"The above title may offend many people since it makes the proposition for one to contemplate the events of 9/11 as either a form of just retaliation or a genuine crime committed by criminals."

"The press recently ran stories about Americans reliving the horrors of 9/11 through released emergency-call transcripts that include the last gasps of doomed souls. Am I the only one struck by the extremely odd nature of this story?"

"As a nation we have learned that our security and prosperity here in the United States cannot be achieved as a result of the suffering of other peoples who also long for the rights and opportunities that we enjoy."

"Israeli novelist David Grossman's article, "Guests Can Be Shown the Door," in the New York Times Magazine " looked at the discrimination Palestinians face as a minority in Israel (December 13, 1992, p. 40). In it Grossman also repeated one of the half-truths about the birth of Israel that has sustained Zionists in Israel and in the West since 1948. An examination of some of the circumstances surrounding the Arab invasion of Israel in May 1948 reveals how accounts such as Grossman's continue to distort history."
