Burying the Canard

September 8, 2006 6:29 by

9_11Al-Jazeera aired an Al-Qaida-produced videotape of Osama bin Laden planning the 9/11 attacks. Two of the hijackers, Hamza el-Ramdi and Wael el-Shemari appeared in the footage.

How appropriate that as the 9/11 anniversary approaches, Al-Jazeera buries once and for all the silly innuendo blaming Israel. Just this week, the canard was echoed by Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

Ghamdi was on United Airline flight 175, which crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. Shemari was on American Airlines flight 11, which crashed into the World Trade Center’s north tower.

    Here is what you said.
    “buries once and for all the silly innuendo blaming Israel. ”
    This does no such thing. After all that we have seen do you really think that mere facts and confessions of guilt will stop people from blaming Israel?

    I completely agree with Stan. The Protocols are long proven to be a forgery by the Russian Tsarist secret service, but that doesn’t stop people all over the world from still taking them as factual.
    This isn’t to say we should all stop our counter-propaganda efforts, but it does mean the true, ultimate end of anti-Semitism rests with Someone else.
