Israel and 9/11: Thou Does Protest Too Much

Anti-semitism is one of the most frequent allegations about people involved in the 9/11 Truth movement. Is it true? Are 9/11 truthers really anti-semites?

Well, prominent Rabbi Michael Lerner and other Jewish leaders are calling for 9/11 truth. Indeed, Rabbi Lerner says that uncovering the truth of 9/11 has the power to bring positive, lasting change to our nation and to our world.

And some of the leading members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth are Jewish.

As are some of the other prominent individuals who have called for a deeper investigation into the events of 9/11.

Indeed, some of the most committed and hard-working 9/11 activists, such as Jon Gold and many others, are Jewish.

So that must mean that these are "self-loathing" Jews, right? No, actually. I know many of these people quite well, and they are wholly comfortable being Jewish. Many are proud of their heritage and their faith.

In fact, the charges of anti-semitism are clearly illogical. For example, a book has been labelled as anti-semitic even though its co-editor is Jewish and it contains contributions from 4 Jewish writers.

While there are a very small number of people claiming that they are for 9/11 truth but making anti-semitic remarks, they are shunned by the overwhelming majority of 9/11 truthers who abhor anti-semitism.

Given these facts, I would say this to anyone who claims that the 9/11 Truth movement is anti-semitic:
