In reply to the discussion: The movement that dare not speak its name in Israel [View all]Galraedia
(5,331 posts)44. Yet they fail to mention the claims that the Israeli Defense Agency
sent a film crew to hand out candy to Palestinians in order to induce them into staging a celebration. Whether or not a few celebrated is irrelevant though. There are videos captured from around the world of people celebrating what happened on 9/11. In France, Germany, Iran, Israel,...etc. There are also videos of people mourning what happened on 9/11 in those very same countries as well. So why single out the Palestinians, especially when they had nothing to even do with the attacks? The most likely answer to that is in Benjamin Netanyahu's own words...
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq" - Benjamin Netanyahu
