Can somebody please help dispell the myth of all Jews being absent from the twin towers on S11?

Question

What happened ? Did mosad get on the phone and say "Shalom, don't go to work tomorrow, we're going to blow it up and all your non Jewish workmates, please don't tell them or the FBI."
Smells like bullshit to me.
The war on terror has been one big oil grab for the Bush oil mafia, everybody knows it. Rumors like this just make us thinking people look like crackpots.

Ok and if you do subscribe to the theory. Please explain how people were warned. How nobody told the media and why Israel would attack its best friend and protector.

Answer 1

From the Unites States web site::

http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jan/14-260933.html

""A total of 2,071 occupants of the World Trade Center died on September 11, among the 2,749 victims of the WTC attacks.

According to an article in the October 11, 2001, Wall Street Journal, roughly 1,700 people had listed the religion of a person missing in the WTC attacks; approximately 10% were Jewish.

A later article, in the September 5, 2002, Jewish Week, states, "based on the list of names, biographical information compiled by The New York Times, and information from records at the Medical Examiner's Office, there were at least 400 victims either confirmed or strongly believed to be Jewish."

This would be approximately 15% of the total victims of the WTC attacks.

A partial list of 390 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died (out of 658 in the company) lists 49 Jewish memorial services, which is between 12% and 13%.

This 10-15% estimate of Jewish fatalities tracks closely with the percentage of Jews living in the New York area.""

HOWEVER, the antisemites among us wont ever believe this truth, and the ones on and off the internet who keep the lie going that the Jews were forewarned, are usually tied to the Arabs.

Answer 2

As i arrive here, the question has already been more than adequately answered. I too was going to provide a list of victim's names.

I WOULD, however, dispute your inclusion of yourself in the category of "thinking people", since you've chosen to question the obviously ludicrous rumor of no jews being present as if it needs dispelling, and have bought the equally ludicrous idea that the war was "one big oil grab" and even more ridiculous, that "everybody knows it".

Using an inflamatory phrase like "Bush oil mafia" doesn't help your case, either. On top of all that, i might point out that it was "9/11", Sept. 11, or just September 11th, not "S11", as 'S' is not a widely accepted abreviation for September.

Answer 3

MANY Jews were killed. Can you imagine such a message not being repeated by ANYONE to the authorities? I don't know if you've ever been in a militray or business situation to keep secrets, but on a large scale it is not an easy thing to do.

Far as oil, WHAT??? Do we not pay MORE per barrel with troops in Iraq then we did before or would if they left? What Oil are we grabbing? Iraq sells what very little oil it pumps on the international market. You can't actually grab oil anyway, all you could do is create a situation where more is being pumped to lower prices, which requires regional stability, not war. Oil companies make basically a set profit per barrel pumped, or refined. They are making tons right now because volume is so high to China/India, but they are paying out the *** onteh per barrel price too & passing it on.

Answer 4

You know, by the phrasing of your question (or rather the explanation afterwards), people might think you believe such rumors. If you people answering the question actually read it carefully, you'd realize that this person does not believe those rumors and is trying to dispell the myth (read it again!).

However, try to use quotations for clarity. Example:

The war on terror is just one big oil grab. Sounds like bull to me.

is read better as:

people say, "the war on terror is just one big oil grab." That sounds like bull to me.

Answer 5

"The Jews did 9/11" is an article of faith for many people, including most of the world's Muslims.

It's very difficult to get someone to stop "believing" something, no matter what evidence you have. Since religious blind faith is not based on fact or reason.

Muslims believe what they are taught at the Mosque and in the Qur'an. They are taught over and over again from both these sources that Jews are evil.

Answer 6

About 10-15% of the victims were Jewish. Not all victims had thier religion registered so no one knows the excat number, but about 400 victims were Jewish or "strongly believed to be" Jewish.

Answer 7

Not true that no Jews were hurt/lost/killed. In fact, many casualties in teh attack have unklnown profiles until now... so what made that myth is a couch-potato gossiper who ran out of beer.

Answer 8

Heres the link to the official list of those lost in the twin towers. If you read the list theres plenty of "jewish" names on it.

Answer 9

Well I never heard such a rumor and by you even going there now here, you are becoming part of the problem-not the solution. Think about it.

Answer 10

People are going to believe what they want to believe; logic and truth are always also-rans when it comes to conspiracy and bigotry.

The links below are pretty solid debunkings of this nonsense by both Snopes and the US State Department. Not that it will matter to those who are determined to believe.
