In a June 4 Jordan Times article entitled ?Americans have the right to know?, Dr. Naseer Alomari, a Jordanian assistant professor of education at Marist College in New York, attempts to clarify for Americans ?why they were attacked? on September 11, 2001. In short, writes the professor, ?America was attacked because of institutionalised political bias against the Arabs that came as a result of careful coordination between most American politicians and their campaign financiers, the highly influential Jewish lobby.?
Alomari attempts to refute other arguments that are prevalent in America as to the reason for the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC. ?The American people were told that they had been attacked by people who hated their values....? writes the Jordanian professor, ?If that were true, the terrorists could have attacked... any other democratic country.? Another belief in America, according to the Jordan Times article, is that ?they were attacked because they are Christians. If that were true, there are plenty of Christians in Arab and Muslim countries that would make an easier target?.? Furthermore, Alomari writes, ?The American people were also told that the question of why they were attacked is not a patriotic issue, because it assumes that there are justifiable reasons for terrorising America, and there are none??
The only reason these explanations are in the public mind, the Marist College assistant professor writes, is because of ?manoeuvres employed by compromised major media outlets and most American politicians who are paid by the Jewish lobby to make sure that the American people fail to see the direct connection between America's pro-Israel bias against an enraged Arab street and terrorist attack?.? Those who argue that no American policy justifies terrorism against American civilians, writes Alomari, ?are more interested in the security of Israel than in that of America.?
The ?Jewish lobby? referred to by Alomari is also responsible for the attacks, ?because moderate Arabs and Muslims have been undercut politically by successive American administrations who, for instance, rushed to attack and contain Iraq, but did nothing to pressure Israel to comply with the United Nations resolution.? The answer to anti-American terrorism and ?the sustained radicalisation of Arab youth,? the Jordan Times article explains, is ?pressuring Israel to respect the United Nations resolutions and stop giving billions of dollars to Israel until it complies with international law?. Disrupting the recruitment of new terrorists can only start if the average Arab and Muslim ceases to see a pattern of bias against Arab issues.?
The Jordanian professor concludes by presenting Americans with a choice: stop support for Israel or suffer more terrorism. He writes, ?The question to the American people is whether their security and safety should be placed ahead of the Zionist dreams of stealing more Palestinian land and humiliating millions of Arabs.?
