excerpts from: For 10 years, we've lied to ourselves to avoid asking the one real question
by Robert Fisk, The Independent, 3 September 2011
Quote: | “By their books, ye shall know them. I'm talking about the volumes, the libraries – nay, the very halls of literature – which the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001 have spawned. Many are spavined with pseudo-patriotism and self-regard, others rotten with the hopeless mythology of CIA/Mossad culprits, a few (from the Muslim world, alas) even referring to the killers as "boys", almost all avoiding the one thing which any cop looks for after a street crime: the motive.
Why so, I ask myself, [...] Have we managed to silence ourselves as well as the world with our own fears? Are we still not able to say those three sentences: The 19 murderers of 9/11 claimed they were Muslims. They came from a place called the Middle East. Is there a problem out there?” |

excerpts from: Terror In America - The awesome cruelty of a doomed people
by Robert Fisk, The Independent, 12 September 2001
Quote: | “So it has come to this. The entire modern history of the Middle East [...] all erased within hours as those who claim to represent a crushed, humiliated population struck back with the wickedness and awesome cruelty of a doomed people.
Is it fair - is it moral - to write this so soon, without proof, without a shred of evidence, when the last act of barbarism in Oklahoma [1995 Oklahoma City bombing] turned out to be the work of home-grown Americans? I fear it is.” |

excerpt from: The suicide attack in Beirut last week was unusual in several respects, not least that the target was the Iranian embassy (*)
by Robert Fisk, The Independent, 25 November 2013
(*) title of the print edition
Quote: | The night before they blew themselves up outside the Iranian embassy in Beirut last week, the two suicide bombers stayed at the local Sheraton Hotel. Remind you of anything? Didn’t the 9/11 hijackers do the same, slept well in swish hotels before setting off to massacre the innocent? Just as the 9/11 men were of mixed nationality – most were Saudis but they included a Lebanese and an Egyptian – so at least the first of the two Beirut killers, the man who blasted down the Iranian embassy’s huge iron gate, was apparently Palestinian. And just as al-Qaeda in America went for symbolic targets – New York’s financial centre, the Pentagon, perhaps Capitol Hill – so the Beirut bombers went for the fulcrum of Iranian-Syrian-Hezbollah power in Lebanon, the embassy of the Islamic Republic. And their intention was to demolish the Iranian compound in Beirut as surely as the al-Qaeda men destroyed the World Trade Centre. |
