Are Those Who Question 9/11 Anti-Semites?
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2007/11/are-those-who-question-911-anti-semites.html
Anti-semitism is one of the most frequent allegations levied by defenders of the government's version of 9/11 against people questioning that account.
Is it true? Are 9/11 activists really anti-semites?
Well, prominent Rabbi Michael Lerner and other Jewish leaders are calling for 9/11 truth. Indeed, Rabbi Lerner says that uncovering the truth of 9/11 has the power to bring positive, lasting change to our nation and to our world.
And many of the leading members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and other groups questioning 9/11 are Jewish. As are some of the other prominent individuals who have called for a deeper investigation into the events of 9/11. Indeed, some of the most-committed and hard-working 9/11 activists, such as Jon Gold and many others, are Jewish.
Moreover, the charges of anti-semitism are clearly illogical. For example, a book has been labelled as anti-semitic even though its co-editor is Jewish and it contains contributions from 4 Jewish writers.
So that must mean that these are "self-loathing" Jews, right? No, actually. I know many of these people quite well, and they are wholly comfortable being Jewish. Many are proud of their heritage and their faith.
As former Secretary of State Colin Powell once stated, “It is not anti-Semitic to criticize the policies of the state of Israel.” Presumably, criticizing illegal acts by Mossad or other Israeli services would also be acceptable.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with having a debate based upon whether or not there are credible facts justifying the hypothesis that portions of the 9/11 attacks were subcontracted out by rogue elements within the U.S. government to people associated with Mossad or other Israeli intelligence services, just as it is reasonable to discuss whether or not there are facts implicating British or other allied intelligence services in aiding and abetting the attacks.
There are admittedly a very small number of people claiming that they are for 9/11 truth but making anti-semitic remarks. However, they are shunned by the overwhelming majority of 9/11 activists who abhor anti-semitism. People who say "the Jews did it" and then use a bunch of anti-semitic and derogatory language are probably government infiltrators. Again, however, debating factual evidence one way or the other concerning the possible involvement of people affiliated with an allied intelligence service -- British or Israeli -- is not anti-semitic ... it is Constitutionally-protected free speech.

No...
However, I am anti-murdering 2,973+ people in order to further fascist agendas that have no place in this country, or on this planet.

Interesting thread GW certainly worth airing.
To see an individual based solely on the group, race, or religion they are involved with is a nefarious road to travel for anyone or society at large. Diversity strengthens society as long as there is a common respect for human life, individualism, freedom, liberty, and personal responsibility. Personally speaking, it's the individual's behavior that should be judged if their behavior or conduct is unacceptable then the individual should be held accountable, not the group, race, or religion they belong too.
That being said we are left with certain question that are uncomfortable to address. For one, it does bother me that we have way to many dual citizens of US/Israel in high positions of our government that deal in foreign policy, and it is questionable where their true loyalties lie in lieu of our present and past positions in the middle east, in addition, the Israeli political action groups in Washington are feared by politicians, and this is injudicious.
Quite frankly, I have never found the middle east to be a threat to the US, considering our arsenal of weapons and patriotic individuals who are willing to defend the US. We give Israel 3-5 billion dollars each year, and have given them most of their military hardware. From that standpoint the dual citizens issue is paramount. Therefore, those individuals plus many other individuals from other groups, races, and religion are in question. This is why we need an (all together now ...) independent investigation of all 911 issues.
Israel Sets the Stage for a Massive, $60 Billion Military Buildu
author: David Eshel
Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi approved today (Sept 3rd, 2007) the Israel defense Forces (IDF) five year military procurement plan under the codename "TEFEN 2012" projecting expenditure of US$60 billion over five years between 2008 and 2012.
http://www.defense-update.com/analysis/analysis_030907_israel.htm
The program reflects the IDF's utilization of the increased US military aid supporting about 75% of the program. The US$30 Billion additional military aid to be allocated over 10 years was committed by the USA last month to support Israel's military buildup will play an instrumental role in the new revitalization program and, will most probably influence some of the IDF procurement decisions. TEFEN will be submitted to government approval by January 2008.
For the first time in over a decade, the IDF make significant investment in its land forces, as it plans to field hundreds of new Merkava Mk4 tanks, heavy armored personnel fighting vehicles, command and control elements and a wide range of unmanned systems.
Strategic investments in Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Surveillance (ISR) will constitute a major element in TEFEN, as ISR programs are expected to proceed at an even higher pace, facing the growing risk of escalation and destabilization in the region. Assets will include aerial (manned and unmanned) platforms, spaceborne and electronic surveillance means. Furthermore, Israel is expected expand its missile defensive systems, introducing enhanced Arrow 3 ballistic missile interceptors, which will enhance the current 'Homa' program preparing to face the imminent unconventional threat from Iran, anticipated by the end of this decade. The program is funding continued development of the 'Magic Wand' medium range missile interceptor, currently under development in a joint Israeli-US program. TEFEN seeks accelerating development and potential fielding of the 'Iron Cap' Counter Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) system, which is expected to be ready for operational use within 24 months.
The shift toward the land forces is reflecting some of the lessons learned from the 2nd lebanon War, where Israel's land forces experienced operational problems especially in land forces employment following years of neglect and erosion in equipment modernization and training scheduled. During the last years, while operational focus was diffused by continuous low-intensity warfare in the occupied territories, which gave national priorities to small unit counter-insurgency tactics and equipment.
One of the significant elements of the five year program is the reconstitution of maneuver warfare as part of the IDF operational capability, realizing the threats and limitations imposed by modern weapons and asymmetric warfare tactics. Acquisition and upgrading of hundreds of new armored personnel carriers, primarily Merkava based Namer AIFVs (shown in the image above) will strengthen the infantry brigades, enabling them to move and fight over any terrain facing high threat levels in fire saturated environment. The absence of such vehicles severely hampered IDF maneuverability and mobility during last year's Lebanon war, necessitating the use of Merkava tanks to operate under severe tactical inferiority conditions, lacking adequate protection, mainly operating in unsuitable infantry support when tasked with troop mobility, resupply and medical evacuation missions, pitted against 3rd and 4th generation anti-tank missiles.
Production of Merkava Mk4 tanks will continue as planned, adding hundreds of tanks throughout 2012. These tanks will eventually replace all Merkava Mk 2 tanks currently stored for reserve units. The Ground Forces Command will establish a new divisional headquarters, adding more flexibility to the tactical command structure. However, the IDF is not expected to establish new units under the current buildup plan. In addition, Israel will continue to produce Merkava 4 tanks. Both Merkava and Namer will receive new active protection systems (APS) which will dramatically enhance their protection against advanced anti-tank threats. Unlike passive and reactive armor, APS will provide all-round protection to the vehicles, making them useful in asymmetric battle, as well as in high intensity conflict. APS will also be provided to other tanks, including Merkava Mk 3, some Mk2s and other heavy APCs.
While some of the funding foreseen by the Israel Air and Space Force (IASF) will be redirected to the land and naval arms, the Air Force will still receive major influx of new systems including some of the latest air assets. The new program confirms, for the first time, the IDF plans to buy up to 100 F-35 Lightning II strike fighters (photo above). Within the scope of the current five years plan, the IASF will be able to commit to procurement of a first line fighter squadron, purchasing the first batch of 25 aircraft, air/air and precision strike weaponry and support systems. If the IASF makes its decision quickly enough, the first aircraft could be delivered by 2014. The IASF will also receive funding to upgrade its existing aircraft arsenal; included are plans for avionics upgrades of all F-16C/D fighters, bringing them to the Block 50/52 (F-16I) level and possible upgrades for the F-15 fleet. However, due to budgetary constraints the IASF will have to postpone the procurement of new aerial refueling and transport aircraft, which are rapidly aging and therefore increasingly expensive to maintain. Since the operating budgets of refueling assets are funded separately, the IASF may consider alternative options, including outsourcing of aerial refueling services using Gulfstream G550 or Boeing platforms.
The Israel Navy (IN) will receive 'green light' committing to the construction of two Littoral Combat Ships, which will probably be used as command ships for two naval task forces, combining surface and subsurface elements including Dolphin submarines, Saar V corvettes, improved Saar IV missile boats and unmanned surface vessels. The navy will also receive new air defense systems, most probably, derivatives of the joint Israeli-Indian Barak-8 development program.
Why is this allowed?
Thanks aayers for posting this information. The US is 10 trillion in debt, so why did officials commit to: "The program reflects the IDF's utilization of the increased US military aid supporting about 75% of the program. "
BTW - Arabs are semites, too
and ... what speaks clearly from these accusations is the fear that Mossad DID have something to do with 911.
I personally think it was a wholly US-american-military conflagration.
In the CIA/MOSSAD/MI6/BND/SAS/ISI "game of marionettes" there are many schemes that intertwine unwitting participants and everyone is blackmailing everyone.... but the principal perps were YANKS.
Who has the power to pull it off?
Who has the power to cover it up?
In a devil's advocate scenario -- imagine that Israel really did 911:
- place explosives in 3 towers AND the pentagon
- manipulate passenger jets
- remote-control the wargames
- give the US military and US government the the clues how to cover it up.
Nah! sorry. Not a chance.

Corroborating a van full of explosives reported at the G.W. Bridge
http://crimesofthestate.blogspot.com/2007/09/corroborating-orwell-van-fu...
Why Israeli participation in the attacks must be investigated:
1) Israeli agents exposed celebrating the attacks, before anyone even knew they were "attacks." Took photographs of each other holding up cigarette lighter, with the burning WTC in the background. Implies detailed operational knowledge and zealous desire for attacks to succeed.
2) Same agents although arrested and held, are released quietly while the white house labels everything related to these Israeli agents "classified." Complete cover up must not stand.
3) At least 200 agents of Israel detained, plus several participants who fled without being detained (owner of Urban Moving Systems). Implies massive spy operation.
4) Israelis attempted to blow up the Mexican congress building one day short of the one month anniversary of 9-11. Was "10/10" supposed to be the rallying cry for Mexicans to join in the "War on Terror?" And to join the military en masse to fight in the Middle East?
5) Israeli owned security companies were present at all the relevant airports of 9-11.
6) Larry Silverstein was close to both Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon. Silverstein of course had control of the WTC site.
7) Numerous Israeli/American zionists in PNAC, and in the white house on 9/11. Ties to Netanyahu and Likud. PNAC evolved from "A Clean Break" and other Israeli position papers (Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, others). The labelling of all state enemies as "terrorists" is standard Israeli practice, imported to USA.
8) Israel has long history of false flag attacks, including on USS Liberty, Berlin nightclub, Uganda hijacking incident, Achille Lauro, Lavon Affair. The motto of the Mossad is literally: "By way of deception thou shall do war." (book by Victor Ostrovsky)
For these and other reasons available in the linked articles, I find it absurd that we can't investigate Israeli involvement, and that OUR motives are questioned for doing so.

"Is it true? Are 9/11 activists really anti-semites?"
Well, some of us are.
Like me. I prefer to call myself anti-Jewish or anti-zionist. Because Arabs are also Semites and I as an Euro has nothing against Arabs.
Does my anti-zionism have anything to do with 911? Nope. There may have been some Mossad involvement. Who knows? 911 was a inside American job.
Remember that Israel is 100% stolen from the Palestinians. The Jews did some massive ethnic cleansing in 1948. Expelled 800 000 Palestinians and declared the state of Israel.
I don't expect you Yanks to be aware of this. Your mass media is owned by Jews. This is a simple fact that is true.
Do you know have much lying needed in the American mass media to cover up this simple fact. By now it is a fact, Israel is stolen country. Do you know the amount of American taxpayers money that gone into this lie and made Israel into a nuclear power in the M-E?
There is no need to shit in your pants if someone calls you an anti-semite. Be proud. You must have done something good.
Israel has NOTHING to do
Israel has NOTHING to do with 911...
they may have filmed it to blackmail the US, they may have covered the whereabouts of Atta and the 19 arabs ..
The CIA even manipulated German Secret Service in order to be able to blackmail them for complicity...
Its a game of shadows and marionettes. But the tower-bombings and the HIGH TECH terrorist attacks were done by the US military...
