Israel Says All Its Information Came After the Blast

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israel's Finance Minister and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on his way to address British businessmen at a London hotel when the first bomb exploded in a nearby London Underground station Thursday morning.

Israel denies reports that Netanyahu had received advance information about the attacks and was warned to stay away before the blasts happened.

Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev dismissed those reports as "rubbish."

Regev said he wanted to make it unequivocally clear: "All our information was afterwards."

Netanyahu's advisor Amir Gilad explained what had happened in a radio interview.

"We were exactly on our way to the hotel [located over a subway station -- the first one to blow up-, Gilad said.

"We were asked by the British security sources not to arrive at the hotel. Still it was not clear what was happening. We stayed in the hotel where we were guests," Gilad said.

Netanyahu was due to open a large conference at the time of the explosion, Gilad added.

"Now we are receiving updates all morning from British security sources that are speaking about terror attacks in the underground train and also in buses throughout the city," he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had no immediate comment on the attack on London.

Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said that Israel was standing with the British at this time, and he said that Israel has long warned that terrorism is not only a problem for Israel but for the entire Western world.

"Terrorism can attack every country in the world that has the ideology of freedom, of democracy," Shalom said in a radio interview.

I knew it wouldn't be long before the "Israel knew" chants commenced.

....to be followed shortly by "Israel did it", no doubt.

By saying that Israel knew beforehand, the ragheads can claim it was Israel who carried out the attacks even though an Islamic terror site has a group of inhuman beasts taking credit just as they did with the Madrid Bombings.

More blood libel. Someone crawls out from a rock after every disaster, claiming the Joos knew about if beforehand.

The "Bush and Blair knew" chants have been going on all morning.

To be followed by, "Bush knew" on the Senate floor by Uncle Teddy.

Did you ever hear a theory that I found very thought provoking? That 9/11 was scheduled to be a week later on 9/18 but they had to bring it up up due to circumstances.

Why would it be interesting if it occurred on 9/18?

Immediately after the attack, a news story surfaced that Jews had stayed home on the day of the attack- with the implication that they knew ahead of time. The story release in Lebanon came immediately after the attack. Pre-prepared it seems.

Well guess what, if the attack had been on 9/18, many Jews would have stayed away from work and the WTC on that day.

Sept 18, 2001 was the first day of Rosh Hashana.

There would have been absolute proof of Jews staying away (ie knowing in advance) for those not understanding the significance of Rosh Hashana.

I am starting to feel this way more an more.
I seee less and less the point of debating with individuals defending the jihadists or helping their cause by attacking the troops.

Yes. Most of the British newspapers will be running the same conspiracy theory shortly. But because they want to hide their pro-"Palestinian" sentiments from the USA, we are not allowed to post from most of their publications.

That's quite an interesting hypothesis. Next step would then be to think about what could have forced the hijackers to go early.

Could it have to do with the anthrax letters? Accidental contagion?

Forgotten about that....

Do you remember the date he was arrested?

Thanks

Within a month, I believe.

Just time for them to speed up the plans if they were committed to going forward.
