1. "Some 60 Israelis, who federal investigators have said are part of a long-running effort to spy on American government officials."
Not true. No such investigators made no such remarks. The 60 are were held for immigration violations.
2. “The Israelis, a handful of whom are described as active Israeli military or intelligence operatives, have been detained on immigration charges or under the new Patriot Anti-Terrorism Law”
This a contradiction of the prior paragraph. Now he says that only a “handful” are “described as active Israeli military “. Note that the person doing the “describing” is never identified.
3. “There is no indication the Israelis were involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, but investigators suspect that they may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance and not shared it.”
Who are these “investigators”. Do they really exist? Are they Fox investigators, government, or imaginary?? Why is the government branch identified? They don't exist, that's why.
4. “A highly placed investigator told Fox News there are "tie-ins," but when asked for details flatly refused to describe them”
Again a non identified investigator (who ever it is) putting out an innuendo. Without an iota of truth or facts to back it up.
5. “But Fox News has learned that one group of Israelis spotted in North Carolina recently is suspected of keeping an apartment in California to spy on a group of Arabs who the U.S. authorities are investigating for links to terrorism”
Spotted by whom? Another rumor. If this is true how does it suggest spying on American targets?
6. “Numerous classified documents obtained by Fox News indicate that even prior to Sept. 11, as many as 140 other Israelis had been detained or arrested in a secretive and sprawling investigation into suspected espionage by Israelis in the United States”
How does FOX News get “numerous” classified documents. Is this not a scandal if true? How come that not a single media source in this country is able to corroborate these charges, and that no indictments or arrests have been recorded? This is highly suggestive of a malicious fabrication.
7. “Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a working group that has been compiling evidence in the case since the mid-1990s. These documents detail hundreds of incidents in cities and towns across the country that investigators say quote "may well be an organized intelligence-gathering activity."”
”detail hundreds of incidents in cities and towns across the country.” Has even one been published at any time in any place. I believe not.
Investigators from ”numerous” government agencies.
Why would "numerous" agencies be involved in domestic spying. Nonsense.
”investigators say quote ” may well be an organized intelligence-gathering activity."
Well well well. Do the investigators speak in unison to FOX news so their remarks can be put within a quotation sign.
“May well” doesn’t ring like a factual statement after several years of an alleged investigation.
I can go on and on to unravel this type of Goebbel-like propaganda piece based on lies, fabrications, rumors and inuendos.
Unfortunatly, the American public that has been trained since birth to accept whatever they hear on the TV as the truth, is incapable of reading and analyzing it for themselves.
Yes dear jackbill Avis really does tries harder.
Look, why don't you come right out and state that you think Fox News and its editors are Nazis?
You're implying this about everyone else who are addressing this article in a manner not to your preference.
And as someone who is pro-Israel and its right to exist, may I say it's getting downright embarrassing?
