hen President George W. Bush sent U.S. troops into Afghanistan to attack Taliban and Al Qaeda forces following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S. homeland, nations around the world lined up in support of America – as they should have.
When Israel is attacked by Palestinian terrorists from Hamas and other groups, many nations and the United Nations line up solidly against the Jewish state for daring to defend itself. No matter how much care Israel takes to prevent civilian casualties when it retaliates against terrorist attacks, it receives automatic condemnations and complaints that it has used “disproportionate” force.
As sure as the sun will set tonight and rise in the morning, you can bet that a majority of U.N. General Assembly members will heartily endorse any anti-Israel resolution that comes to a vote. Only America’s Security Council veto – along with the support of a few other Security Council members at times – has protected Israel from some of the worst of the U.N. resolutions.
Thankfully, terrorists have never succeeded in staging coordinated attacks in Israel as horrific as the Sept. 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and injured more than 6,000 others in New York City, at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania. But the only reason this hasn’t happened is because Israel has thwarted countless attacks and taken necessary defensive measures.
Terrorists dream of staging their own 9/11 on Israeli soil. Even without a mega-terrorist event, one study estimates that 3,705 Israelis have been killed and 14,736 injured by Palestinian terrorists since the founding of the small Jewish state. Nothing would make terrorists happier than to celebrate the deaths of thousands of innocent Jewish civilians in a future attack.

Dunno. I think Pali Arabs are their own worst enemy. They don’t need much help from their ‘leaders.’
Not exactly as I remember it. I remember Palestinians celebrating and dancing in the street on 9/11.
