What was the point in this attack? Exactly, there was no direct purpose! The only thing that Osama Bin Laden did was kill innocent people for no reason at all and to me that just does not seem right. "America has been hit by Allah at its most vulnerable point, destroying, thank God, its most prestigious buildings,” quoted Osama Bin Laden. Really, was this attack necessary?
The group identified themselves as a part of the Palestinian Organization, Black September. Black September was a Palestinian terrorist group that emerged after the Jordanian Civil War. Black September had carried out other missions, including the assassination of Prime Minister Wasfi al-Tall in Cairo, November 1971, however the incident in Munich was by far the most dramatic. The terrorists informed the authorities of their requests. They wanted 234 Palestinians released from an Israeli jail, and they wanted safe passage to Egypt.
In the article The Gaza Crisis, by Phyllis Bennis, she makes the claim that Israel violated international law when attacking Gaza since Israel knew that scores of the civilian inhabitants within Gaza would be injured or killed. Bennis also makes the argument that the United States was complicit towards the Israeli attacks. The author states that everyone reading this piece of writing ought to get in touch with their congressmen, their local and state governments, start petitions, and to criticize the brute force in which the Israelites have used against Gaza, illegally. The author anticipated this paper appealing to a large audience of citizens sympathetic to the Palestinians. Bennis is making an appeal to the world, and it does sound like
As already mentioned, the issue has no final answer, because of the different versions, as many historians argue. According to the Zionist historians, the Arabs left at their own choice, despite the Zionists’ best intentions. The Arabs chose to leave because they were being ordered to leave and intended rise of panic by their own Arab
The third plane hit the western side of the Pentagon, and the fourth plane was targeted at the U.S. capitol, but it crashed into a nearby field. One reason for the attack was because of the U.S. foreign policy, Osama didn’t like how the U.S. support Israel. He thought that the U.S. foreign policy oppressed and killed Muslims. After the terrorist attack on September 11, many actions were made after this incident, like the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, and the Transportation Security Administration. First, the
Many said that the attacks were about religions or something of that sort, but the attacks were about far more than religion. In Osama’s first television debut he mentioned that the U.S. can avoid another attack like the Sep.11 attack if the U.S. stops threatening the security of the Muslims. The U.S. government insists that the motive for the Sep.11 attack was because of the U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq. The President at the time, which was George Bush called for a “War on Terror” that would continue until all of the terrorists groups had been found, captured, and defeated to prevent attacks like this in the future. In this interview Bin Laden said he order the Sep 11 attack because of injustices against the Lebanese and Palestinians by
Nowadays when one sees a Muslim or someone who looks like a Muslim, that person is automatically deemed as either being dangerous or a terrorist. This fact comes to tell how far the world has come to. The 9/11 attacks changed the people’s perspective upon Muslims and now the stereotype is that all Muslims are bad and that they are all terrorists looking to kill innocent Americans. The next reason as to why the attacks were a success was due to the support that al-Qaeda got from different organizations and countries. They got financial support from countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria.
The effectiveness of direct retaliation which involves the US led war on terrorism. After the 9/11 attacks many Americans had the view that the world changed forever. These attacks on the United States caused so much grief and hatred to those that perpetrated and were involved in the attacks that on October the 7th 2001 US and British troops invaded Iraq to seek and destroy those involved so that an attack on foreign soil of this magnitude does not happen again. The main impact for me this war has caused is that there are more people joining terrorist groups today because they don’t believe in what out governments are doing so they feel like joining the enemy is a good way to get what they want. At the moment with the current situation with
Introduction The militarization of the nation’s police forces may have taken off after September 11, 2001, but in reality started long before that dreadful day. This paper is going to look at the issues which brought on not only the change itself but will also look at misconceptions and misunderstanding of the American public. Local police have been forced to evolve with the changing threat to their communities and learn more advance tactics to protecting their citizens. To begin we will look at what the issue is and why militarization of police has become an issue. The Issue Since September 11th 2001 the United States have been at war with terrorists who have brought the fight to America’s homeland.
al., 2008, p. 791). Through hate propaganda, the messages were delivered about the hatred Americans had for the Jews. Anti-Semitic literature was spread, as well as swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans. Jews were looked down on in America as greedy scapegoats (Lachendro, 2011). From the anti-Semitism being exposed in America, it caused America to react too late to the aid of the victims of the Holocaust.
