  • He notes that his new book, Confronting Evil, begins by placing readers inside an Israeli town during the Hamas attack:

2. Parallels to 9/11 and the Futility of Terror

• Comparing Attacks:
  • O’Reilly draws a comparison to the September 11th attacks:

    "The attack on 911 is similar. What gains were made by bin Laden and al Qaeda? How did Hamas do after slaughtering innocent Jews 23 years later? The answer is...nothing was gained. Massive death and destruction followed both cowardly attacks."
