Analysis of the Dancing Israelis Incident
Although this narrative is still trotted out
when the story of the dancing Israelis
is raised in the media, it is an easily demonstrable lie.
FBI reports confirmed that the men were not taking somber pictures of a
horrific
event. When their 76 pictures were developed, they
revealed the men had indeed been celebrating, smiling, hugging each other,
and high-fiving.
One of the pictures even featured Sivan Kurzberg holding a lighter
up with the burning tower in the background.
And these were no ordinary tourists.
Oded Elner had $4,700 stuffed into his sock.
They lied to the police about where they had been that morning.
They were carrying plane tickets for immediate departure to different places
around
the globe. The FBI confirmed that two of the men had ties to
Israeli intelligence and came to suspect
that they had indeed been on a
mission for the Mossad.
And of course, after returning to Israel, Elner claimed on national
Israeli TV that they had been sent there to document the
event.
And at that point we were taken for another round of
questioning, this time related
to our allegedly being members of Mossad.
The fact of the matter is we are coming from a country
that experiences terror
daily. Our purpose was to document the event.
Their purpose was to document the event?
But how could they possibly have known what event they were documenting at that
point, before the second plane strike, when those few who even knew about the
situation had assumed it to be an accident or pilot error?
And when did they arrive at the parking lot to document the event anyway?
The FBI reports show how the men gave confused and often conflicting accounts of
when and how they learned about what was happening and when they arrived at the
parking lot. Oded Elner even said they had arrived
there shortly after 8
a.m., which would have been 45 minutes before
the attacks even
began. This is in line with one of the
eyewitnesses that had placed their
Urban Moving Systems van at the parking lot at 8 a.m.
How could they have been in place and ready to document the event unless
they
knew what was about to happen?
