The Forward, a Jewish newspaper, stated that at least 2 of five Israelis arrested videotaping and, according to eyewitnesses, "celebrating" the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 were confirmed as agents of the Mossad, the Israeli "security" agency.
The Israelis were jailed for about ten weeks, then quietly sent back to Israel.
Also according to the Forward, the ostensible employer of the Israelis in question, a Weehawken, N.J. moving company known as Urban Moving systems, Inc., was a Mossad front outfit.
Didja know that this putative Mossad front operation got $498,750 in SBA loans in 2001?
New Jersey residents reported to police that five Middle Eastern looking men, with a white Chevy van, were seen at Liberty Park and other locations with videocameras pointed at the WTC, and appearing quite exhilarated at the scene of destruction.
One report characterized the men as "Palestinians," because they were "dressed like Arabs," something of a puzzle as generally Palestinians, both in Palestine and in the US, wear western attire.
Anyway, five men were arrested an a van approaching the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel. The van, supposedly belonging to Urban Moving systems, Inc. of Weehawken, which is across the river from lower Manhattan, contained among other things highlighted maps of New York City, box cutters (ahem), and $4700 in cash stuffed into a sock.
The Bergen Record reported that police told them that bomb-sniffing dogs reacted to the van as if it had recently contained explosives.
The arrestees told police that, as Israelis, they were not [America's] problem. "The Palestinians are your problem," they reportedly said.
The five were detailed for ten weeks and then discreetly released, whereupon they returned to Israel.
Just a few days after 9-11, however, Dominick Suter, the owner of Urban Moving Systems, abruptly shuttered the business (leaving clients' furniture in storage in some cases) and fled to Israel.
Again, the putative ties between the arrested Israelis, at least two of the Israeli men arrested on 9-11, and Urban Moving Systems Inc. and the Mossad was reported by the Forward, a Jewish publication.
The above are just facts, and you may draw or not draw from them such inferences as you think justified.
What does merit an arched eyebrow, however, is that FedSpending.org, which apparently tracks where our federal tax dollars go, on its website erported that in 2001 Urban Moving Systems, Inc. of New Jersey received, in the form of Small Business Association loans, a total of $498,750 from the American taxpayers.
My question, I think a legitimate one, is this: if as claimed by the Forward, "Urban Moving Systems, Inc." was a front for the Israeli government, were these loans repaid by Israel when right after 9-11 the supposed owner shut down the business, and ran back to Israel?
