After doing a search (I was convinced someone started a thread about this) I found no thread relating to this development from just 2 months ago, so I decided to start one. Note: I'm a 9/11 skeptic, which merely means that I don't believe the US government has shared information that the American public should be entitled to, with regards to 9/11. I don't have any theory besides that to debate.
What's interesting to me, is the fact the FBI lied for many years about destroying the Israeli's camera rolls, then had to cough up the pictures, and STILL only released 14/76 photos taken by the 'Israeli movers'. I'm less interested in the photo of one of the men holding a lighter to the sky on 9/10/2001, as I don't know what this proves, but it seems important to the author.
Why aren't we allowed to see the full 76 photo set? It's going on 18 years since 9/11, and the best the FBI can do regarding the obvious Israeli intelligence operation is to release 14 photocopies of the original photos? Ridiculous.
NEW YORK — For nearly two decades, one of the most overlooked and little known arrests made in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks was that of the so-called “High Fivers,” or the “Dancing Israelis.” However, new information released by the FBI on May 7 has brought fresh scrutiny to the possibility that the “Dancing Israelis,” at least two of whom were known Mossad operatives, had prior knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
According to a former high-ranking American intelligence official who spoke to the Jewish Daily Forward in 2002, the FBI concluded in its investigation that the five Israelis arrested “were conducting a Mossad surveillance mission and that their employer, Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, NJ, served as a front.” At least two of the men arrested were determined to have direct links to the Mossad after their names appeared in a CIA-FBI database of foreign intelligence operatives. According to one of their lawyers, one of the men, Paul Kurzberg, had previously worked for the Mossad in another country prior to arriving in the United States. Another of those arrested, Oded Ellner, subsequently stated on Israeli TV that the five Israelis had been in New York at the time “to document the event,” meaning the attack on the World Trade Center.
The FOIA release of the photos is notable because responses to prior FOIA requests to the Department of Justice, which oversees the FBI, had previously claimed that all of the photos taken by the Israeli nationals had been destroyed in January 2014. The photos themselves are heavily redacted, making it impossible to see the Israelis’ facial expressions. However, previously declassified yet heavily redacted FBI reports state that the Israelis are “visibly happy” in nearly every photo, even when the burning towers are in the background. The photos released are also not original copies and instead appear to be photocopies of photocopies of the original pictures. In addition, of the original 76 pictures developed by authorities from the camera in the Israelis’ possession, only 14 were released.
