US President Joe Biden Wednesday warned Israel not to make the same mistakes Washington made during 9/11. The recent attack by Hamas on Israel is being considered by Israel as its 9/11 moment and is referred to by Hamas as the Al Aqsa Flood.

“I understand. Many Americans understand,” Biden said, likening the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the US that killed nearly 3,000 people.

“You can’t look at what has happened here … and not scream out for justice. While you feel that rage, don’t be consumed by it. After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. While we sought justice and got justice we also made mistakes,” Biden said.
