So we have two quotes from the same person. The one I supplied points out that Israel’s behaviour is not the only justification Bin Laden gave, and the one you’ve given does not negate the first quote. Hence, to pretend it’s the only reason is to misrepresent his views. The first time may have been ignorance or a mistake but to continue to argue it after being shown the evidence to the contrary implies intention, or perhaps cognitive dissonance of some sort but it doesn’t correct the record in any way, shape, or form.

He clearly states in both the quote and the BBC article you posted that Israel's actions are motivation. You're arguing semantics when the point is that Israel is a liability to US citizens and nothing you posted contradicts that. The parent that I was responding to said that it's not debatable that Israel is of strategic value to US citizens and both of our posts show that it definitely is debatable.

Yes, the semantics between only and many. Somehow you wish to gloss over any difference and focus on Israel alone.
