Were the 9-11 Hijackers Really Arabs? Maybe Not
Were those hijackers really Arabs? Would Israeli agents carry out a
suicide mission that could cost American Jewish lives? Consider these
little-known facts . . .
by Michael Collins Piper - American Free Press
In 1986 the New York-based leader of the terrorist Jewish Defense
League, Victor Vancier, gave a prophetic hint of what may have been
finally played out on Sept. 11, 2001:
If you think the Shiites in Lebanon are capable of fantastic acts of
suicidal terrorism, the Jewish underground will strike targets that will
make Americans gasp: "How could Jews do such things?"
According to Vancier, quoted by Robert I. Friedman in The Village
Voice on May 6, 1986, his allies were "desperate people" who "don't
care if they live or die."
Considering this warning it is entirely conceivable the "Middle
Eastern" men described by passengers on the airliners were not Arabs at
all.
Evidence to be explored suggests that instead, these hijackers could
well have been Israeli-sponsored fundamentalist Jewish fanatics (posing as
"bin Laden Arabs") hoping to instigate an all-out U.S. war against the
Arab world.
"Jewish suicide bombers? Impossible!" cry critics. However, the fact is
that there is a "suicide tradition" that is a much-revered part of Jewish
history -- going back to the famous mass suicide at Masada by Jewish
zealots.
But in modern times, Israeli suicide missions have been undertaken. In
The Other Side of Deception former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky
described one 1989 venture: the participants were "all volunteers" advised
that there was effectively "no possibility of rescue should they be
caught."
And what about the Arabic language heard on one airplane's black box?
Consider a formerly secret CIA assessment, Israel: Foreign
Intelligence and Security Services, dated March 1979, which reported
that it is a long-standing policy for Israeli intelligence to disguise
Jews as Arabs:
One of the established goals of the intelligence and security
services is that each officer be fluent in Arabic. A nine-month,
intensive Arabic language course is given annually . . . to students . .
.
As further training, these Mossad officers work in the
[Israeli-controlled Arab lands] for two years to sharpen their language
skills. . . .
Many Israelis have come from Arab countries where they were born and
educated and appear more Arab than Israeli . . .
By forging passports and identity documents of Arab and western
countries and providing sound background legends and cover, Mossad has
successfully sent into Egypt and other Arab countries Israelis disguised
and documented as Arabs or citizens of European countries. . . . These
persons are also useful for their ability to pass completely for a
citizen of the nation in question. The Israeli talent for counterfeiting
or forging foreign passports and documents ably supports the agent's
authenticity.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Jack Anderson, a supporter of Israel, wrote on
Sept. 17, 1972 that:
Israeli agents -- immigrants whose families had lived in Arab lands
for generations -- have a perfect knowledge of Arab dialects and
customs. They have been able to infiltrate Arab governments with ease.
On Sept, 29, 1998, Yossi Melman, writing in Israel's Ha'aretz, revealed
that:
Shin Bet agents, who worked undercover in the Israeli-Arab sector in
the 1950s, went as far as to marry Muslim women and have children with
them, in an attempt to continue their mission without raising suspicion.
In fact, serious questions have been raised about the identities of the
Sept. 11 "Arab hijackers."
While the media reported the ringleader's passport conveniently landed
atop rubble eight blocks from "Ground Zero," The Orlando Sentinel also
reported that at least four men identified as hijackers are not dead and
had nothing to do with the attacks.
In The New Yorker on Oct. 8, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh
pointed out:
Many of the investigators believe that some of the initial clues
about the terrorists' identities and preparations, such as flight
manuals, were meant to be found. A former high-level intelligence
official told me, "Whatever trail was left was left deliberately -- for
the FBI to chase."
Why Arabs would plant evidence implicating their own is a point
mainstream media chooses not to address.
Nor has the media ever ballyhooed the "hero" who tipped off the FBI
where the hijackers' car (conveniently filled with "evidence") was parked.
And for those who would doubt that Israel would endanger American Jews
via terrorism, consider this: hard-line Israelis are willing to kill Jews
if it means assuring Israel's survival.
The late Rabbi Meir Kahane -- founder of the Jewish Defense League and
one spiritual mentor of fundamentalists who support Ariel Sharon --
exemplifies those willing to sacrifice other Jews to guarantee Israel's
future.
Kahane called for killing "Hellenist [i.e. Western-oriented]
spiritually sick [Jews] who threaten the existence of Judaism." That would
include those working in slick offices in the World Trade Center, living
on Long Island, rather than kibbutzing in Israel.
Israeli journalist Yair Kotler reports in Heil Kahane that Kahane
wrote: "the adoption of foreign, gentilized [i.e. non-Jewish] concepts by
a Jewish state . . . opens the door to a national tragedy."
In his book, Time to Go Home, Kahane called for all Jews to "go
home" to Israel -- the only safe place for Jews. Those who refused to "go
home" were expendable. The CIA's 1979 report on Israeli intelligence says
this widely-held view mirrors "the aggressively ideological nature of
Zionism."
In fact, this Jewish attitude toward the West (exactly what the media
says is the Islamic attitude) has support at the Mossad's top levels.
Robert Friedman revealed that "high-ranking members of Mossad" were
directing Kahane and that the "central player" was former Mossad
operations chief (and later prime minister) Yitzhak Shamir, an outspoken
critic of America.
When Kahane said America would become "the major enemy of Israel," due
to "economic disintegration, which no administration can stem," he
enunciated a popular Israeli view.
In his Kahane biography, The False Prophet, Robert I. Friedman
noted that Kahane's beliefs "have taken root and have become
'respectable.' " and that Ariel Sharon is one of the "most potent
supporters" of such extremism.
In the Oct. 15 issue of The New Republic, Israeli writer Yossi
Klein Halevi echoed this view:
The destruction of the World Trade Center has partially rehabilitated,
if only by default, the Zionist promise of safe refuge for the Jewish
people.
In the last year, it had become a much-noted irony that Israel was the
country where a Jew was most likely to be killed for being a Jew. For
many, the United States had beckoned as the real Jewish refuge; in a poll
taken just before the bin Laden attacks, 37 percent of Israelis said their
friends or relatives were discussing emigration. That probably changed on
Sept. 11.
I was among the thousands of Israelis who crowded Kennedy Airport on
the weekend after the attack, desperate to find a flight to Tel Aviv. "At
least we're going back where it's safe," people joked.
Everyone seemed to have a story about an Israeli living in New York who
just barely escaped the devastation. If this could happen in Manhattan,
the reasoning went, you might as well take your chances at home.
What Halevi describes reflects the widespread ideology known as
"catastrophic Zionism" which rejects America, saying Israel is the only
safe Jewish refuge.
In The Ascendance of Israel's Radical Right Israeli scholar Ehud
Sprinzak found that these views are "a major school" of modern Israeli
thought.
Sprinzak described the Israeli movement, Sikarikin, which honors
ancient Jews who "conducted a systematic terror campaign against Jewish
moderates who were ready to come to terms with the Romans on questions of
religious purity." Israelis consider these terrorists "the symbolic
defenders of religious and nationalist purity."
Another popular rabbi, Israel Ariel, will risk massive loss of Jewish
lives to achieve the "elimination" of the Arab countries to guarantee
Israel's survival. The hawkish rabbi proclaims:
There is a ruling that a war is permitted as long as no more than
one-sixth of the nation be killed. And this was stated in relation to an
ordinary war, a fight between neighbors.
A war for Eretz Israel does not depend on the number of casualties.
The command is "Ase!" ("Do it!"), and you may be sure that the number of
casualties will thus be minimal.
As far as non-Jews, Sprinzak cites Rabbi David Bar-Haim who declares
the concept Jews and non-Jews are equals "stands in total contrast to the
Torah of Moses, and is derived from a total ignorance and an assimilation
of alien Western values."
Ben-Haim cites 10 religious authorities who "repeatedly proposed that
Gentiles are more beast than human," whereas, "only two authorities
recognize non-Jews as full human beings created in the image of God."
Bear in mind: these comments from supposed "allies" represent
widespread opinion in Israel's military and intelligence services.
Did Ariel Sharon help orchestrate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to
instigate all-out U.S. war against Israel's enemies? Don't discount it.
