Before anyone screams "Anti-Semite!" we should consider a few facts from recent history:
2) Two hours prior to the Spetember 11 attacks, two employees of a company in Israel received anonymous "instant messages" which told of the pending attacks. ?The employees told Israeli police about the messages, but Israel never sent word to the US until AFTER the planes crashed.
This wasn’t true – internet myth.
3) In the days immediately after the attacks of 9-11, it was widely reported in Arab newspapers that 4,000 Israeli nationals "called-out-sick" from the World Trade Center on the day of the attacks. ?This claim was angrily denounced by the Israeli government. ?No less than President Bush himself proclaimed to a joint session of Congress that 113 Israelis died in the attacks. Days later, it was revealed by various New York newspapers that only 13 Israelis died. ?13. . . . .out of ?3,000 dead. . . . . in buildings housing the worlds largest banking, securities and international trading firms -- industries renouned for Jewish participation???
This also wasn’t true – but more to the point – not all Jews are Israelis. Why not tell me how many Jews died that morning, not how many Israelis.
