From Chaya Gil:
He (Ward) spoke about 9/11. He watched it on that day on three channels, and heard them all calling it repeatedly a “senseless” killing. But he knew right away that it was not senseless, there were reasons. Perhaps he wouldn’t agree with the reasons, but it certainly had reasons, it wasn’t “senseless.” The next day, bin Laden listed the reasons: (1) USA killed 500,000 Iraqi children. (2) The Israelis shooting stone-throwing children in Palestine. (3) The presence of Americans in Saudi Arabia. He personally thinks that the third reason is not equal to the first two, although he also doesn’t see any reason why the US should be in Saudi Arabia, still it’s not as good a reason as the first two. So 9/11 wasn’t “senseless.”
The second word we heard repeatedly after 9/11, was “innocent Americans”... Innocent Americans?! The US created the problem, and then blames others for the problem, and pretends to fix it by making the problem even worse. All for economic greed. So those who were killed in the Trade Center were the operators of the US economic power machine. And this is why he called them “3,000 Eichmans.” Not because he tried to compare them to Nazis, but because like Eichman, they haven’t actually killed, but they have operated a killing system. Eichman too never killed a single Jew, he just operated a train schedule to the death camps…. There hasn’t been any problem in the Middle East until Americans interfered and forced the creation of Arab states. All for greed.
More on Ward Churchill later... Oh, it's just going to get worse for DePaul.
