EB - are you totally confused? First, the reference is totally anti-establishment U.S., being far left of even Ted Kennedy and Ralph Nader.

Second, from an Israeli perspective, the risk-reward of pulling a stunt like this would be unacceptable. If they did it and it worked, we would see the anti-terrorist sentiment spread as it has.

If they did it and it backfired, they would lose all U.S. support as well as global support (if they have any non-U.S. support).

In short, Israel would fall within a month or so if they had done this, and we would stand by and watch and say this is too bad but we just can't help you.

There were similar reports that there were no ATF agents at the OK City bombing site on the day of the bombing.

It's good that arabs are blaming this on israelis though, shows they're ashamed of what their fellow arabs did (probably did).

Any denial of the story only perpetuates the conspiracy.
So the proper response to biased press is to say, "Yeah, whatever," until they get the story straight.
Can't wait for the tabloids here to fully expoit the whole frenzy. Actually, I can, because that person in front of me will buy it, then pay for groceries with a check.
