Why are we defending Israel against retaliation for their own stupidity?

Israel is more important to the American government that American citizens.

It's why we still support Israel, despite it being one of the main reasons for 9/11.

Wait, what's the Israeli connection to 9/11?

Or did you mean Saudi Arabia?

Osama Bin Laden's letter "To the American People."

As for us, our Iraq was invaded in response to pressure from capitalists with greed for black gold, and you continue to support the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine in response to pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by enormous financial capabilities.

They threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers against us and have formed an alliance with the Israelis to oppress us and occupy our land; that was the reason for our response on the eleventh.

It's crazy how few people know this in 2024. It should be a lesson to you all about how much information is being manipulated on all sides.

Would you say that Bin Laden was a good man?

I don't know enough about him to make that call.
