'Israel Lobby' Caused War in Iraq, September 11 Attacks, Professor Says

By IRA STOLL - Staff Reporter of the Sun
September 29, 2006A


A tenured professor at the University of Chicago last night blamed the "Israel Lobby" in America for both the Iraq war and the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Speaking to a crowd of hundreds at the Cooper Union, he was met mostly with support from two other professors, Tony Judt of New York University and Rashid Khalidi of Columbia.

"The Israel lobby was one of the principal driving forces behind the Iraq War, and in its absence we probably would not have had a war," said the University of Chicago professor, John Mearsheimer, at a forum organized by the London Review of Books.

Later, in response to a question from the audience, Mr. Mearsheimer claimed that the "animus to the United States" of Qaeda terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed "stemmed from U.S. foreign policy toward Israel."

This, Mr. Mearsheimer asserted, "Simply can't be discussed in the mainstream media." He appeared to have forgotten the article that ran on September 20, 2001, on the op-ed page of the largest circulation American newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, that began with the sentence: "Is American support of Israel behind the hatred of this country that pervades the Arab world and that literally exploded into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11?"

In fact, Mr. Mearsheimer claimed, "There is a considerable amount of evidence that there is a linkage between the two" — the two being American support for Israel and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

An American university professor Thursday told an audience at the University of Chicago that Washington's support for Israel is the root cause of anti-US Islamic terror.

He insisted that absent this support, Al Qaeda probably would not have attacked on September 11, 2001.

The professor also accused the "Israel lobby" in Washington of pushing the US into war in Iraq...

I would like to ask, if you personally agree with the professor?

If you don't, please explain why ?

Of course not. Everyone knows the US was not attacked on 9/11. 9/11 was just a huge government/Jewish conspiracy.

Funny ... I don't feel trapped. (And who the hell is "we"?)

It sounds as if you have three options, and you don't know which to believe. Although since Option #1 and #2 involve the Jews, my money is on one of those two. And since #1 directly implicates the Jews, I suspect that's the one you believe the most, and that's why it's at the top of your list.

'We' the conspiracy nuts. Who just happen to have thousands of websites millions of articles and thousands of photo evidence of 9/11, we're growing stronger and stronger through out the world.

Your true option would be -- 19 Arabs from caves (some invincible, who are alive) with invincible passports, using box cutters ?

I've said it before ... 9/11 onspiracy theory and belief is a cottage industry.

Global anti-American feelings may take decades to fix

Friday, September 29, 2006

Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- It may take decades to change anti-American feelings around the world that have been aggravated by war in Iraq, U.S. policy toward Israel and America's "sex and violence" culture, the State Department official in charge of dealing with the U.S. image abroad said Thursday.

"The anti-Americanism, the concern around the world ... this ideological struggle, it's not going to change" quickly, Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes said in an interview with the Associated Press. "It's going to be the work of years and maybe decades."

A June poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found that America's image in 15 nations dropped sharply in 2006. According to that poll, America's continued involvement in Iraq was seen as a worse problem than Iran and its nuclear ambitions.
