Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) President of U.S. Affairs Alyza D. Lewin issued the following statement for Friday’s 25th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks:
“Twenty-five years ago, our country endured an act of unimaginable evil. On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 civilians of every faith and background were murdered in the deadliest terrorist atrocity in history, perpetrated by 19 Al Qaeda hijackers driven by an ideology of radical Islamist hatred.”
“A quarter of a century later, memories of the horrors of that clear blue morning remain visceral for all who witnessed them, and the transformative impact of the attacks on our society continues to reverberate.”
“On this landmark anniversary, we must confront two dangerous revisionist trends — the growing proliferation of efforts to distort, minimize, or even justify 9/11, and the mainstreaming of antisemitic conspiracy theories blaming Jews or Israel for the attacks.”
“We cannot allow the void created by the passage of time to be filled with misinformation and lies that dishonor the victims and offer ideological cover for enemies of humanity that still seek to harm America today.”
“Remembering September 11th means defending historical truth, refusing to legitimize terrorism, and rejecting antisemitism in all its contemporary forms.”
“Today, we mourn the loss of every innocent soul stolen in the attacks and honor those, including the courageous first responders at the World Trade Center and the heroic passengers of Flight 93, who gave their lives to save others.”
“As 9/11 continues to recede further into the past, we must ensure that future generations are taught what happened that day and the lessons it holds, so that the truth is never forgotten or rewritten.”
