As discussed on today’s FPM, the lunatic Left and their neonazi allies are spreading a story about how supposed Israeli Finance Minister Bibi Netanyahu, who was in London when the bombs went off, got "advance warning" of the bombs. In part these people base their "theory" on a erroneous news story that was put out by AP, and it was probably based on an initially incorrect comment by an Israeli foreign ministry official, whose communications with London were down, and who soon corrected himself. That error was briefly carried on the Israelnn.com web site, whence some of the Moonbats grabbed the "story". It has now been corrected on all reputable web sites and news services. Here is but one example.

It turns out that Netanyahu’s warning was "in advance" - only of the release of the news to the ordinary news outlets. It was NOT in advance of the blasts themselves. It was received from Scotland Yard and not from Israeli intelligence. The correction has been carried on many news services by now, but of course not by the leftwing fascist and anarcho-fascist web sites that carry the "conspiracy theories" about the bombings.

Israel not warned about blasts - foreign minister

Israel was not warned about possible terror attacks in London before at least six blasts ripped through the city, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said today.

A Foreign Ministry official had said earlier that British police warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terror attacks minutes before the first explosion.

“There was no early information about terrorist attacks,” Shalom told Israel Army Radio. “After the first explosion an order was given that no one move until things become clear.”

Israel was holding an economic conference in a hotel over the underground stop where one of the blasts occurred. Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was supposed to attend the conference, but “after the first explosion our finance minister received a request not to go anywhere,” Shalom said. Amir Gilad, a Netanyahu aide, told Israel Radio that Netanyahu’s entourage was receiving updates all morning from British security officials, and “we have also asked to change our plans.”
