This document was originally delivered as President George W. Bush's speech to the American people after the terrorist attacks of September 11. This is the speech that not only consoled America, but laid the foundation for the response to the terrible and horrific attack on American soil. Just like some Israelis (especially those on the right), George Bush comes to the conclusion in his speech: “We are united to win the war on terrorism,” very quickly after his brief condolences to the American people. George Bush believed that the appropriate response to 9/11 was not a simple acceptance of the tragedy and solidarity with the victims, but rather a call to action to fight “those responsible and bring them to justice.” Say no to plagiarism.

In the moment of sadness that has overwhelmed the American people, President Bush tries to make people feel united in the fight against the great forces of evil. In President Bush's eyes, the American people have persevered through the trials of the terrorist attacks, and people should have hope for the justice that will come in the future. A highly nationalistic and vague message is given, allowing for universality and comfort for all people in America. Additionally, President Bush cites an Old Testament biblical passage (Psalm 23), in which God is described as being with a man walking “through the valley of the shadow of death.” President Bush wants people to remain true to these values, regardless of their religion, so that Americans can overcome this period of grief (which is perfectly equivalent to a man walking through the valley of death). This speech responds not only emotionally to the pain of many, but also concretely, in the sense that it firmly states that justice will be done for what happened. There are few details about how this will happen, but one thing President Bush has discussed is that there will be "no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." This could have gigantic implications in the future in the Middle East, because President Bush is essentially saying that there could be wars against countries in the future, not just terrorist organizations. This response can be equated with much of the similar policies of Benjamin Netanyahu and Naftali Bennett, both of whom believe that the solution to Palestinian terrorist attacks is war or complete annexation of Palestinian land. Naftali Bennett is a little less warmongering than Netanyahu, as he supports the annexation of Area C of Judea and Samaria, rather than neglecting Palestinian negotiations and letting people die as Netanyahu does. The connection between George Bush's response to 9/11 and Netanyahu's perpetual violence is unfailing, as in both situations the leaders of countries affected by acts of terrorism responded with extreme calls for action to combat the instigators. George Bush essentially had the support to go into Iraq and do whatever he wanted in the Middle East because Americans needed to bring someone to justice, regardless of whether that meant destroying Iraq. Likewise, Netanyahu has the fundamental right to defend his country, but his tactics have been questioned by many of his critics. Israel is essentially under perpetual threat and attack and typically experiences several acts of terror each year. THE.
