America Should Not Placate Israel-Hating Terrorists
(Tallahassee Democrat) Cal Thomas - In his latest video, bin Laden says that what got him thinking about striking back at the "American-Israeli alliance" on Sept. 11, 2001, was Israel's attack on terrorist sites inside Lebanon in 1982. I was in Lebanon with the Israeli Defense Forces at that time. The Israeli invasion had as its objectives to root out terrorist positions from which rockets were launched against civilians in northern Israel, and to stop a PLO reign of terror in southern Lebanon which, according to Lebanese Christians, consisted of torture, rape, extortion, and the confiscation of public buildings and private homes whose residents were either driven out or murdered.
