straw man

Former Israeli Prime Minister and current leader of the opposition
Benjamin Netanyahu has
stated during a speech that the 9/11 attacks were a good thing for Israel.
Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper re****ted that Netanyahu, leader of the Likud
party, told an assembly
at Bar Ilan university:
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin
Towers and Pentagon, and
the American struggle in Iraq."
Thousands of dead Americans and millions more slaughtered Iraqis, along
with a war torn and
divided country is beneficial to Israel, according to Mr Netanyahu.
The newspaper also re****ted he later added that the events "swung American
public opinion in
our favor."
In a display of utter disrespect, the staunch Zionist is re****ted to have
made the comments at
the conference on the division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with
the Palestinians.
Netanyahu's comments echo a previous statement he made on the very day of
9/11, as re****ted in
the New York Times, September 12th:
Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United
States and Israel,
Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied: “It's very good.”
Then he edited himself: “Well, not very good, but it will generate
immediate sympathy.”
Netanyahu has strong ties with leading American Neoconservatives such as
PNAC signatory Richard
Perle, former Pentagon official Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, former
Middle East Adviser to
US Vice President Dick Cheney.
In 2002 these men, as representatives of right wing think tank The
Institute for Advanced
Strategic and Political Studies, authored a paper entitled A Clean Break:
A New Strategy for
Securing the Realm, for the purpose of advising Netanyahu on how to
"engage every possible
energy on rebuilding Zionism."
The do***ent urged Israel to aggressively seek the downfall of their Arab
neighbors by
exploiting the inherent tensions within and among the Arab States. The
first step was the
removal of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
The paper suggested that “Israel will not only contain its foes; it will
transcend them,”
postulating that a war with Iraq would destabilize the entire Middle East,
allowing governments
in Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and other countries to be replaced.
In other developments today, the Iranian leader President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, has once again
questioned the official version of events surrounding 9/11.
"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A
building collapsed and they
said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names,"
Ahmadinejad is
re****ted to have said.
In a speech broadcast live on state television, Ahmadinejad called the
attack a pretext that
was used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Though it remains to be seen whether Ahmadinejad's comments have once
again been mistranslated
or taken out of context, it is expected that they will be seized upon by
those seeking to
demonize the 9/11 truth movement, which has recently gained increased
publicity via
endorsements from notable public figures such as former Minnesota Governor
Jesse Ventura and
legendary American singer Willie Nelson.
Unlike Ahmadinejad, activists within the 9/11 truth movement have never
questioned the death
toll resulting from the attacks, which is a patently ludicrous thing to
do, and have worked
closely with first responders groups, such as the Feal Good Foundation,
and victims families
groups, such as the Coalition of 9/11 Families, in order to push for a new
investigation.
