“Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple because you attacked us and continue to attack us". Bin Laden cited foremost, U.S support for the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and the "oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation" that have taken place there. "The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone. Bin Laden claims that "The Jews have taken control of your economy" and are "Making you their servants”

“It's true, you know, Mark. There is nobody so virtuous as a reformed whore. We were the great robber barons-Rhodes and Robertson, Bailey and Barnato, Duff, Charleywood and Sean Courtney. We seized the land and then ripped the gold out of the earth, we hunted where we pleased, and burned the finest timber for our campfires, every man with a rifle in his hand and shoes on his feet was a king, prepared to fight anybody, Boer, Briton or Zulu, for the right of plunder.”

“Those who clamour so loudly for less work and more pay may find that the benefit they get now will have to be paid for at a thousand percent interest some day in the future.A payment in misery and hunger and suffering. If we are to steer off the reef of national disaster, then men will have to learn to work again, and to take seriously once more the demands of a disciplined and orderly society.”

“The condition of Afghanistan after the U.S war was appalling. The World Food Programme warned that by the end of 2021, 98 per cent of Afghans were not getting enough to eat, with millions facing starvation. By september 2023, the WFP claimed that they were nearly out of rescources and were "obliged to choose between the hungry and the starving, leaving millions of families scrambling for thier next meal." News reports out of Afghanistan are heartbreaking. There has been a significant rise in child labour as kids are sent to work to help feed families, doing jobs like picking through garbage. Some parents have been forced to sell one of their children in order to feed their other children. Others have had to sell their own organs or their children's organs.”
