What Motivated the 9/11 Hijackers? See Testimony Most Didn't

Most of our business is now overseas for cheaper labor. We cannot think about our own country anymore, we have to think of our global interests as a whole. If we still had the world's strongest manufacturing base then our economy would not be based on 2/3 consumer spending from big corporations whose manufacturing bases are in other countries i.e. Mexico, China, etc. Now there is talk of selling railroad lines to a London based company. Anybody else confused as to the Sovereignty of the U.S.?

I agree. Their disregard for human life and the killing of innocents disgusts me also. But I believe they do not do it for no reason. I disagree with most of the things that both sides have done and continue to do. Beliefs and Ideals are a very powerful force when it comes to hatred and violence. I dont believe though that my country should be responsible for helping Israeli interests in the middle east.
Trade with all Nations
Alliances with none

Stick to the topic at hand. I said that the Mercaz HaRav massacre and the Palestinian opinion poll disgust me. You did not tell me anything I did not already now. I know that the Palestinian side is not well represented in American news. However, this massacre was not well reported by the media either.

'The Arab-Israeli conflict is just an excuse.'
Thank you for that lovely comment, wise guy who pretends to be awake.

Can you also quote any Israeli massacres of palestinian people??? There are many, but they are not reported by the corporate media. Most people forget the fact that we have a censored media that is controlled by corporations. Most Jewish people agree with their rightful domination of the holy land, could you call that disgusting? So its all a matter of who you believe had the land first, and if you think that Jewish people have not participated in random violence then you are mistaken....

I dont disagree with you wideawake123. There are different views of the problems that we have out there. My only point of commenting is that I see many people deny palestinians right to exist in a land that they owned before Israel was ever created. If someone came into my country and made me live in certain parts, denied me access to most modern technology and routinely demolished my people's homes then I would be sympathetic to anyone that had the courage to stand up to them.

The Mercaz HaRav massacre: On March 6, 2008, a Palestinian gunman, Alaa Abu Dheim, infiltrated the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva in Jerusalem and shot to death eight students. The youngest two students were 15 years old.
In an opinion poll two weeks later, 84% of the Palestinians polled praised the attack. Disgusting.

a population. Control of the people through religion was very popular back then. People died for it, Muslims and Christians fought a war for a land they claim holy land. Religion has always been a form of control. Those Caliphates you speak of were doing the same thing Europe and other places have done. During the rise of the Roman Catholic Church for example.

Do you forget the exodus of the Jewish people into Palestine from Egypt? The only thing I am saying is you cannot blame Palestinians for hating Israel and anyone who supports them. If you cant see all the facts out there then you are blindfolded. I never said Americans or any other nation started a war in 7th century. Your view on Islam would be undoubtely discredited by religious researchers. Most religions are based on peace but are radicalized by groups of people that use religion to control

'Terrorist'...must be somewhat the #1 cheapest word right now.

Being with the Taliban was better than now..? God this world is screwed up..

Where do you get your information? This is nothing new, Islam has been at this for 14 centuries. The only variable is the degree of intensity based on military power. Islam isn't based on "peace", the word means "Submission". Submission isn't "peace" it's subjugation, and that's what Islamic Caliphates did for centuries in Europe and Africa before and after the crusades. This war started in the 7th century in Arabia. We weren't around then were we.

It makes sense to me: As the Palestinians called for "Intifada" they brought it on themselves. What else increased in 2000, and continues to increase to this day? The frequency, effectiveness, and number of Rocket attacks aimed at civilians in Israel. If you bombed My buses, and sent suicide bombers into My streets. If you Machine-gunned My college campuses after I gave up 90% of what you demanded in Oslo, I'D BULLDOZE YOUR HOUSES TOO!

The Arab-Israeli conflict is just an excuse. This isn't something new, Islam has been at war with Jews, Christians, Christianity, and the West for 14 centuries. The only variable is the degree of intensity. Now, with backing from oil-rich shiekhs, nearly unlimited resources, the threat Islamic Terrorism poses is transnational. What was the Ottoman's excuse? What was the Fatimad's excuse? Who here thinks Islamic Terrorists only want Israel? Tell it to the Thais, Philippinos and the Balinese.

that was already owned by the palestinians. These people have waged war for this land for centuries. I was commenting on you telling someone what kind of citizen they are. What is this Merkaz HaRav massacre?

Provided evidence? It is not my job to make you think what I believe. It is on BBC. Do you think Israel is gonna come out and openly say they dont care about palestinian people?
Israel now has a very powerful ally in the middle east to do its dirty work. Israel is hated over there because of their blatant disregard for the common palestinians life. Most palestinians have spent some of their life in a refugee camp, their homes belong to Israel thanks to the U.N. creation of Israel on land...

You still have not provided evidence (major news channels) that Israel ever called for the deaths of Palestinian civilians. And you still have not defended yourself against the Merkaz HaRav massacre that I cited.

"They will not get reelected" you are very wrong my friend. Our representatives have nothing to say. You ever heard of the Council on Foreign Relations? They are the real makers of U.S foreign policy. That is why our foreign policy is dangerous to everyday Americans. When you are out of country, keep your eyes open. You are more likely to get kidnapped and beheaded than ever before.

According to major news channels, Jewish demolition of palestinian homes on Israeli controlled territory has increased since 2000. A lot of the violence that goes on there is classified as a terror war. You cannot deny that Israel has benefited greatly from 9/11. They are able to mess with many palestinians and classify them as "terrorists". They have demolished many palestinian villages since the 9/11 attacks. We are taking sides in a territory war that spans thousands of years.

So supporting the war and the official version of 9/11 makes you a good citizen? I feel that makes you a puppet of these big corporations. On BBC they are reporting of all the war profiteering going on in Iraq. Halliburton, formerly chaired by vice president Dick Cheney is responsible for stealing millions. Also most other major defense contractors have stolen millions. Parts of the Iraqi government also take money from the taxpayers that are supposed to go to reconstruction

Exactly. If we minded our own business and set an example like Americans are supposed to do according to the constitution then we would not be in this mess. We are becoming more isolated as we continue to promote the Iraq and Afgan wars. Did anybody know food prices are going up in Afghanistan? They say they are worse off now not being able to get food than they were with the taliban. 300 million people are going hungry. Bad business on our part.

Exactly. If people don't want violence, then they shouldn't give violence;

Ever heard of Blowback? If you went into your neighbors house and destroyed it, would you think he would want revenge?

Helping Israel in the murder of palestinians, overthrowing a democratically elected government in Iran in 1953, Military bases in Saudi Arabia, etc. I can totally agree that our foreign policy is why we got attacked. Islam did not get radical until we went over there. Islamic religion is based on peace, not violence.

And no, I'm not trying to promote death in case you were thinking this.
