Anti-Israel protesters on December 28, 2023, took their blockade tactics to the World Trade Center. The rebuilt World Trade Center. After the 9/11 attack by Islamic fundamentalist terrorists destroyed the prior World Trade Center, killing 3000 people and changing the course of our history.
The October 7 attack on Israel has been called Israel’s 9/11, but statistically relative to the size of the population it was much worse. And as barbaric as the 9/11 attack was, October 7 was a much more personal and face-to-face bloodletting, with mass rape, torture, and mutilation.
As with the blockades of major roadways and airports, one reaction to the blockade is to point out that the anti-Israel protesters are not helping their public relations or cause. So much is true.
Pro-Palestinian protesters have shut down the entrance to the World Trade Center in New York City. Hundreds of protesters decided to use the World Trade Center, the same location where the 9/11 attacks took place, to stage their protest. The incident comes just one day after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked off the entrance to the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. These people are doing way more harm for their cause than good.
But with the blockade of the World Trade Center, I don’t think that’s enough.
Their goal is not to convince people, it’s to send a message of intimidation, that they will disregard even our most sensitive of norms because they hate our society as much if not more than they hate Israel.
It’s not just about Israel. It’s about us.
