Did Israeli Intelligence know about the September 11 attack beforehand?

Foxnews | December 11, 2001

The Foxnews ticker at the bottom of the screen is reporting that Israeli intelligence may have known about the September 11 attacks beforehand and yet didn't tell the U.S. Anyone have a link to this story so I can peruse it myself? I seriously doubt the legitimacy of the claim, but I would have to withhold judgment until I read the story itself.

Yes, they knew an attack would help Israel...but, don't think they are crazy enough to risk us finding out about it.

I recall a NYPost article where a Brooklyn school kid (Islamic) said to one of his classmates, "See those towers? They won't be there tomorrow". Sorry for the lack of link. In those days, so much was happening, that I didn't save every issue. But I do have some, and I will review them.

OH-OH-'KKK' (CROSS BURNER) ALERT!!!!!!

[Dec31,1999]

The only thing I can say is that I thought it odd that many more hadn't been sacrificed. The towers held at least 40K people when full on a busy business day. Of course the time of the first attack was a bit early. But then, why was that? Poor planning or the beneficience of Allah?

THINK ABOUT IT. Why on Earth would Israel not tell us. Makes no sense. Like us, they get zillions of threats ... if they did get it, they must not have thought it was legit.

Check this out. Did Jeb Bush know about the attacks on Sept. 7th?

Excerpt from here RE EXEC ORDER #2001-261.

. "Section 6.

This Executive Order shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of its revocation or June 30, 2003.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the Great Seal of the State of Florida to be affixed at Tallahassee, the Capitol, this 7th day of September 2001."

More importantly, what if they did tell us?!!!!!!!!!

See post #31. Jeb Bush declared Marshal Law in Florida on the 7th of Sept. 4 days before the WTC attacks.

Well I think it's irresponsible of Fox to report something like this in that manner. IMHO something like that (if it were real) would be a huge story, breaking news, they wouldn't report it like that; that's why I don't think it's real.

If it were true, it would certainly affect the way I look at the Israeli government, but I sincerely, sincerely doubt that it is true.

Saw the 12am repeat of Brit Hume's Fox News Special Report. This story was an eye opener. And part of a "four part series" I believe he said.

The reporter is Carl Cameron.

I'd post a link but can't find anything on the foxnews site about this story.

It was a lot more than just a blip on the ticker. Brit Hume started with a reference to Pollard. Some outrageous stuff: they put up a map of the USA and marked 10? 20? states with suspected Israeli intelligence operative groups. They listed just about every major govt agency as being "targeted" by these groups. They gave a description of one group as posing as "art students". Another was selling toys at malls nationwide. Foxnews called the toy operation a "front". Apparently the company closed all of its mall "kiosks" fast and put up an excuse on their website. I can't remember the address. Fox showed the site and quoted from it.

Carl Cameron quoted from several sources various what I would call fairly outrageous accusations. Think the title of this thread is misleading. The real gist of the story was the existence of a very aggressive coordinated nationwide network of foreign intelligence agents.

There was mention at least twice I believe that in CA the Israelis were spying on Arab groups. This was a relief. But the other parts of the story were about US agencies being targeted. A long list!

Seems Foxnews is the most pro-Israel news on TV. Especially Brit Hume's show. That's why this was more of a shock. Think these are the last people in the media who are going to spread wild rumors about the Israelis.

As grownups we gotta recognize allies spy on each other. It's part of the game but this story pissed me off! I will tune in tomorrow and see what part II says.

Israel has always shared intelligence with the US. Something's off here.

An American-Israeli shipping company with offices in the WTC moved to new quarters in Norfolk, Virginia on September 1. You figure it out.

I discovered that one in a Wall Street Journal graphic up after the attacks which listed all the tenants in the WTC, their square footage, amount of employees, etc.

There was a story at the end of August on various internet news services saying that the jihadists had something big planned. It was hardly secret as friends of mine retrurning from Tokyo said that security was much heavier returning home than going there.

When the "spinners" get to this it should be a sight to see!
……FOX is owned by a Saudi Prince
……FOX is a left-wing pro-Arab network
……Brit Hume is a front for David Duke
……Brit Hume has sold out to the Hollywood lefties
…… Fake! Fake! …… No source - No source ……
It'll be fun to watch! ……:-)
