How 9/11 helped Israel sell its war on Palestinians to America

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the event would "generate immediate sympathy" and strengthen US-Israel bonds. This moment provided an opportunity for Israel to frame its actions against Palestinians within the context of a global "war on terror." The attacks shifted US foreign policy, allowing Israel to align itself with the US against a new perceived enemy, radical Islam, thereby easing the presentation of its policies as part of a shared struggle.
