“Terrorist” acts never occur in a bubble. The 1993 WTC bombing was an act of protest against the US’s ongoing support of Israel. 9/11 itself would never have occurred without western interference in the Middle East. And Hamas—a hybrid resistance group and government leadership—would never have existed or had to fight back if Israel were not a colonial power there. And much like the US’s response to 9/11, Israel is using the actions of a group they created as an excuse to carry out horrific acts in the name of “revenge.” Unlike 9/11, though, social media has enabled the world to see Israel for what it is, and the global protests have been massive. I believe this could lead to real change in the way the west holds power in the Middle East. I encourage everyone to inform themselves about the history of Palestine and to speak out against the suffering they have endured.
