So far nothing you said would give you that idea. You also said you are an architect and engineer and a chemist. Now a linguist too. Congrats on your well rounded education.
After listening to the expert, tell us if you have not been hoisted by your own "linguistic overcompensation" petard in this case.

The recording, which was played as part of the official 9/11 Commission investigation, is of a native Hebrew speaker speaking English with a rather strong Hebrew accent.
If you want to confirm this for yourself simply find on the internet a few examples of Hebrew speakers and a few examples of Arabic speakers and listen to each of them.
Hebrew and Arabic are Semitic languages but the accent of a Hebrew speaker in English is not similar at all to the accent of a native Arabic speaker in English.
For example, there is no "P" sound in Arabic. Arabic speakers will normally substitiute the sound of the letter "B" for "P".
In this case the man clearly uses a "P" sound when he says "planes".
You may or may not like the fact that the voice indicates a Hebrew accent but it clearly does and no honest linguist or person familiar with Arabic and Hebrew would ever say this recording was anything other than a Hebrew speaker speaking English.
PS - there is no trace of a German accent in this recording so the official story as to whom the voice belongs is not supported by this recording.
It shows that whoever the hijacker was, he's particular about English language. That's funny.

i didn't take the time to read all the posts, but i am 100% sure that is not a hebrew accent. I am a jewish american that has been taught hebrew for 12 years through private school and been around hundreds of israelis, many americans who moved to israel and speak fluent hebrew, arabs who speak fluent hebrew, and all kids of hebrew speakers. never have i heard an accent like that. sounds to me like an indian type accent. i also did a project on sikhism at one point, that also sounds like the accent of the sikh people i studied with.

Here you do it again. You are telling me that you were born in London and you add an extra space before a question mark? Do you have an explanation for that? I can't imagine a native English "writer" doing that.

It'a a fair cop mate. He's got you dead to rights Alfie. You defiantly type with a jewish accent.
Are you going to give up the ruse and confess ?
