In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, rumors circulated about a group of Middle Eastern men seen near New York City. This led to speculation about Israeli espionage on US soil. A witness reported seeing three men on top of a van taking pictures with the burning Twin Towers in the background. The police later stopped the van and arrested five Israeli men. Some of them were connected to Israeli intelligence, which raised concerns at the FBI. The FBI wanted to know who these men were, why they were in that parking lot on September 11, and if they had prior knowledge of the attacks. The men claimed they were just taking pictures and worked for a company called Urban Moving. The company's offices were later abandoned, leaving behind boxes and computers. The Israelis were interrogated and given lie detector tests. While opinions differ, many investigators believe that the men were involved in some form of intelligence work.

An investigation revealed Israeli spies may have had advanced knowledge of 9/11 but did not share it. Over 60 Israelis were detained post-9/11, some with military backgrounds and intelligence expertise. Reports of an Israeli spying ring and wiretapping operations surfaced. Despite suspicions, evidence linking Israelis to 9/11 remains classified. The story was reported by Fox News but later removed. Israeli officials denied any wrongdoing. The issue was not pursued further by mainstream media. The FBI's investigation into Israeli spies knowing about 9/11 in advance was stifled. Israel remains a key ally of the US. Netanyahu once stated that 9/11 was beneficial for Israel.

Following the 9/11 attacks, reports surfaced of men, some identified as Mossad assets, celebrating and recording the first plane strike. Witnesses reported seeing individuals on a van appearing happy while filming the towers. After 9/11, over 60 Israelis were detained, some under the Patriot Act, for immigration violations, and some were active Israeli military. Some detainees failed polygraph tests regarding alleged surveillance. Investigators suspected some Israelis gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance and didn't share it, but evidence linking Israelis to 9/11 is classified. Prior to 9/11, up to 140 other Israelis had been detained in a secretive investigation into suspected espionage. Documents detail hundreds of incidents across the country, suggesting an organized intelligence gathering activity. Some Israelis claimed to be art students and targeted military bases, the DEA, FBI, and other government facilities. A US intelligence agency stated that Israel conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the US of any ally. Investigators have collected a great deal of evidence, though not necessarily conclusive, regarding advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attacks.

A report reveals that individuals targeted military bases, government facilities, and the homes of law enforcement and intelligence personnel, selling cheap art and handiwork. Many of those questioned claimed to have served in military intelligence and surveillance units. The investigation also led to the detention of Israelis and Americans selling toys called puzzle car and Zoom copter, suspected to be a front. The Israeli government denies any spying allegations. However, a US intelligence agency referred to Israel as conducting the most aggressive espionage operation against the US among its allies. Israel's strong survival instincts and appetite for information make the US a high priority target. Concerns are raised about the US phone system and law enforcement's wiretapping methods potentially being compromised. Investigators are also looking into claims of advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attacks.

There were many involved in nine eleven—the Pentagon, the executive branch, and the CIA—with prior knowledge and investments. And then there was Israel. The dancing Israelis, who posed for pictures in front of the burning towers, told the FBI that Israel now has hope that the world will understand us. Over a 100 Israelis were arrested after 9/11; they were trained in military intelligence and explosives, posing as art students with fake IDs, infiltrating government buildings. The US response was to destabilize the Middle East and to start viewing the American people as domestic terrorists. This is known as a false flag. Netanyahu has made it clear he supports Hamas, and the evidence shows that they are also a creation of the intelligence agencies. Having helped to build up Hamas, Netanyahu has now vowed to destroy it.

The transcript weaves together a compilation of statements and reporting surrounding the 9/11 attacks, Israeli involvement rumors, and related investigations. - Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said September has been good for Israel, claiming, “we're benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq.” - CNN reported (and later acknowledged as false) a tape in which Osama bin Laden told his mother that something big was about to happen; bin Laden had consistently denied involvement in 9/11 and claimed Zionists were behind the attacks. Reports from Japanese, Chinese, and Indian outlets claimed bin Laden was killed in Afghanistan in 2001 and buried in an unmarked grave by his own men. There are claims from the Muslim world and some European figures that Zionist extremists staged the 9/11 attacks to ignite terrorism. - A commentator asserted that the war has targeted Israel’s Muslim enemies and is being fought and paid for with American blood, lives, and tax dollars. - A speaker argued that bin Laden, regardless of who committed the attacks, comes back to the Middle East, and urged the United States to dismantle the entire “evil empire of terrorism,” warning that without doing so, the terror network could develop nuclear capabilities and threaten the United States and its allies. - Observers described a lack of apparent shock among certain people in connection with the events, noting unusual behavior or reactions. - Five men arrested in a van were later identified as Israeli, with some connections to Israeli intelligence; they were turned over to the FBI. National security databases showed some of the men had prior Israeli intelligence or counterterrorism experience, and one admitted serving in an Israeli army anti-terrorist unit and refused a lie detector test for an extended period. A speaker emphasized loyalty to country when discussing military service. - Fox News and others reported that up to 140 Israelis had been detained prior to September 11 in an ongoing, broad investigation into suspected espionage by Israelis in the United States. Government documents described hundreds of incidents across U.S. cities that investigators said could indicate organized intelligence gathering. The “country A” in a General Accounting Office document was said to be Israel, described as conducting aggressive espionage against the U.S. despite being an ally, with Israel possessing substantial resources to achieve its collection objectives. - Investigators questioned the possibility that some Israeli agents had advanced knowledge of the attacks, suggesting there is explosive but not necessarily conclusive evidence when aggregated. A recurring theme was the question of how such agents could have known, given the events. - Allegations of foreknowledge included claims that Israeli agents were forewarned and filmed the event on Israeli television. Some individuals detained or questioned described their presence in Israel as journalists or documenters. The broader question centered on whether Israelis gathered intelligence in advance and whether it was shared or withheld. - The transcript also recounts the failure to account for certain details (e.g., passport survivals, disappearance of voice recorders) as well as assertions that anthrax letters, later linked to a U.S. Army lab, were used to deflect blame toward Muslims. - Two accounts describe a white Chevy van linked to Urban Moving Systems, a moving company whose employees were alleged to have connections to Israeli intelligence. The FBI issued a nationwide alert about the van, and two suspects were reported in custody after explosives were found in a vehicle near the George Washington Bridge. CBS reported that two suspects were in FBI custody and that the truck contained enough explosives to damage the bridge, with some accounts noting a prior alert about a van on the way to destroy the bridge. - Overall, the material presents a network of claims and investigations involving alleged Israeli espionage, foreknowledge of 9/11, intelligence operations in the United States, and specific incidents surrounding the George Washington Bridge and related arrests.

Israeli spies linked to 9/11 were quickly deported, with suspicions of spying on Islamic groups. FBI investigations were stifled, and reports of advanced knowledge were classified. Despite evidence, Israel remains a key US ally. Netanyahu's comments on 9/11 benefiting Israel were noted. The story of Israeli spies celebrating 9/11 remains classified, with calls for justice against those who celebrated the attacks.

Amdocs Limited, an Israeli telecommunications company, handles directory assistance and call records for major US phone companies. Following September 11th, over 60 Israelis were arrested or detained, including some active military personnel. Investigators suspect that these individuals may have had prior knowledge of the attacks but did not share it. A high-ranking investigator mentioned "tie-ins" but refused to provide further details, citing classified evidence.

US investigators suspect that some of the approximately 60 Israelis detained in connection with the September 11th terrorism investigation were spying on Arabs in the country. There are concerns that these Israeli agents may have had information about the planned terrorist attacks that was not shared. A private communications company called Amdocs, which has contracts with major phone companies in America, is believed to have played a role in this. Amdocs generates records of phone calls made in the US, making it difficult to make a call without leaving a trace. The company has been investigated by the FBI multiple times but denies any security breaches.

Some individuals who were caught admitted to having multiple numbers to avoid arrest, compromising law enforcement communications. The organization had access to database systems and could obtain personal and biographical information. Investigators suspected Amdocs, an Israeli firm that generates billing data and does credit checks, but the company denies any leaks. Concerns were also raised about potential vulnerabilities in the wiretapping system. Converse Infosys, a main contractor working closely with the Israeli government, was reimbursed for its research and development costs. The Bush administration referred questions about the detention of 60 Israelis after September 11th to the Department of Justice and the FBI.

Investigators have collected evidence suggesting that Israeli agents may have had advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Over 60 Israelis have been detained since then, including some active military personnel. Polygraph tests revealed suspicious activity related to alleged surveillance in the US. The Bush administration avoided addressing these concerns. Additionally, a van with explosives was stopped near Manhattan, and witnesses saw three men on top of the van who appeared happy. Some investigators believe that Israelis were engaged in spying activities in the US even before 9/11. Classified documents indicate that around 140 Israelis had been detained or arrested for suspected espionage. The investigation focuses on Israeli art students who targeted military bases, government facilities, and the homes of law enforcement and intelligence personnel. The General Accounting Office referred to Israel as conducting the most aggressive espionage operation against the US among US allies. American terrorism investigators suspect that the September 11th attackers had knowledge of their activities by analyzing phone call data. Amdocs Limited, an Israeli telecommunications company, handles directory assistance and call records for major US phone companies. Comverse Infosys, a subsidiary of an Israeli telecommunications firm, provides wiretapping equipment. Concerns arise from the possibility of wiretaps being intercepted through backdoors in the system. Converse works closely with the Israeli government and receives reimbursement for research and development costs. However, suggesting Israeli spying through Converse is considered career suicide for investigators within the DEA, INS, and FBI.

A witness in New Jersey saw three men on top of a van taking pictures with the burning Twin Towers in the background. The men were later arrested and found to be Israeli. Some had connections to Israeli intelligence. The FBI questioned them about their knowledge of the 9/11 attacks but found no evidence of advanced knowledge. However, there were suspicions that they were part of an Israeli operation to monitor radical Islamic charities. The men were eventually deported. Fox News reported that there were other Israelis in the US who may have had knowledge of the attacks but did not share it. The investigation also revealed suspicions of Israeli espionage activities in the US. A book claimed that Israeli agents withheld information that could have saved American lives in the Beirut Marine Barracks bombing. The book was temporarily blocked by Israeli officials.

Since 9/11, over 60 Israelis have been detained under the Patriot Act or for immigration violations, some failing polygraph tests about alleged US surveillance. Investigators suspect Israelis gathered intelligence about the 9/11 attacks in advance but didn't share it, though evidence is classified. Prior to 9/11, 140 Israelis were detained in a suspected espionage investigation, targeting government facilities under the guise of art students or mall toy vendors. A General Accounting Office report stated that Israel conducts the most aggressive espionage against the US of any ally, motivated by survival instincts to collect military and industrial technology. The Israeli embassy denies these allegations. Investigators fear 9/11 suspects stayed ahead by knowing who investigators were calling, through Amdocs, an Israeli-based company handling call records for major US phone companies. A top-secret report warned that US call records were getting into Israeli hands. The NSA warned the FBI and CIA about potential misuse of Amdocs' data. Comverse Infosys, an Israeli-run company, provides wiretapping equipment for US law enforcement, creating a backdoor for unauthorized interception of wiretaps. Despite concerns and warnings, the FBI continued to award contracts to Converse. A 1997 drug case revealed Israeli organized crime had compromised law enforcement communications, accessing databases for personal information. Since 9/11, nearly 200 Israeli citizens have been arrested or detained, suspected of organized intelligence gathering.

After the September 11 attacks, rumors circulated about Middle Eastern men seen near NYC. 5 Israelis were arrested for suspicious behavior. They worked for a moving company and denied any involvement in espionage. FBI found no evidence of advanced knowledge of the attacks. The men were deported after 71 days and banned from the US for 10 years. The FBI believed they were monitoring Islamic charities, not targeting the US. The investigation did not uncover any ties to the attacks. Israeli officials denied any intelligence operation. The FBI concluded the men were not involved in the September 11 plot.

After the September 11 attacks, rumors circulated about Middle Eastern men seen taking pictures near the Twin Towers. 5 Israelis were arrested and investigated for possible espionage. They claimed to be working for a company called Urban Moving. The FBI found connections to Israeli intelligence and searched the company's offices, which were abandoned shortly after the arrests.

Some individuals were seen celebrating the 9/11 attacks in New Jersey, later found to have ties to Israeli intelligence. They were detained, but quickly deported back to Israel. The FBI suspected they were on a mission for the Mossad. The men claimed they were innocent tourists, but FBI reports showed they were celebrating the attacks. The owner of the company they worked for fled to Israel, and the Justice Department destroyed the pictures of the men celebrating.

Israelis were suspected of spying on the US before 9/11, with over 60 arrests post-attack. Investigators believe Israelis may have known about the attacks beforehand but didn't share information. Some were detained for surveillance activities. Classified evidence suggests ties to 9/11. Israelis posed as art students to access military bases and government facilities. The investigation spans the mid-90s to uncover organized intelligence gathering. Israeli military personnel were among those detained. Fox News obtained classified documents detailing espionage suspicions by Israelis in the US. The investigation continues.

The dancing Israelis were not somberly photographing the 9/11 attacks, as FBI reports revealed. They were celebrating, with pictures showing them smiling, hugging, and high-fiving. Some had ties to Israeli intelligence and were suspected of being on a Mossad mission. They carried large sums of money, lied to the police, and had plane tickets for immediate departure. Despite this, they were only held for 71 days before being deported back to Israel. The owner of the company they worked for, suspected of providing cover for Israeli intelligence, fled to Israel. The justice department destroyed the pictures, claiming they were just spying on Arab terrorists. The FBI believed they were investigating Muslim groups and charities linked to terrorism.

Reports circulated of individuals celebrating the 9/11 attacks, including a group of Israelis seen photographing and celebrating the event shortly after the first plane strike. Five men were detained in a van with Urban Moving Systems signage. One, Sivan Kirsberg, reportedly said, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem." They claimed to be tourists who wanted a better view. FBI reports revealed the men were celebrating, not somber. Pictures showed them smiling, hugging, and high-fiving. Some had ties to Israeli intelligence. One claimed they were sent to document the event, but gave conflicting accounts of their arrival time. They were held for 71 days and deported. The FBI investigated Urban Moving Systems, suspecting it was a cover for Israeli intelligence. Fox News reported on an Israeli art student spying ring investigated before 9/11 and the detention of 60 Israeli spies after the attacks. The report was later removed. Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said the 9/11 attacks were good for Israel. A mathematician and skyscraper engineer stated the towers were incredibly strong and could only have fallen in free fall due to controlled demolition. They cited World Trade Center 7 as further evidence. A FEMA worker stated they arrived the night before 9/11. Witnesses reported numerous secondary explosions.

Since 9/11, over 60 Israelis have been detained, some with military backgrounds, raising suspicions of pre-attack intelligence gathering. Investigators are looking into possible connections to 9/11, but evidence is classified. Prior to 9/11, about 140 Israelis were detained in a suspected espionage investigation, targeting government personnel and facilities under the guise of selling art. Separately, Israelis were detained at mall kiosks, suspected of using toy sales as a front. US investigators are looking into Amdocs, an Israeli telecom company managing call records for major US phone companies, fearing data breaches and potential misuse. Concerns extend to Comverse Infosys, an Israeli firm providing wiretapping equipment to US law enforcement, with suspicions of security vulnerabilities and unauthorized access to wiretaps.

On the morning of 9/11, a woman in New Jersey saw five men, who appeared Middle Eastern, filming the burning tower and celebrating. She reported them to the police, who found them in a white van. These men, later known as the "dancing Israelis," were arrested and held for 71 days until Michael Chertoff, head of the criminal division of the justice department, released them. Chertoff also oversaw the release of 200 individuals arrested in a spy ring, allowing them to return to Israel. Two of the dancing Israelis were known to be Mossad agents, and they claimed they were there to document the event. This raises questions about their prior knowledge of the attacks.

Fox News reports that more than sixteen years after Pollard, US investigators believe Israelis are again engaged in spying in and on the US, and may have known things they didn't tell us before September 11. Since 9/11, more than 60 Israelis have been arrested or detained, some failing polygraphs about alleged surveillance; there is no indication they were involved in the attacks, but investigators say they may have gathered intelligence in advance and not shared it. "Evidence linking these Israelis to nineeleven is classified." A group in North Carolina is suspected of keeping an apartment in California to spy on a group of Arabs. As many as 140 Israelis have been detained since the mid-nineties in an "organized intelligence gathering activity" penetrating military bases, the DEA, FBI, and private homes; many claimed service in military intelligence. Dozens were detained at mall kiosks selling Puzzle Car and Zoom Copter as a front. Investigations point to Amdocs Limited, "an Israeli based private telecommunications company," that "generates billing data for virtually every call in America," with NSA warnings of records possibly falling into foreign hands; Comverse Infosys, "a subsidiary of an Israeli run private telecommunications firm," provides wiretapping equipment, CALEA interception, and concerns of a "backdoor" vulnerability. The Israeli embassy denies spying, "simply not true."

Officials involved in awarding Converse government contracts now work for the company. Some of these individuals left government service under troublesome circumstances, currently under review by the justice department. In the counterterrorism investigation of the World Trade Center attack, suspects changed their telecommunications processes as soon as wiretaps were put in place. There is no reason to suspect the Israeli government's involvement, but there are suspicions and ongoing investigations into this possibility. Nearly 200 Israeli citizens suspected of belonging to an organized intelligence gathering operation have been arrested or detained. Concerns have also been raised about an Israeli firm generating billing data for intelligence purposes and the vulnerability of the Federal Government's wiretapping system. The investigation began with a drug case in Los Angeles in 1997 involving Israeli organized crime and allegations of drug trafficking and fraud. The suspects had surveillance on law enforcement's communication devices.

Following the 9/11 attacks, investigators tracked information to Amdocs, an Israeli-owned company handling billing for 90% of US phone companies. A 1999 NSA report warned that US call records were reaching foreign hands, specifically Israel. It was suggested that knowing a police officer's or informant's name could expose entire networks of contacts. Another company, Comverse Infosys, a subsidiary of an Israeli-run telecommunications firm, installs and maintains phone-tapping equipment for US law enforcement. Their wiretap computer programs allegedly have a backdoor, allowing unauthorized interception of wiretaps. Comverse works closely with the Israeli government, which reimburses up to 50% of its research and development costs. DEA, INS, and FBI investigators have stated that suggesting Israeli spying through Comverse is career suicide, and FBI inquiries have been halted before thorough equipment testing. Agents have been warned that suggesting an Israeli link to 9/11 is career suicide. The FBI office in Quantico, Virginia, has awarded much of its intercept equipment business to Comverse.

The FBI, Secret Service, DEA, and LAPD are mentioned in the video. There is a discussion about 60 Israelis detained in an anti-terror investigation and suspicions that they may have had information about the 9/11 attacks but did not pass it on. The Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, reportedly sent representatives to the US to warn about an imminent terrorist attack before 9/11. However, the warning was considered nonspecific and general. The lack of useful details, rather than a lack of warning, is seen as the problem. The video also mentions concerns about a company called Amdocs, which generates phone call records and billing data, and another company called Comverse Infosys, which provides wiretapping technology for law enforcement.
