 E. Belfort Bax: Marat (Chap.6)
The September massacres were the work of a populace driven to a despairing frenzy by the combination of circumstances above enumerated.
September, 1792 –; 1,800 or at most 2,000 slain, all after some trial, however brief, by a populace in a burst of despairing rage; May, 1871, obscure prisoners of war maltreated and slaughtered daily in small numbers for a month, – this consummated in the moment of victory, by a carnage estimated officially at 15,000?
The occasion of the first skirmish was the sitting of September the 24th, in the debate preceding the passing of a law against inciters to assassination, when the “People’s Friend” was indirectly, but very unmistakably indicated; indeed, the law itself was really aimed at him.

 Indict Ariel Sharon - Confronting War Crimes: Challenging Impunity
With the Sharon case, and the massacres of 11 September, a further test for global justice is underway.
Massacres are too complex and dramatic to be exactly similar in every respect, and the massive crime perpetrated in New York on 11 September is sui generis
By its sheer size, its wantonness, its ferocity, its callousness, its planning, the means used and the thousands of innocent civilians destroyed in a brief lapse of time, the crime then qualifies as a crime against humanity, a category which is well defined in international law and carries the common responsibility of all humankind.

The tragedy of September 11, the thousands of innocents killed in New York, the violence unleashed in the aftermath, in which many innocent people have also died, must be more precisely analysed in terms of the “Middle Eastern character” of a conflict dominated since by the use of force.
The use of the words “massacre” (in the plural or the singular) and “crime against humanity” instead of “attack” and “terror/ism” is not merely a play on word, and the consequences are equally significant for law and policy.
As a crime against humanity, the perpetrators, facilitators, and abettors of the September 11 massacres must be sought under international law across the planet, and it is the duty of all countries and governments to help actively in their arrest, trial and punishment after due process is served.

One story circulating by e-mail is the allegation that CNN used 1991 footage of celebrating Palestinians in its September 11th, 2001, coverage reporting that some inhabitants of East Jerusalem were partying in the streets immediately after the terrorist attacks.
In a September 20, 2001, statement issued by CNN, the news agency denied the accusations and published an official statement from the Universidad Estatal de Campinas-Brasil (UNICAMP), which, among other things, states that the student responsible for the e-mail has withdrawn his accusations.
Technically, the "Klingerman Virus" Hoax is not related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, yet it seems to be circulating widely due to the U.S. public's fear—fueled by hypothetical scenarios sketched by the media—that another attack, espcially with biological weapons, could occur.
