When 19 Saudi Arabians, all Arab, all Muslim, hijack planes and crash them into office buildings killing 3000 Americans, ya instantly think "Gee, I think Israel is behind this somehow."

Israel got 19 Arab/Muslims to commit suicide just to make Arabs look bad?

How did Israel convince them to do this?

The next charge is that Israel knew 9/11 was about to happen and failed to warn the USA.

Its possible Israel did have intelligence on Al Qada and the Bin Laden network, but remember, the FBI and the CIA weren't even sharing intelligence. It would be hard to get that information to the right person at the right time. I think its highly probable that Israel had more intelligence than the USA. However, it seems more key that the Bush administration had told govt. authorities to lay off of our "allies" the Saudis, hence the absolute pants down effect of all US govt. agencies to the 9/11 attack.

Heck, the two places on earth where there was dancing in the streets on the news of our huge civilian death loss on Sept. 11th were in Baghdad and Palestinian cities. Maybe the Palestinians were behind the 9/11 attacks?

Did some Israelis witness the attack and make videotapes of it? Yes. Lots of people witnessed the attacks and took videotapes of the attack. It happened in the city in the United states with the largest Jewish population in the country. The fact that some Israelis, seeing the historical nature of the attack, acted to record the events, hardly proves they were behind the attacks.

The last point, that it was our support of Israel that triggered the Bin Laden network to attack the USA. While gripes about Israel were on Bin Laden's list, they were no where near the top of the list. US troops on Saudi soil was Bin Laden's #1 complaint. But even if it were Bin Laden's #1 reason for attacking America --and we determined that he is a megalomanical demented enemy who doesn't function in the rational sphere-- that should not shake us in our support for Israel. We should be against unlawful gangters whereever they are.
