What if the story the world has known for over twenty years is not the whole story?

In Israel and 9/11, emeritus professor Kees van der Pijl examines the attacks of September 11, 2001, from a fundamentally different perspective than the official narrative. He argues that the events surrounding 9/11 cannot be separated from Israel's geopolitical interests, the influence of Zionism, and the power dynamics that have shaped international politics for decades.

Based on historical sources, political developments, and geopolitical analyses, Van der Pijl constructs an alternative interpretation of the prelude to 9/11, the attacks themselves, and their far-reaching consequences. According to the author, the attacks marked a turning point that paved the way for the global 'War on Terror,' military interventions, and a drastic expansion of security and surveillance measures.

The book covers topics such as:

• The historical development of Zionism.
• The relationship between Israel and the United States.
• Geopolitical interests in the Middle East.
• The events of September 11, 2001.
• The political and military consequences that followed.
• The influence of media, intelligence services, and international power structures.

Van der Pijl does not shy away from controversial topics and questions assumptions that, in his view, are rarely critically examined. His analysis deviates significantly from the conclusions of official investigations and from the views widely held by historians and terrorism researchers. Precisely for this reason, this book will spark discussion.

Whether you ultimately agree with the author or not, Israel and 9/11 is written for readers who want to delve into geopolitics, power, international relations, and alternative analyses of one of the most impactful events of the 21st century.
