The Gorilla in the Room is US Support for Israel.

Lee Hamilton insults the American people at a "9/11 Public Discourse Project" Q&A. At the August 2, 2005 "public event," Hamilton quickly trys to silence someone who asks why US support for Israel isn't being addressed since it is what drove the plotter of 9/11 to attack us.

Questioner: Mr. Hamilton? I had a quick question for you sir. I had spoken with you on C-SPAN about a month ago ...

Hamilton (interrupting the questioner): I think we'd uh ...

Questioner: ... yeah, we talked about Israeli policy ...

Hamilton (interrupting the questioner): I think we would like to address sir .. we would like to address

Questioner: Yeah, why aren't we addressing the gorilla in the room? The gorilla in the room is US support for Israel. You had made a mistake earlier.

Hamilton: (grumbling)

Questioner: ... the plotter of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was driven to attack us -not because of "radical ideologies" as ...

Hamilton (interrupting the questioner): OK, uh ...

Questioner: ... Prime Minister Blair -

(Grumbling from someone in the crowd)

Questioner: ... Because of US support for Israel.* Why aren't we addressing this sir?

Hamilton: Alright sir.

Questioner: You got Mr. Bamford's book from me, James Bamford's A Pretext for War book

Hamilton (interrupting the questioner): OK ...

Questioner: ... which conveys why we were attacked and then you have Mr. Ross up here who is basically affiliated with the Israeli lobby AIPAC ...

Hamilton: Alright sir ...

Questioner: You ...

(Man from back of the room walks over and stops the questioner)

Hamilton: Alright, this is a conversation you and I aught to have. Let's not take up the time of our resource people. May we go to the next question please? Thank you very much.

* He is correct, on page 147 of the 9/11 Commission Report, it says "By his own account, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experiences there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."
