The month of September has a trail of historical events that have endangered Western Civilization. Two events are significant in establishing terrorism as a weapon:

September 1970 – “Black September” – the Palestinian uprising and all out revolution against the government of Jordan. The result was the murder of thousands of Palestinians, the expulsion of thousands more from Jordan, and the founding of the Black September Organization ultimately responsible for numerous acts of terror. The Black September Organization became a Palestinian Movement and carried out the Munich Olympics Massacre in September 1972 of 11 Israeli athletes, shocking the world and setting the stage for a legacy of terror.

September 2001 – Terrorism was brought home to the US with the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Airlines flight 93. It appears that the Obama administration wants to erase these indelible images, by changing the focus from honoring the victims of September 11 to instituting a so-called “National Day of Service.” This would replace any reminder that terrorism is alive and well in the radical Islamic world.

This is what we have to look forward to in September 2009. These events could prove to be pivotal during this month of September.

September 12-13 An “End the Occupation Conference” in Chicago featuring pro-Palestinian speakers, whose connection with President Obama are widely acknowledged, will speak to “the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.” The speakers, who are also associated with radical Hamas and Fatah, have as their stated theme: “We aim to change those US policies that both sustain Israel`s 42-year occupation of the Palestinian West Bank,Gaza, and East Jerusalem, and deny equal rights for all.”

September 26 President Obama will address at the United Nations and offer his vision of the “Two State Solution.”

September 19 marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year – 5770 – a time of reflection on our lives and our close relationships with people and circumstances that most affect the quality of our world.

It is a very fitting time, therefore, to consider calling public attention to the dangers that lie before us in this fateful month of September during this new year of the Jewish calendar. But it is also useful to look back and gauge the impact and the lessons learned from other previous events.
