Actress Patricia Heaton, the former star of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” issued a message on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks on America in which she stated that the same kinds of terrorists who wanted to butcher Americans on 9/11 now target Israel, and, by extension, Americans and all of Western democracy.
“I happened to be in New York City on September 11, 2001 with the cast of Everybody Loves Raymond,” Heaton, a devout Catholic, wrote on X. “It was a terrifying experience. It’s hard to believe now that Israel is experiencing the same horrors. It needs to end.”

In the accompanying video, she delivered this message:
It’s 9/11 again. And here we are. The same terrorists are back in full force, this time going after Israel but really they’re going after all of us. They’re going after Western democracy. They’re going against anyone who’s not a radical Islamist.
And anyone who calls for Israel to lay down its arms, you are supporting the same people who took down the Twin Towers. You are supporting Hamas; you are being used by Hamas. If you don’t understand this, you are being profoundly naive.
It is Hamas who broke the ceasefire on October 7. It’s Hamas who murdered all those Israelis. It is Hamas who took hostages, including babies, like Ariel and Kfir Bibas. It is Hamas who puts Palestinians in the line of danger. It is Hamas who has refused — over twenty times — to sign a ceasefire deal. It is Hamas who executed the hostages.
It’s not the United States. It’s not Israel.
Please understand this: Israel has to stay in it and do what is necessary until the terrorists are eliminated. Please understand this.
God bless everyone who died on 9/11, everyone in the Twin Towers, and all the first responders. And God bless their families. And God bless everyone who’s still waiting for people to come home from Gaza.
