As it turns out, at least 4000 Israelis were 'supposed' to be

reported on 9/12. This is a matter of public record.
What they reported was that 4000 Israelis were believed to be in the
_vicinity_ of the WTC at the time of the disaster.

Of course you can't believe the latter reference because it's from our

Thank you, Terry.
There is an unbelievable amount of anti-semitic garbage on the web ...
so much so that a plausible first reaction on seeing a surprising report
that makes Israel look bad is to ask where the information came from,
and then check references to see if the original data were actually what
was claimed.
If it's anti-semitic in slant _and_ it's a "conspiracy-theory" story one
should proceed with extreme caution.
