A massive Mossad spy ring which was tracking Arab terrorists was discovered a few months prior to 9/11. Many of the agents were located in areas where the hijackers were. One lived a block or two from Atta. What were they doing there? We won't know for decades because the documents regarding it are classified and the media immediately dropped the story. However, if the vaunted Mossad, which was there to track terrorists, was so close to the 9/11 hijackers and didn't know what they were doing, its prowess has greatly been exagerrated. If Israel has clean hands, it should ask Shrub to release those documents and put an end to the rumors.
Israel conducted a terrorist attack on America in 1954, with the aim of blaming the Arabs (Lavon Affair), which would help it vis-a-vis the Arabs, and according to a former Mossad agent who wrote a book on the agency, knew about the terrorist attack on the Marine barracks in Lebanon but didn't warn Washington because it would help it vis-a-vis the Arabs. So we have a history here of an alleged ally killing Americans for its own interests. Israel knowing about 9/11 and not warning Shrub is not out of the question.
I guess all these outlets are part of the vast Arab conspiracy to get Israel:
http://www.antiwar.com/israelfiles2.htmlYou also have two instant messages sent to Israel two hours BEFORE 9/11. There were also Mossad agents celebrating the 9/11 attacks on a NYC rooftop. These aren't anti-Semitic myths. These are confirmed reports that were swept under the rug (like the stories linking the Saudis and Pakistan's ISI to 9/11) in favor of the official story.

<INSTANT MESSAGE
Then there was the story about the two employees of the Odigo Company, an Israeli-based "instant-messaging" software company, with New York offices in the vicinity of the WTC, who received messages in the hours before disaster struck that the World Trade Center would be hit. I was so skeptical of this report, published in Ha'aretz, an Israeli daily newspaper, that I wrote the author: he confirmed the contents of these mysterious missives and cited his sources. In this context, the Washington Post story fit into an eerie pattern: it was not the final but the definitive piece of the puzzle: the piece that, once found and put in place, evokes an exclamation of "so that's what it is!" I was alone, at the time, in raising the possibility of an Israeli angle to the story of 9/11 v but not for long. >
Haaretz itself reported about the instant messages. It is comical to see the same newspaper denounce a British paper for saying that Israel knew about the attacks. The instant messages are one step away from being "smoking guns". However, we do not know who sent them. They could have been sent by the hijackers in an attempt to frame Israel. Nonetheless, the fact that this bombshell has been swept under the rug by the media and politicians is simply astonishing.

<A TRAIL OF CLUES
The suggestion of an Israeli connection to the events surrounding 9/11 did not spring, full blown, like Minerva from the head of Zeus. It had been hovering in the background, implied in odd accounts such as the one about the group of Israelis picked by the FBI after they were spotted in Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, laughing and giving each other high-fives as the World Trade Center burned on the other side of the river. In an astonishing story in the Bergen Record, we learn that 5 men described as "Israeli tourists," were picked up 8 hours after the WTC attack, "carrying maps linking them to the blasts." "Sources close to the investigation said they found other evidence linking the men to the bombing plot. "There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted," the source said. "It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like Park."According to this account, the 5 "tourists" had been picked up by local police after receiving the following alert from the FBI:
"Vehicle possibly related to New York terrorist attack. White, 2000 Chevrolet van with New Jersey registration with 'Urban Moving Systems' sign on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, they knew what was going to happen when they were at Liberty State at the time of first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center. Three individuals with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion. FBI Newark Field Office requests that, if the van is located, hold for prints and detain individuals." >
Here is more about the "tourists":
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/2020/DailyNews/2020_whitevan_020621.html<Maria says she saw three young men kneeling on the roof of a white van in the parking lot of her apartment building. "They seemed to be taking a movie," Maria said.
The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said.
The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens.
"We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.">
Two of them were allegedly Mossad agents:
http://ww1.sundayherald.com/37707<Who do you think they were? Palestinians? Saudis? Iraqis, even? Al-Qaeda, surely? Wrong on all counts. They were Israelis – and at least two of them were Israeli intelligence agents, working for Mossad, the equivalent of MI6 or the CIA.
Their discovery and arrest that morning is a matter of indisputable fact. To those who have investigated just what the Israelis were up to that day, the case raises one dreadful possibility: that Israeli intelligence had been shadowing the al-Qaeda hijackers as they moved from the Middle East through Europe and into America where they trained as pilots and prepared to suicide-bomb the symbolic heart of the United States. And the motive? To bind America in blood and mutual suffering to the Israeli cause.
The respected New York Jewish newspaper, The Forward, reported in March 2002, however, that it had received a briefing on the case of the five Israelis from a US official who was regularly updated by law enforcement agencies. This is what he told The Forward: “The assessment was that Urban Moving Systems was a front for the Mossad and operatives employed by it.” He added that “the conclusion of the FBI was that they were spying on local Arabs”, but the men were released because they “did not know anything about 9/11”.
Back in Israel, several of the men discussed what happened on an Israeli talk show. One of them made this remarkable comment: “The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country that experiences terror daily. Our purpose was to document the event.” But how can you document an event unless you know it is going to happen?>
