This is not a good time, from Israel’s standpoint, for people to start raising questions about Israel’s potential involvement in the 9/11 attacks. From Ron Unz at unz.com:
Charlie Kirk and America’s Long History of Assassinations
Although the September 10th assassination of Charlie Kirk was horrifying, the death of that young conservative activist was merely the latest in a long history of such high-profile killings in our deeply troubled society.
Just a few months earlier, an agitated gunman had shot and killed Melissa Hortman, the former Democratic Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives along with her husband. Earlier this year, an individual outraged over health insurance policies had killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Robert Thompson. Last year, gunmen had twice unsuccessfully tried to assassinate Donald Trump as he campaigned for the White House. Back in 2017, a deranged leftist gunman had seriously injured House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise and three others, while a half-dozen years earlier, an equally deranged right-wing gunman had critically wounded Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords and killed six others.
In 1972 Arthur Bremmer had shot and permanently crippled presidential candidate Gov. George Wallace, in 1975 Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Sara Jane Moore had separately tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford, while in 1981 John Hinckley Jr. had similarly targeted President Ronald Reagan. In 1978 former San Francisco Supervisor Dan White had killed Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, while in 1980 Mark David Chapman had shot to death Beatles star John Lennon.
Successful, very high-profile American assassinations had been even more common during the 1960s. President John F. Kennedy and his younger brother Robert both died by assassins’ bullets during those years, as did black leaders Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The latter’s white racialist counterpart was George Lincoln Rockwell, and he too was assassinated in that same decade.
Beginning with President Abraham Lincoln’s killing in 1865, the list of American political assassinations has been a very long one, filling an entire 12,000 word Wikipedia page despite even omitting some of the cases listed above.
