9/11 was punishment meted out to the U.S. by G-d for defaming the most righteous and pious Jew of this generation---Rabbi Meir Kahane---and for the terrible injustice of acquitting his Yishmaelite murderer. 9/11 was self-inflicted, in the sense that if the FBI bothered to translate all the documents in Arabic seized at Al Said Nosair's New Jersey apartment, they would have prevented not only 9/11/2001 but also the 1993 bombing of the WTC. They didn't bother investigating Rabbi Kahane's murder because they regarded him as a "Zionist", "fascist", "zealot" and a trouble-maker. We all paid for this arrogance.
As long as Rabbi Kahane's honor and righteous legacy continue to be trampled by the American media and politicians, and as long as the former JDL is considered by the Department of State to have been a terrorist organization, one tragic disaster will befall the U.S. after another.
Wow that is one big bullshiite argument. Blame the USA. You suddenly sound like a muslim, leftist and liberal. I never thought you guys would even say such a thing. Imagine if someone said that about suicide bombers in Israel, that it was G-d punishing Jews. I have lost respect for any and all who preach such a ridiculous conspiracy theory. Being pissed off at Kahane's murder and the non-investigation is no reason to turn on this country and say such crap. Please let me know how many of you believe the crap above.
Of course when suicide bombers kill Israelis, it is G-d punishing Jews! The whole purpose of the existence of the Yishmaelites in this world is to serve as a punishment mechanism for Jews who stray from G-d's path. Please study the Scriptures, before you accuse me of being a leftist or liberal---
you come across as a typical Bushbot, when you dismiss any suggestion for a collective, national introspection as treason. I'm sorry if you're an atheist and that involving G-d in this, or in anything else for that matter, seems to you like a conspiracy theory, but though every human being is endowed with free will to choose between Good and Evil, G-d
does govern this world. Since 1967, American leaders have been applying pressure for decades on Israeli leaders to make suicidal concessions to murderous muzzie beasts, unfortunately with great success. Of course, blame lies primarily on the spineless, faithless Israeli leaders, who regard the occupant of the White House as their god, but do you think that G-d ignores American involvement and lets it go unpunished?! Do you think that the gradual progression of disasters befalling the U.S., from the killing of 241 GIs in the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, to thousands of civilians perishing in 9/11 and subsequently thousands of GIs perishing in the streets of Iraq is a mere coincidence?!
I would have much more respect for the American leadership if they deported all American Jewry to Israel and stopped giving aid to Israel, as opposed to the current situation where Israel is treated as a subservient vassal state, a basket case, a pawn in the game of chess that the short-sighted, Jewish and non-Jewish CFR neocons play in the Middle East. The Scriptures and history are rife with examples of collective punishment (which you may not necessarily view as punishment but simply consequences of bad policies). Whether you view collective punishment as just or unjust is irrelevant. 9/11 happened
only because G-d decided that it must happen. As for the reasons for His decision---that's open for debate. Maybe the reasons I proposed are invalid, and not the primary cause. But your general attitude of shifting responsibility from yourself (or the U.S.) to the muzzies---is wrong, at least in my opinion. The muzzies are irrelevant, they are garbage, they are nothing. They are empowered by G-d because, in my opinion, he uses them as tools to teach us an important lesson. You seem to completely miss this. If it weren't muzzies, it would be something else. Jihadist terrorism is not the problem, it is merely a symptom. The problem is much deeper.
I, as a Jew, see G-d's hand in everything. And if something bad happens to me, first I blame myself, and engage in introspection to determine why I was punished, and that is the attitude that is encouraged by the Scriptures and the Oral Tradition and various writings of our sages. As a secular gentile, you might operate under a different set of guidelines, finding blame elsewhere. Today it is the evil muzzies. Tomorrow it will be the evil, commie Chinese and immoral Russians. Instead of invading Iraq while buying Arab oil, shouldn't we just stop buying Arab oil? Instead of condemning Chinese human rights abuses while importing Chinese products (and sinking deeper into impossible debts), shouldn't we stop buying Chinese goods and begin to re-invigorate our domestic economy and industrial base?
History has a broad scope, and it didn't begin on 9/11. The same patterns repeat over and over again, because people don't learn.
