The Political Roots of the terror attack on New York and Washington

Americans vote for, and accept, Congressmen who give $millions annually in American tax dollars, to Israel to help fund it's 50 year war against, and invasion of, Palestine. They also work to supress reports of Israel's war crimes against Palestine.

Likewise, a great many companies owned by, or sympathetic to, this same Israeli jihad (yes I know it's an arabic word) make significant private contributions to the same cause. Likewise, they also actively support supression of the truth in the American media. (And how many of the businesses and businessmen in the World Trade Center had such ties to Israel? Funny, no one wants to ask that question.)

Palestine is being invaded even as we speak, with Israel having stepped up its assault in response to Palestinians having stepped up their retalliations against the Israeli invasion.

American money pours into Israeli pockets to buy the bullets and missles and mortars that are fired into Palestine.

IS IT ANY WONDER THEN THAT PALESTINE, AND THOSE WHO SYMPATHIZE WITH ITS PLIGHT, WOULD RETALLIATE AGAINST AMERICA?!

The real criminals are the nation of Israel, and those American conspirators (Jewish and otherwise, civilian and politician and businessman alike) who support it.

"Terrorism" is just a deceitful label that ruling powers use to marginalize the low-budget tactics of any David fighting a Goliath. War is war, whether you're flying an expensive Blackhawk helo armed with $1M missles, or a stolen 737 armed with full fuel tanks.

These same terrorists claim to be "god's" chosen people and commit murder in the name of "Allah". They accomplished nothing short of the slaughter of people who have NO IDEA of what political nonsense, hatred, and rhetoric these people spew on a daily basis.

How much damage to the economic and military infastructure have they affected? .000000001% ? In the process killing men, women, and children. I know I don't want to live in a country where women can't vote or drive, or the penalty for being Jewish is death. They are no better than the SS of Nazi Germany in my eyes.

They have made the U.S. Government and most of it's population so angry, that there is a possibility for an all-out war.

Murder is murder.

Did not the Nazi's employ plumbers, file clerks, secretaries, phone operators, and countless other non-combat personal? Did not these people also die as Nazi buildings were bombed? Of course they did.

Yet, do people condemn those deaths as needless? Of course not - these non-combat personal were still a part of the infrastructure, Hitler's support network if you will, of the Nazi party. Even if they chose to remain ignorant or unconcerned with the actions of their employer (the Nazi party), they chose to contribute regardless, incurred responsibility for that contribution, and so suffered.

Double standards abound in America. McVeigh accidentally kills a daycare center full of children (he didnt know it was there), and "baby killer" is splashed all over the headlines. Yet children were killed by fire and massive doses of nerve gas at Waco, compliments of the US federal government, and the killers are exonerated.

Meanwhile daycare centers in Iraqi federal buildings are regularly and knowingly blown to pieces in America's long-running bombing campaign, and the military news conferences only speak of "collateral damage" and how "unfortunate it is that the Iraqis chose to use their children as shields."

Meanwhile, a stream of Serbians and Rroma have fled Kosovo with tails of civilian suffering and death from Herr Clinton's "humanitarian bombing", and no one listens.

Yet you want sympathy for your civilian casualties?

Sir,

Whose side are you on? If you believe the United States has done wrong, use the Ballot box, protest or use the freedoms fought for, bled for, DIED for by soldiers past and present.

Those people don't give a RATS ASS wether you live or die. If you like them so much...why dont you join them.

It was the UNITED STATES who liberated the world from Nazi Germany.

Sir,

The side of innocence, whether they are American or foreign. Unfortunately I find less and less of this on any side these days.

I have done all of these, but it has not stopped Congressional funding for the Israeli terror state. Unfortunately for Palestinians, they cannot even use our ballot boxes, nor the freedoms for which our soldiers have fought, while Palestinians - including women and children - continue to die in Israel's war on them. A war made possible in part by continual American "foreign aid" to purchase those weapons.

> Those people don't give a RATS ASS wether you live or die.

I'm sure they don't - so what? I do not need their love nor their loyalty, to recognize the human rights that they too possess. My loyalty is not to them, but to those rights (you know, the ones America was built on?) The moment you cease to defend the legitimate rights of even your enemy, those rights are reduced to mere priviledges enjoyed by the powerful, and civilization breaks down.

> If you like them so much...why dont you join them.

If I liked them so much, I would join them. But I do not, so I have not. Again, rights are rights. Palestine has the right to retalliate against its Jewish invaders, and even those who conspire with, or aid and abbet, them.

> It was the UNITED STATES who liberated the world from Nazi Germany.

So now the US can do no wrong? Or, what is your point then?

Judaism and Islam have been waging a religious war over Jerusalem for thousands of years. America should not be involved, and those Americans who choose to get involved should do so *individually*, rather than using America's "democracy" to wrench additional funds from those of us who wish not to contribute.

I have never voted for an American congressman, because I do not want to share responsibility for the evil that they all seem to inevitably do when in office. Thus *I* am innocent. Are you?
