Israeli Ambassador Admits Rogue Operations, Spying And Worse

(Incidentally it seems that maybe GG was a bit too zealous in immediately cutting of callers who started to mentioned that no Israelis were killed in the Twin Towers, because as mentioned in the article ( & linked to Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_September_11_attacks), it is truly very odd that there were no Israelis killed).

That Site has loads of interesting other articles, such as;

So it is worth exploring.

'President Moshe Katsav, US Ambassador Dan Kurtzer, Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert, the families of five Israelis killed on September 11, and others gathered outside the Israel Museum in Jerusalem yesterday to remember the nearly 3,000 who died in the attacks a year ago.

The family of Alona Avraham, 30, who was on the ill-fated United Airlines flight 175 traveling from Boston to Los Angeles, came from Ashdod with large photographs of her pinned to their clothing with the inscription "Alona, we remember you." The photograph is especially important to them, because her remains were never recovered.

Also in attendance were the families of Daniel Lewin, 31, who was on board American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles, which crashed into the north tower, Shai Levinhar, 29, who worked for a subsidiary of the Cantor Fitzgerald brokerage in the north tower, and Hagai Shefi, 34, who was on the 106th floor of the north tower when American Airlines Flight 11 hit. The fifth Israeli killed, London-born Leon Lebor, 51, was working at his job as a janitor in the twin towers when they were attacked. '

maybe they're not listed as israeli on that wiki page because they had dual american/israeli citizenship - and they're just listed as american? in fact that wiki page does say 'not accounting for at least some cases of dual-citizenship'

Thanks for that Luke; as I implied before, I find it very hard to believe that no Israelis were amongst the victims, especially if the article is right that "many were employed in the World Trade Center, the largest group of foreign passport holders by far". A strange claim, but maybe not if we remember that in business/politics/media etc, Jews in general are way over represented proportionally, so you're probably right with the dual-nationality explanation for the discrepancy.

If the Israelis are stating that five died, it is still perhaps a strangely low number?

Maybe most of the companies the Israelis worked for were on lower floors? I'm just guessing...
