I haven't looked up all your links and gone to the websites to read the material, but this is not new territory to me and I get your drift.
There is no question that Israel was a major beneficiary of 9/11.
Even when I was a staunch Bush supporter, post 9/11 and thought the US should get over there as quick as possible and rag-doll every "m-effer" in
sight, I still remember being slightly annoyed at Ariel Sharon's body language when he was on TV expressing his crocodile condolences for America's
misfortune. I thought the body language was expressing delight.
And of course the reason for the delight (quick inset shot of the dancing Israelis high-fiving one another) is that now there was a chance that
Israeli misery would get some muscular American military company and maybe something could be done about Arab terrorism. That's all completely
obvious.
But did the Israelis perform the attack on 9/11?
That is a trickier question. I don't believe they did, in the sense that I don't believe that this was an Israeli government policy initiative,
carried out at the behest of the Israeli government by agents of influence within the Bush administration.
To get into the depths of this question you have to ask yourself another important and seldom asked question.
Who benefits most from the continued existence of the state of Israel?
Unquestionably it is the United States of America, if for no other reason than that Israel is the biggest unsinkable aircraft carrier in the eastern
Mediterranean. It is the one state in the region hooked on the heroin of US support. When one acknowledges this, many other questions, including ones
surrounding 9/11 issues take on a different coloring.
In a certain sense, one could legitimately say that Israel has been taking a s!#t-kicking in the interests of US foreign policy for decades. I for one
can understand how they might be overjoyed at the prospect of Uncle Sam doing a little more (than holding their coat) while they duke it out with all
comers in the neighborhood.
But having said all that, there is no doubt that Israel is a problematic country. Personally, I agree with Howard Stern, when he said on his radio
program that Israel should be moved to Arizona. But that's too much common sense for this world.
