"Our people?" Bin Laden wasn't a Palestinian. He was just lying. So I'm pretty sure that's not the same.
He claimed he was defending his fellow arabs.
Would 9/11 have been justified if Bin Laden had been a Palestinian?
I don't play games like that. He wasn't a Palestinian. He wasn't fighting for Palestinians. That was a bullshit cover. It was a Saudi operation. It was funded by the Saudis and 17 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis. If there is ever a Palestinian attack on U.S. soil, and I doubt there will be since they don't have the funding or the organization, we can talk about whether or not it is justified and what measures, if any, should be taken.
But I'm not interested in "Would Hitler's invasion of Poland have been justified if the Poles were the ones oppressing the Jews" questions.
In summary:
You don't think American civilians 'had it coming' on 9/11. The reason you don't think they had it coming, is because Bin Laden wasn't Palestinian.
You do think Israeli civilians 'have it coming' now, because those murdering them are Palestinian.
If Palestians murdered 3000 American civilians, you think 'we could talk' about if that was justified and if they should face consequences ('if any') for that crime.
Perhaps predictably, you failed to not mention the holocaust or Hitler.
