People Around the World Watch in Horror By The Associated Press
Sept. 11, 2001

LONDON -- People around the world watched in horror as images of terror in the United States filled their television screens Tuesday. On the West Bank, Palestinians celebrated but most world leaders expressed solidarity with an America that looked more vulnerable than ever.

Iraqi television played a patriotic song that begins "Down with America!" as it showed the World Trade Center's towers falling.

It has been reported that Palestinians are celebrating in the streets.

Thousands of Palestinians celebrated the terror attacks in the United States, chanting "God is Great" and distributing candy to passers-by, even as their leader, Yasser Arafat, said he was horrified.

The U.S. government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank and

Gaza Strip in the past year of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, with many Palestinians accusing Washington of siding with Israel.

In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and government targets in Washington.

Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration.

Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried

Palestinian flags.

Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long, black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy...

Her daughter Maysoon, 22, said she hoped the next attack would be launched against Tel Aviv.

In traditionally Arab east Jerusalem, there was a smaller gathering of about two dozen people, many of them young children led in chants by adults. Some drivers passing the scene honked their horns and flashed victory signs from their windows

Bin-Laden Poster Seen at Gaza Rally

The Associated Press
Friday, Sept. 14, 2001; 6:09 p.m. EDT

JERUSALEM –– About 1,500 Palestinians, many supporters of the Islamic militant group Hamas, marched in a Gaza Strip refugee camp on Friday, burning Israeli flags and carrying a large poster of Osama bin Laden, who has been named as a key suspect in this week's terror attacks in the United States.

After the rally, plainclothes Palestinian policemen questioned several journalists, including staffers of foreign news agencies, and confiscated videotape and film as well as camera equipment. An Associated Press Television News video was among the materials taken, and an AP photographer was warned by officials not to publish pictures of the bin-Laden poster.

AP protested and demanded return of the video and other material.

The journalists were told police would review the material before deciding whether to release it.

Officials of Yasser Arafat's self-rule government refused to comment on the record and did not respond immediately to AP's protest.

Jerusalem Post (14:00) Report: Armed Palestinians threatened photojournalists

Reports indicate armed Palestinians trapped foreign photojournalists inside a Nablus hotel late yesterday while thousands took to the streets in celebration of the terror attacks in the United States.

The journalists were reportedly forced to remain confined in the hotel, guarded by armed Palestinians - both in uniform and wearing civilian clothes - while the festivities continued in the streets. At least one photographer who did manage to capture images of the celebrations was told his life would be in danger if the pictures were eventually published.

JERUSALEM (September 16) - About 1,500 Palestinians, many supporters of Hamas, marched in a Gaza Strip refugee camp Friday, burning Israeli flags and carrying a large poster of Osama bin Laden, an exiled Saudi millionaire who US Secretary of State Colin Powell has named a key suspect in last week's terror attacks in the United States.

After the rally, plainclothes Palestinian policemen questioned several journalists, including members of foreign news agencies, and confiscated videotape, film, and other camera equipment.

An Associated Press Television News video was among the materials taken, and an AP photographer was warned by officials not to publish pictures of the bin Laden poster. AP protested and demanded the return of the video and other material.

The journalists were told police would review the material before deciding whether or not to release it. Palestinian Authority officials refused to comment on the record and did not respond immediately to AP's protest. The Palestinian Police said in a statement that the rally in the Nusseirat refugee camp took place without a permit. "The Palestinian Police confiscated media material which documented illegal acts," the statement said.

Earlier last week, Palestinian Police stopped camera teams and photographers from covering a rally in Nablus in which several thousand Palestinians celebrated the attacks in the US. Palestinian officials said the demonstration did not represent widespread Palestinian opinion.

According to one source, the Reuters correspondent in Nablus not only agreed to the PA demand not to document the rally, but attempted to press his AP counterpart to follow suit. He was unable to reach him in time. The AP cameraman later received death threats.

AP protests threats to freelance camerman who filmed Palestinian rally
Associated Press | September 12, 2001

JERUSALEM (AP) - The Associated Press on Wednesday protested to the Palestinian Authority about threats against a freelance camerman who filmed Palestinians celebrating terror attacks in the United States.

The videographer, on assignment for Associated Press Television News, was summoned to a Palestinian Authority security office and told that the material must not be aired. Calls in the name of the Tanzim militia, an armed group associated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah group, warned him he would be held responsible and made what he interpreted as threats on his life.

Several Palestinian Authority officials spoke to AP in Jerusalem urging that the material not be broadcast. Ahmed Abdel Rahman, Arafat's Cabinet secretary, said the Palestinian Authority "cannot guarantee the life" of the cameraman if the footage was broadcast.

The cameraman then requested that the material not be aired. In light of the danger, APTN has not released the footage of the rally in Nablus.

AP news stories reported worldwide on the demonstration in Nablus and AP distributed still pictures and video of similar rallies in east Jerusalem, Lebanon and elsewhere. An AP still photographer did not take pictures of the Nablus rally after being warned at the scene not to do so.

The protest by AP Chief of Bureau Dan Perry said, "I ask the assurances of the Palestinian Authority that you will protect our journalists from threats and attempts at intimidation and that no harm would come to our freelance cameraman from distribution of the film."

The scum media narrative as we were still digging through the rubble was that America is Islamophobic and the reports that the scumbag muzzlitards were celebrating was false.

Patriotic, rational, decent Americans have to face some cruel realities. Since the Hostage taking in 1979 and the 9/11 attack, the jidadists are right to be pleased with their efforts. Since that time Americans have been conditioned to believe that any criticism or suspicion of Islam is wrong and inherently racist. Within eight years of 9/11, a man with deep Islamic roots was elected President. Since 1979 tens of millions of Muslims have been allowed to settle in this country. Truly to a non vested observer, America is not only being transformed but is commiting cultural suicide. Yet this could not have happened without the acquiescence of those who wish to transform America into a pliable cog to fit their goal of a socialist world government controlled by like minded elites.

“Any video?”

___

September 11, 2016

Actual footage of some Palestinians celebrating at the sight of the 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States in 2001.

This footage was shown on CNN, MSNBC and FOX News on 9/11/01.

Still today, there are voices in Palestinian society who repeatedly embrace and praise terrorism - and it’s not exclusive to the Palestinian communities. There are voices of extremism throughout the Middle East who praise and celebrate terrorism against Western countries.

If we are ever to defeat the plague of terrorism we must expose and speak out against not only hate, but the celebration of hate.

Some right here on FR challenged the very notion of Palestinians dancing in the streets and on rood tops in NJ. Yet, and very oddly, many of us can remember seeing those images on TV at the time. Because we had no links to offer these people, we were scorned and called names.

So far the a score is :

US (counting 9/11 dead) is roughly 7,000 ;

Muslims (according to one jihadi wanna be) 900,000.

They live in an imaginary world of ignorance. And the mainstream media does a good job of filtering everything they hear to reinforce their illusion of a world where socialism solves everything.

Palestinians celebrate at Damascus Gate
AP Archive, Jul 30, 2015

(11 Sep 2001) Jerusalem, Damascus Gate place to enter the Old City of Jerusalem.
1. Various of adults and children celebrating in the street
2. Shop owner giving out celebratory cakes
3. Various of trucks driving past waving, beeping and saluting in celebration

STORYLINE: There were celebrations at Jerusalem's Damascus Gate, following the attacks on the Trade Centre and the Pentagon. Palestinian men, women and children chanted in jubilation after terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center causing them to collapse on Tuesday morning.
Within the hour, an aircraft crashed on a helicopter landing pad near the Pentagon, and the White House, the Defense Department and the Capitol were evacuated.
It was not immediately known how many people were killed.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat called the attack a "terrible incident," sending his condolences to the people of the United States. Authorities had been trying to evacuate those who work in the twin towers, but many were thought to be trapped.
About 50-thousand people work at the Trade Center.

“If anyone has a video or a media report showing this, please bring it up, and it will be evidence against those groups, not all Muslims,” said Imam Kamal El-Sayegh, the spiritual leader at Masjid Al-Salam. “Our children and grandchildren are here in this country. We don’t want to destroy it. We want to keep it safe.”


Of course, they also know and practice Taqiya.

Then again it must have been my lying eyes as I watched them dancing and cheering as the camera panned across the river to the burning towers. Like newspaper stories that get round filed, and websites that get scrubbed, so do video clips meet the dumpster.

I can personally recite several stories (on other subjects) that the reporter’s efforts met the editors round file fling - why would TV footage be any different, especially as there was a huge effort then to keep the notion that Islam was a religion of peace and its practitioners the salt of the Earth? Now long after the footage was destroyed they can honestly claim there is no evidence or links. We must believe what they say, like good sheep, no matter what we saw on 9/11.

WP and others chose to attack Trump because they picked on what he mentioned that the celebrations by Muslims on 9/11 was in NJ, by the thousands.

It appears that some Muslims did applaud it in NJ ( https://www.nj.com/news/2015/12/exclusive_jersey_city_cop_residents_say_some_musli.html ) but the ‘thousands’ were among Palestinian-Arabs. Such as the 3,000 in Nablus ( https://wc.arizona.edu/papers/95/17/05_4_m.html ) and 1,500 in Gaza ( http://web.archive.org/web/20010915160506/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/aponline/20010914/aponline180932_000.htm ) , plus in Lebanon too.

On 9/12/2001, the Muslim hellhole majority nations should have ceased to exist via nuclear weapons. Nuke 'em, plant the flag, let China and the EU know what the new price of oil is going to be.
