper statelets” so as to insure the survival of Israel.
After 9/11 U.S. lawmakers frequently said that bin Laden had underestimated America. That ended up being very true, just not in the way they thought.
