Fact or Fiction? Did Israel know about/involved in the September 11, 2001 WTC Attacks?

FEMA was not in NYC prior to the 9/11 attacks. That has been debunked.

Have you ever bothered to look at the evidence?

If it had been 100+ Russian spies who entered the US and fronting out of a moving company in New Jersey we'd be blaming them, but it wasn't, it was 100+ Israelis.

I doubt it and his reaction, facial expressions and body language on video goes a long way to prove he wasn't aware.

The conspiracy was in play before Bush even announced his candidacy. It would be a small group of maybe 6-9 people who were in positions of power and authority and had fanatical supporters, and they would be linked somehow.

They had no need for Bush.

Before March 9, 1999 when Bush announced an exploratory committee to consider running for president, they had already used their influence to convince the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to place the WTC assets for bid in 1999 instead of the planned 2004.

Before Bush was nominated, they had already recruited Silverstein to bid on the WTC.

They had already used their friendships, power and authority to conduct an extensive background investigation all persons/groups who bid on the WTC.

They used that information obtained from their background investigation to force the winning bidders to inexplicably renounce their winning bid.

They had already used their influence to schedule the military training exercises, and to review and re-write the air interception protocols.

There's nothing Bush would have been needed for. His response to the attack would have been predictable, and that's largely what they were counting on.

OK, so Israel conspired with Osama, and I guess they hired those pilots as contractors...

Sometimes, it seems to me that folks start with a conclusion, and then search (or create) "facts" to validate this conclusion.

At least it created a business for "junk blogs", commerce is commerce!

I would say Israel knew something was up but not necessarily the exact details. We had similar warnings as did most intelligence agencies around the world. The chatter was through the roof but again I don't believe anyone knew the exacts.

That's a reasonable take on the situation, of course this could have been an ongoing concern, and not specific to this date.

I will not deny anything and will look at the facts... but I have yet to see truly convincing evidence that Israel was "involved" in 9/11.

Technically, Bush knew about the threats from 9/11 too, so you could also say WE knew about it.

OEM is the Office of Emergency Management and it coordinates activities with FEMA. OEM has FEMA representatives on staff. OEM also has agents from the FBI on staff. OEM was running a biological warfare exercise and FEMA and FBI personnel were present in the OEM command center in WTC 7 on 9-11.
