".....They were like happy...."

06.09.2004 17:59

"...It’s not surprising that the New Jersey housewife who first spotted the five Israelis and their white van wants to preserve her anonymity. She’s insisted that she only be identified as Maria. A neighbour in her apartment building had called her just after the first strike on the Twin Towers. Maria grabbed a pair of binoculars and, like millions across the world, she watched the horror of the day unfold.

As she gazed at the burning towers, she noticed a group of men kneeling on the roof of a white van in her parking lot. Here’s her recollection: “They seemed to be taking a movie. They were like happy, you know ... they didn’t look shocked to me. I thought it was strange.”

Maria jotted down the van’s registration and called the police. The FBI was alerted and soon there was a statewide all points bulletin put out for the apprehension of the van and its occupants. The cops traced the number, establishing that it belonged to a company called Urban Moving.

Police Chief John Schmidig said: “We got an alert to be on the lookout for a white Chevrolet van with New Jersey registration and writing on the side. Three individuals were seen celebrating in Liberty State Park after the impact. They said three people were jumping up and down.”

By 4pm on the afternoon of September 11, the van was spotted near New Jersey’s Giants stadium. A squad car pulled it over and inside were five men in their 20s. They were hustled out of the car with guns levelled at their heads and handcuffed.

In the car was $4700 in cash, a couple of foreign passports and a pair of box cutters – the concealed Stanley Knife-type blades used by the 19 hijackers who’d flown jetliners into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon just hours before. There were also fresh pictures of the men standing with the smouldering wreckage of the Twin Towers in the background. One image showed a hand flicking a lighter in front of the devastated buildings..."

Is what this is, and as such should be hidden from this site.

Don't Confuse Anti-Semitism With Truth

08.09.2004 16:30



This is just an illustration of a story that was covered by many newspapers, including, the Jewish newspaper: the Forward, as well as the Israeli newspapers: Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post. If you go on google and search “cheering Israelis”, or “dancing Israelis” you will find hundreds of articles on this incident, which took place on the New Jersey shore September 11, 2001.
If this illustration were to be considered "anti-Semitic" for it's depiction of a real event, then by the same logic, Haaretz, the Jerusalem Post, ABC, The Sunday Harald, Fox News, and all those other news organizations which covered this story would have to be considered the same.
No, this is not anti-Semitic, it's a depiction of a true event.
