When Palestinian Authority (PA) police fired on anti-American protesters in the Gaza strip on Oct. 9, Chairman Yassir Arafat permanently cast his lot against Osama bin Laden??€”and therefore with the U.S.—in the current conflict. We are deeply concerned by the use of deadly force to quell the protests and deplore the PA’s attempt to suppress news reports of the events. But we hope that its opposition to the horrific Sept. 11 attack on innocent civilians will convince the PA that it must combat terrorism, in all its forms...
...Hamas has expressed strong support for Osama bin Laden, and Palestinian officials have said it was behind the Oct. 9 riot in Gaza. Its sympathies are, and have always been, clear.

He must realize that doctors, stockbrokers and children in Tel Aviv and Haifa have the same right to live their lives in peace as those in New York City...

Some tribes made treaties; other tribes tried raids, or open battles, until they were wiped out, but any resistance offered was futile—the expansion of our border was never really checked or slowed until it reached the Pacific Ocean. Though most of bin Laden??€™s rhetoric is laced with references to Islam, he mostly preaches against the U.S. rather than for Allah. It seems likely that his motivations are not religious, but a desperate attempt to unite the Arab world against encroachment by America and the West. His appeals to religion are practical...
