Silverstein's Friends

The guy is right; the more rocks you turn over regarding 9/11, the more you find Israeli connections.

Hey, I never wanted it to be this way. I'm only following the road of evidence. In a way, the knowledge has completely ruined my life.

Here's another piece of the puzzle.

"Up in Smoke

by Sara Leibovich-Dar

Shortly after the events of September 11, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called Larry Silverstein, a Jewish real estate magnate in New York, the owner of the World Trade Center's 110-story Twin Towers and a close friend, to ask how he was. Since then they have spoken a few more times. Two former prime ministers - Benjamin Netanyahu, who this week called Silverstein a "friend," and Ehud Barak, whom Silverstein in the past offered a job as his representative in Israel - also called soon after the disaster. Yaakov Terner, the mayor of Be'er Sheva, sent a letter of condolence....

Silverstein has ties of various kinds in Israel. He is a donor to Tel Aviv University and to the Tel Aviv development foundation. He held a few fundraising events at his home in New York for the foundation with the participation of the then-mayor of Tel Aviv, Roni Milo. Silverstein is a nice guy and a pleasant conversationalist, not like most rich Americans, Milo says.

Silverstein is also a member of the joint American-Israeli commission for housing and community development, which was established by former president Bill Clinton. In the early 1990s, he was involved in projects to build housing for new immigrants. The Israeli political world got to know Silverstein when he tried to create a free-trade zone in the country. He became friendly with Yitzhak Rabin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon.

--MORE--"

It comes as no surprise that those highly-placed Israeli offoicials would be connected somehow.

Not at this point in time.


On the day of the 9-11 attacks,
former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was:


"It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)."


"Netanyahu says 9/11 terror attacks good for Israel"

"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."

Yeah, and CUI BONO surrounding the atrocities committed that day?

Isn't that just the devil's piss, huh?
