Israelis Cheered on 9/11

Israelis – Not Muslims – Cheered in Jersey City on 9/11

In debunking Donald Trump’s big lie about Jersey City Muslims celebrating the destruction of the World Trade Center, the corporate media have told an even bigger lie of omission. There was, indeed, shameless cheering on the banks of the Hudson River on 9/11. But it was by young Israelis, as was widely reported at the time. Fourteen years later, corporate media are covering up for Israel – which makes them even bigger liars than Trump.

Israelis – Not Muslims – Cheered in Jersey City on 9/11

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford

“By making only a partial correction of Donald Trump’s prevarication, the corporate media were telling their own lie about what happened on 9/11.”
The corporate media don’t like Donald Trump. They used to like him a lot; in fact, Big Business Media are responsible for making this minor multi-millionaire into a household name. But Trump is on their hit list, nowadays, because the Republican presidential candidate insists on telling his own lies, rather than sticking to the list of official lies parroted by corporate media every minute of every day.
Donald Trump told a really “HUGE” – as he would put it – lie when he claimed to have watched thousands of Muslims cheering in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the World Trade Center came down on 9/11. Every corporate news outlet in the country rushed to debunk Trump’s fictitious account. The Washington Post offered psychological theories for why Trump gets away with telling fantastic lies. The New York Times said there was no evidence that Jersey City Muslims cheered the destruction on 9/11. CNN said it never happened. And, they were right.
However, by making only a partial correction of Donald Trump’s prevarication, the corporate media were telling their own lie about what happened on 9/11. There was, in fact, celebration in Jersey City on that fateful morning, and the incident did, briefly, make a major news splash. But the people doing the cheering weren’t Muslims: they were five young Israelis in a white moving van, who were observed in Liberty Park ecstatically taking pictures of themselves framed against the smoking ruins of the Twin Towers. As ABC News reported, the five were later arrested at gunpoint near the New Jersey Giants football stadium. Most U.S. intelligence sources believed the men were Israeli spies, and that their “moving company” was an Israeli intelligence cover. They were detained for a while, and then deported.
“Who is the biggest liar?”
In the year before 9/11 scores of young Israelis posing as “art students” were arrested after penetrating U.S. Defense Department and other classified sites. Both stories made national news. The corporate media could not have avoided running across articles on the “cheering Israelis” when they set about debunking Donald Trump’s “cheering Muslims” account. But, not one of them dare to mention that, yes, some people were seen celebrating 9/11 at Liberty State Park in Jersey City.
I was in a different part of the park on 9/11 morning, alone except for two young Israelis with very expensive cameras, carrying phony New Jersey press credentials, who claimed to be Polish but spoke Hebrew to each other. The two young men were giddy with joy at the destruction that the three of us were observing across the Hudson River.
Later that day, I learned from local and national news outlets about the five Israelis who were dancing with delight about a mile upriver from me and the two other Israelis. Articles about Israelis celebrating 9/11 would have come up in any search to correct Donald Trump’s tall tale – but the corporate media kept that part of the story from the public. They censored their own correction of Donald Trump. So, who is the biggest liar? Trump, who lies to advance his own personal interests, or the U.S. corporate media, who lie to the people on behalf of the State of Israel, and Zionism.

Bibi,Zig-Zag & PNAC re a New Pearl Harbor Event just before 9-11

Submitted by Nixakliel on 
} In 1996 when Netanyahu was running for Israeli PM, He released a book claiming the entire Arab world is a dangerous mass of terrorists & sooner or later the U.S. would experience a HUGE TERRORIST ATTACK which would help it understand that Israel is not fighting Palestinians because they want freedom from the occupation, but that [according to Bibi] Palestinians are a part of a global network of Worldwide Islamic Arab terrorists out to destroy Western civilization. {

} “The American people, with their democratic instincts, are reluctant to authorize the money and human sacrifices necessary for "imperial mobilization," and this refusal "limits . . . America's . . . capacity for MILITARY INTIMIDATION." But this impediment could be overcome if there were "a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat" ---just as the American people were willing to enter World War II only after "the shock effect of the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor.” { Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1997 book “The Grand Chessboard”

} ’Further, this process of transformation [of the military], even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.’ { PNAC / Neo-CON Sept 2000 Manifesto Rebuilding America’s Defenses Pg 51 - 1st para. 
Key PNACers: Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, ‘Scooter’ Libby, Doug Feith, Rich Perle, Bill Kristol, Rob Kagan [hubbie of Vicky Nuland], Don Kagan, Jeb Bush, John Bolton, Rich Armitage, Dan Pipes, Elliot Abrams, Dan Quale, etc…

The ‘Huge Terror Attack’ in the US [aka the ‘New Pearl Harbor’] that Bibi, Zig-Zag & PNAC called for happened on Sept 11, 2001 almost exactly 1 yr after the release of the Neo-CON’s PNAC manifesto!

This PNAC Doc called for: Establishing 4 Core Missions for U.S. military forces:
1} defend the American homeland [prelude to the Dept of Homeland Security];
2} fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars [w Russia & China];
3} perform the “constabulary” duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions; [IE: US military interventions around the World in combo w NATO & the roll-out of AFRICOM- leading to the 'regime-change destructions of Iraq & Libya & now this attempt to do so again in Syria ]
4} transform U.S. forces to exploit the “revolution in military affairs;” = 'the process of transformation' of the US military

To carry out these core missions, we need to provide sufficient force and budgetary allocations. In particular, the United States must:
MAINTAIN NUCLEAR STRATEGIC SUPERIORITY, basing the U.S. nuclear deterrent upon a global, nuclear net assessment that weighs the full range of current and emerging threats, not merely the U.S.-Russia balance. [thus the hype re: Iran’s {non}Nuke Weapons Prog]
RESTORE THE PERSONNEL STRENGTH of today’s force to roughly the levels anticipated in the “Base Force” outlined by the Bush Administration, an increase in active-duty strength from 1.4 million to 1.6 million.
REPOSITION U.S. FORCES to respond to 21st century strategic realities by shifting permanently-based forces to Southeast Europe and Southeast Asia, and by changing naval deployment patterns to reflect growing U.S. strategic concerns in East Asia. [= the ‘Asia Pivot’]
MODERNIZE CURRENT U.S. FORCES SELECTIVELY, proceeding with the F-22 program while increasing purchases of lift, electronic support and other aircraft; expanding submarine and surface combatant fleets; purchasing Comanche helicopters and medium-weight ground vehicles for the Army, and the V-22 Osprey “tilt-rotor” aircraft for the Marine Corps.
DEVELOP AND DEPLOY GLOBAL MISSILE DEFENSES to defend the American homeland and American allies, and to provide a secure basis for U.S. power projection around the world. [So that missile defense shield ain't really about 'defense' against Iran's non-Nuke non-ICBM missiles at-all- It's really about projecting US power for intimidation & FULL Spectrum Dominance] 
CONTROL THE NEW “INTERNATIONAL COMMONS” OF SPACE AND “CYBERSPACE,” and pave the way for the creation of a new military service – U.S. Space Forces – with the mission of space control.
EXPLOIT THE “REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS” to insure the long-term superiority of U.S. conventional forces. Establish a two-stage transformation process which maximizes the value of current weapons systems through the application of advanced technologies, and, produces more profound improvements in military capabilities, encourages competition between single services and joint-service experimentation efforts.
INCREASE DEFENSE [= military] SPENDING gradually to a minimum level of 3.5 to 3.8 % of gross domestic product, adding $15 billion to $20 billion to total defense spending annually.

[Thus this PNAC manifesto called for a strategy of FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE! Including trying to encircle & intimidate Russia & China]
