The dancing Israelis were not innocent tourists, as FBI reports revealed. They were seen celebrating and taking pictures of the 9/11 attacks. Some had ties to Israeli intelligence and claimed they were there to document the event. However, it is unclear how they knew about the attacks before they happened. Despite their suspicious behavior, they were only held for 71 days before being deported back to Israel. The owner of the company they worked for, suspected of being involved in an Israeli intelligence operation, fled to Israel as well. The pictures taken by the dancing Israelis were destroyed, and it is believed they were spying on Arab terrorists.

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.

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.

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.

A woman in New Jersey witnessed three men on a van roof posing and appearing happy while the Twin Towers burned. She found their behavior strange and contacted the police, who stopped the van and arrested five men, all of whom were Israeli. The men were then handed over to the FBI. According to ABC News sources, a check of national security databases revealed that some of the men had connections with Israeli intelligence.

Netanyahu, who on two occasions said some positive things about nine eleven for Israel, told the New York Times, 'it's very good.' He edited himself: 'Well, not very good,' but added it 'will generate immediate sympathy, meaning sympathy for Israel.' In 02/2008, Ma'ariv quoted him: 'the nine eleven attacks had been beneficial for Israel. Quote, we are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon.' In New Jersey, Israeli Mossad officers were arrested after celebrating; 'The FBI released the pictures, and they're holding lighters up like they're the ones burning the tower down, and they're all laughing and celebrating.' Carl Cameron of Fox News did a four part investigative series quoting FBI agents as saying they had to have known what was happening. ABC News reported: 'It began when this woman was watching the Twin Towers burning from her apartment in New Jersey. She noticed three men on top of a van posing for pictures with the towers burning in the background.' 'All five, it turns out, were Israeli. They were turned over to the FBI.'

ABC's John Miller reports on a case that took the FBI and CIA more than two months to sort out while five Israelis waited in jail. The investigation began after a woman watching the Twin Towers burning from her New Jersey apartment saw three men on top of a van posing for pictures with the towers burning in the background. This report concerns a group of Middle Eastern men spotted on the morning of September 11, parked across the river from New York City, and has raised questions about whether Israel was conducting espionage on US soil. The investigation into their presence has persisted since the attacks, amid rumors and scrutiny in the days after September 11.

A woman in New Jersey witnessed three men on a van roof posing and smiling as the Twin Towers burned. She called the police, who stopped the van and arrested five Israeli men. Sources told ABC News that some were listed in national security databases as having connections with Israeli intelligence, raising alarms at the FBI. The FBI sought to determine the men's identities, their presence at the parking lot on 9/11, and whether they had advance knowledge of the attacks. The men claimed they worked for Urban Moving. FBI agents with a search warrant filled two SUVs with boxes and computers from Urban Moving's offices, which were soon abandoned. The five Israelis were interrogated and given lie detector tests. Their lawyer stated they were asked if they had been approached or hired by non-U.S. intelligence. Some investigators believed the men were part of an Israeli operation monitoring radical Islamic charities, a claim denied by the men's lawyers and the Israeli government. One of the men stated their purpose was to document the event, as they come from a country that experiences terror daily.

In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, rumors circulated about a group of Middle Eastern men seen near New York City. ABC's John Miller reports that these men were Israeli and were arrested after being spotted taking pictures with the burning Twin Towers in the background. Some of the men had connections to Israeli intelligence, which raised concerns at the FBI. However, after an investigation, it was determined that there was no evidence of their involvement in the 9/11 plot. The men were deported and barred from returning to the US for violating immigration laws. The FBI believes they were monitoring Islamic charities linked to terrorist groups like Hamas.

On 9/11, a woman saw 5 Middle Eastern-looking men filming and celebrating the burning towers in New Jersey. They were Israelis dubbed the "dancing Israelis," arrested but released by Michael Chertoff. Chertoff also released 200 arrested in a spy ring. The Israelis claimed they were documenting the event, raising questions about prior knowledge.

In the days after the September attacks, rumors swirled about strange coincidences. One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11 parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away, raising questions about whether Israel was conducting espionage on US soil. ABC's John Miller has an exclusive: five Israelis waited in jail as the FBI and CIA sorted it out. A witness saw three men on top of a van posing for pictures with the towers burning, "they were happy" and "they didn't look shocked." All five, it turns out, were Israeli. The FBI needed the answers to three important questions: "Who were these men? What brought them to that parking lot on the morning of September 11? And did they have any advanced knowledge of what was going to happen that day?" They said they worked for Urban Moving. The FBI obtained a search warrant for the company's offices; two SUVs were filled up with between nine and twelve boxes and computers; Urban Moving offices were abandoned; the five Israelis were interrogated and given lie detector tests. Stephen Gordon was their American lawyer.

Several witnesses reported seeing a group of men celebrating on the roof of a building across the Hudson River as the 9/11 attacks unfolded. These men were later identified as Israeli nationals and were found to have ties to Israeli intelligence. They were detained by the FBI but were quickly released and deported back to Israel. The official explanation was that they were innocent tourists who had come to document the event, but their behavior and conflicting accounts raised suspicions. The destruction of their photos and the focus on investigating Islamic groups rather than their activities further raised questions about their true intentions.

Some individuals were seen celebrating the 9/11 attacks, leading to their arrest. They claimed to be Israeli tourists, but evidence suggested ties to Israeli intelligence. Despite suspicions, they were deported to Israel without facing trial. The FBI destroyed evidence related to the case, and the owner of the company employing them fled. The official explanation of their actions remains questionable, raising doubts about their true intentions.

Johnny introduces a discussion on Fight Club’s alleged nine-eleven predictive programming. Johnn y asserts Fight Club, produced by Arnon Milchan, an admitted Israeli spy, was released in 1999, two years before the attack; Milchan also produced The Medusa Touch in 1978, 23 years before the attack. He claims Milchan wasn’t alone; in 1980, journalist Mike Evans dined with Issa Harrell, former head of Mossad, who allegedly said terror would come to America and that the first attack would be New York City’s tallest building, noting the World Trade Center sphere as a barrier that stood between the city’s tallest structures. The discussion escalates into a broader conspiracy: Operation Lockheed Thunder, the destruction of a World Trade Center sphere, and the notion that Mossad foreknew 9/11 and celebrated it rather than stopping it. The narrative cites a witness who observed five Israeli men taking photographs of the burning towers from a New Jersey van; the FBI investigated three questions about these men and any advanced knowledge, and the men claimed they were documenting the event for Urban Moving Systems. They even appeared on an Israeli talk show to discuss their actions. The program discusses Mossad’s alleged pre-9/11 warnings to the United States about a coming attack in North America, hijackings, and aircraft used as flying bombs, with claims that 4,000 Israeli or Jewish people in the New York City area were warned not to go to work. It covers media coverage of an Israeli instant messaging service, Otago, used to warn Israelis about an attack, and purported ties between Otago, Converse, and an Israeli intelligence officer. The narrative asserts that 4,000 Israeli citizens worked in the World Trade Center and Pentagon, with only five deaths, at least one of whom was a Mossad agent. It alleges that Zim, an Israeli shipping company partially owned by the Israeli government, moved out of the World Trade Center a week before 9/11, citing the president’s remarks about warnings. It asserts that two Israeli billionaires, Larry Silverstein and Frank Lowy, purchased the World Trade Center lease seven weeks before 9/11 and collected $4.5 billion in insurance after the attacks, alleging difficulties with insurance payouts that were eventually resolved after political intervention; Silverstein allegedly redesigned the World Trade Center in 2000 while the buildings were still standing. The text links Milchan and Bibi Netanyahu to foreknowledge of 9/11, with Netanyahu having worked for Milchan at Helai Trading Company, allegedly smuggling US nuclear technology to Israel. It mentions Richard Kelly Smythe’s FBI-declassified documents naming Netanyahu as Milchan’s contact. It presents Netanyahu’s statements that the attack benefited Israel, and contrasts this with Barak’s remarks on television about a global concerted effort against terror and the post-9/11 momentum for war with Iraq, Iran, and Libya. The transcript connects Rupert Murdoch, Milchan’s associate, to The Lone Gunman pilot episode (2000) depicting a passenger plane hijacked remotely and aimed at the World Trade Center, aired six months before 9/11. It notes four war-game simulations on the morning of 9/11, including airline counterterrorism scenarios, and suggests room for confusion or deliberate misdirection; it states two hijackers had Mossad connections, including Ziyad Jarrah’s cousin Ali Al Jarrah and four Mossad agents living near Muhammad Atta. Additional figures are named: Rabbi Dob Zakhan, SPC software for remote aircraft control, and Rebuilding America’s Defenses author; Daniel Lewin, an Israeli Special Forces member and Akamai founder, who allegedly had foreknowledge and was aboard United Airlines Flight 11. The dialogue ends with a depiction of the hijacking, detailing attempts to override flight controls, flying toward New York City and the World Trade Center, as the team attempts to hack the aircraft’s navigation and autopilot systems.

The dancing Israelis were not somberly documenting the 9/11 attacks, as FBI reports revealed. They were seen celebrating, smiling, and even holding a lighter with the burning tower in the background. These men had ties to Israeli intelligence, carried large sums of money, and lied about their whereabouts. Despite suspicions of an Israeli intelligence mission, 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 the operation, fled to Israel. The justice department destroyed the pictures taken by the Israelis, who claimed they were spying on Arab terrorists. The FBI believed they were investigating Muslim groups and charities linked to terrorism.

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.

In the days after the September attacks, rumors of coincidences circulated. A report about five Israelis arrested after a New Jersey witness saw three men on a van taking photos of the burning Twin Towers sparked questions about Israeli espionage on US soil. The men, who worked for Urban Moving, were listed in national security databases as having connections with Israeli intelligence. FBI asked: Who were these men? What brought them to that parking lot on September 11? Did they have any advanced knowledge? The men claimed they were "taking pictures." They were not involved in any intelligence operation in The United States; "The story is simply false." After 71 days, they were deported and barred from returning to The United States for ten years for immigration violations. Urban Moving offices were abandoned; two SUVs filled with nine to twelve boxes and computers.

There were reports of a group of men celebrating and taking pictures of the World Trade Center on 9/11. These men were later identified as Israeli nationals and had ties to Israeli intelligence. They were detained by the FBI but were released and deported back to Israel. The owner of the company they worked for, which was suspected of being a cover for Israeli intelligence, fled back to Israel as well. The official story claimed that they were just innocent tourists, but FBI reports showed that they were indeed celebrating and had knowledge of the attack before it happened. The implications of this story are questionable, as it suggests that these intelligence operatives were sent to document the event but were openly celebrating and drawing attention to themselves.
