netanyahu on september 12, 2001from nytimes: 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." He predicted that the attack would "strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because we've experienced terror over so many decades, but the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror."

Here we are 10 years later. How has 9/11 benefited Israel? It is still blamed for everything happening in this world and Jew haters are as vociferous as ever. But because Jews and Israel are evil demons they must have perpetrated 9/11.
