Motives for the September 11, 2001 Attacks



Exposing the fact that politicians and pundits are lying about "why they hate us."

"They concentrate on how much injustice America has caused in the world and how to get rid of this unfairness. They mention Palestine, they call on you to uphold your national dignity, to defend people, and suggest for that you must sacrifice yourself."

What motivated the 9/11 hijackers to attack the US?

US foreign policy bias for Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and US government support for other oppressive regimes in the Middle East.

The 9-11 Commission held its twelfth and final public hearing June 16-17, 2004, in Washington, DC. On June 16 the Commission heard from several of the federal government's top law enforcement and intelligence experts on al Qaeda and the 9-11 plot. It was at this hearing that the question "What motivated them to do it?" was finally asked. Lee Hamilton, vice chair of the 9/11 Commission said, "I'm interested in the question of motivation of these hijackers, and my question is really directed to the agents. ... what have you found out about why these men did what they did? What motivated them to do it?" The agents looked at each other, apparently not eager to be the one to have to say it. FBI Special Agent Fitzgerald stepped up to the plate and laid out the facts, "I believe they feel a sense of outrage against the United States. They identify with the Palestinian problem, they identify with people who oppose repressive regimes and I believe they tend to focus their anger on the United States." But this testimony was kept out of the 9/11 Commission Report and no recommendation was given to address the main motive for the 9/11 attacks.

After the report was issued, the ten commissioners formed the "9-11 Public Discourse Project." At the August 2, 2005 session on foreign policy, Lee Hamilton quickly tries to silence someone who asks why US support for Israel isn't being addressed. The questioner started to ask, "Mr. Hamilton? I had a quick question for you sir. I had spoken with you on C-SPAN about a month ago ..." Immediately Hamilton interrupts him, "I think we'd uh ..." The questioner persisted, "why aren't we addressing the gorilla in the room? The gorilla in the room is US support for Israel." He corrects Hamilton's claim that the Israeli-Palestinian dispute wasn't addressed in the 9/11 Commission Report by referring to page 147 of the report which says, "By his own account, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experiences there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."

The questioner keeps getting interrupted by Hamilton as he pleads, "Why aren't we addressing that sir?" Hamilton didn't answer and dismisses the questioner, "Alright sir. Alright, this is a conversation you and I ought to have. Let's not take up the time of our resource people. May we go to the next question please?"

"This was sensitive ground," Hamilton and Kean say in their new book, "Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission," and some commissioners worried "listed U.S. support of Israel as a root cause of al Qaeda's opposition to the United States indicated that the United States should reassess that policy." There is a reason politicians don't want US support of Israel listed as a root cause of al Qaeda's terrorism. There is a reason politicians don't want the American people to "reassess that policy." If the public were to take a good look at the facts, if they researched what the policies actually do to people in the Middle East, they would be horrified. Politicians lie to us about "hatred of our freedoms" because they care more about serving special interests than about keeping us safe.The Commissioners were more interested in playing politics than in fulfilling the 9/11 Commission's mandate to "to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks." These politicians betrayed the American people. Dishonesty about the 9/11 motives robs us of the freedom to decide for ourselves if we want to put our lives at risk over specific foreign policies.

If Muslims were honest with themselves, they would support the Jews as fellow believers in the God of Abraham.
In the Old Testament/Torah, God warns, "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you." Muslims are endangering their eternal souls by attacking Israel. Their actions fly in the face of the very God they claim to love so much that they are willing to kill thousands if innocents in terror attacks.
I wonder what HE will tell them when they stand before Him to be Judged.

KSM, Bin Laden & their ilk are delusional 7 self deceptive liars, and YOU RP, are an obfuscating enabler. Muslims claim to hold the Torah up as Holy Scripture, yet it clearly defines the land given to the Jews by God - From the Nile to the Euphrates - and they currently live on a fraction of that.
When it comes to the Word of God, you can't pick & chose. If you believe it (or say you do) then you are bound by it. To do otherwise makes you a hypocrite.

AlQaeda had nothing to do with 9/11 and neither did Bin Laden nor Saddam Hussein. The Israeli government is a threat to the world and will probably start world war 3. We must get rid of all the Zionists out of Washington starting with Senator Joseph Lieberman who wants to start a war with Iran.

WHY THEY HATE US 1998 fatwa

This statement begins by quoting the Koran as saying, "slay the pagans wherever ye find them" and concludes that it is the "duty of every Muslim" to "kill Americans anywhere."] Bin Laden elaborated on this theme in his "Letter to America" of Oct 2002: " You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution .

Arab world: No one is above the law in Israel
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH


A Saudi national named Abdel Karim urged his Arab brethren to stop criticizing Israel and learn something about its democracy. "Before we curse Israel, we must learn from the democratic and judicial system in Israel, where no one is above the law," he wrote.

Arab world HATES us?

Arab world: No one is above the law in Israel
by TOAMEH

Egyptian writer Abdel Mahmoud said he doesn't believe an Arab leader will be put on trial for sexual harassment or corruption.
"I don't think we will live to see the day when the police interrogate an Arab leader for sexually harassing his secretary or receiving bribes." "Nor will our children and grandchildren live to see that day. What happened in Israel can never happen in Arab Countries"

Israel is one of the most open societies in the world. Out of a population of 6.7 million, about 1.3 million — 20 percent of the population — are non-Jews (approximately 1.1 million Muslims, 130,000 Christians and 100,000 Druze).1

Arabs in Israel have equal voting rights; in fact, it is one of the few places in the Middle East where Arab women may vote. Arabs currently hold 8 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.

I read all this back and forth about whether or not Israel is evil, has a right to exist, etc, etc, etc. None of that is the point. The question is, should the US be involved in this fight? And from an objective standpoint, there is not much reason for us to pick sides. The zionist lobby realizes this, and controls the media, so they are going to hide the reason for the attack, to keep us from going neutral.

theyre mad because Israel treats an enemy state medically?

0.
Since the Hamas takeover of Gaza (mid-June 2007), a total of 13,144 patients have crossed from Gaza into Israel for treatment.
