[chottala.com] Fw: One Maryland: Preparedness for Swine Flu

A Message from the Governor

Preparedness for Swine Flu

Yesterday, I joined with Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) Secretary John M. Colmers, Deputy Secretary Frances Phillips, and State Epidemiologist
Dr. David Blythe to discuss the latest developments for the swine flu in Maryland. Thus far, there are over 100 cases of this virus in the country, and there are eight "probable" cases in Maryland, the results of which we expect in the next day or so from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Earlier this week, we opened our Swine Flu Command Center in Baltimore.  And today, we announced an advisory board made up of some of the best minds in medicine, infectious disease and pediatrics to advise us as we deal with the probable cases in Maryland.  These individuals have already provided invaluable advice and guidance, and will continue to assist us as we work through this situation. 

While we are making every preparation we can as a state, the decisions ahead may broadly impact the lives of all Marylanders.  Each member of this advisory board brings the scientific, clinical and academic guidance that will be immensely valuable in this decision-making process.  We fully expect to see more cases of swine flu in Maryland, and will continue to provide the public with the latest information possible.

Martin O'Malley, Governor 


Preventing the Flu

We encourage Marylanders to visit our web site for the latest information, including warning signs, symptoms, and prevention of the virus.  The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) is working to protect the people of Maryland, and as they do, it is important that our citizens remain up to date with timely, accurate information. 


Preventing Foreclosures in Maryland

Yesterday, Governor O'Malley joined housing counselors, pro-bono attorneys and homeowners from Prince George's County in a roundtable discussion about foreclosure prevention in Maryland. At this event, the Governor announced the latest federal, state and local funding awards totaling more than $2.5 million to help prevent foreclosures in Maryland. The State moved swiftly when this crisis began to enact an array of strategies and reforms, which the Washington Post called some of the most sweeping in America. And during this time of economic uncertainty, state and local officials are working hard to protect middle class families and keep families in their homes.


Putting Maryland Neighborhoods First

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has launched a new 30-minute radio show hosted by Secretary Raymond Skinner and Wiley Hall to highlight available resources and services for Maryland families in these difficult economic times including foreclosure prevention, affordable housing, weatherization, state resources to help community businesses, and what President Obama's Recovery and Reinvestment Act means for homeowners. The show airs Saturdays in the Washington, DC metro area on WOL 1450 AM from 3:30 - 4:00 PM, and Saturdays in the Baltimore metro area on WOLB 1010 from 8:00 - 8:30 AM.  The show will also be posted on DHCD's web site in case you miss it. Tune in this weekend.

[chottala.com] Fw: Yes He Did! Yes We Will! The First 100 Days



 
----- Original Message -----

Subject: Yes He Did! Yes We Will! The First 100 Days


 

Dear Friends - 

It is hard to believe that just five short months ago, we came together as a nation and elected Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States.  Today, some 100 days since our new President took his oath of office, America is back on the right track after eight long years of veering in the wrong direction. 

Writing in Time Magazine, Joe Klein suggests that in comparing our recent presidents' first 100 days, "I don't think we've ever seen anything like Obama since Roosevelt." 

I agree.  And I hope you will join me on June 16th at our Maryland Democratic Party Gala to celebrate the successes of our new President and to begin laying the strong foundation for more Democratic victories in 2010. 

For those of us in Maryland, the President's leadership is making a real difference for our families and for our ability to climb out of this national recession.

President Obama and Vice President Biden successfully fought to pass the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to create or save thousands of jobs and stimulate our economy while also helping secure a better future for our children and grandchildren by investing in our roads, bridges, and schools. 

Maryland is receiving more than $4 billion from this stimulus bill, funds which are allowing us to put our Families First by investing in our #1 ranked public schools, along with affordable college, public safety, health care, transit improvements, and the environment.  We are committed to investing these funds effectively, efficiently, and transparently - and have been recognized by the Administration for our nation-leading efforts. 

In this light, we encourage you to join us at our Democratic Gala.  In Maryland, Democrats were successful in 2006, we were successful in 2008, and we will be successful again in 2010.  

The President is also making a real difference for families across America by signing legislation to provide four million children with access to quality health care, and to guarantee our sisters, mothers, and daughters equal pay for equal work. 

What's more, by sending $2 million to help us combat the foreclosure crisis in Maryland, he's helping us put our Families First by keeping middle class families in their homes. 

The President's decision to lift the federal ban on stem cell research will have a positive impact on Maryland's economy, where a national research institution ranks our bioscience sector as one of the top two in America. 

President Obama's leadership on the environment is helping us attain our goals in Maryland, where together we've passed landmark clean cars legislation, protected 21,000 acres of Open Space, set ambitious goals to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse emissions, and made substantial progress toward restoring the Chesapeake Bay. 

Last but not least, the President's leadership in foreign affairs is making our families safer.  In just 100 days, President Obama and his Administration have made real progress toward restoring our alliances and renewing America's moral leadership in the world. 

As the President looks to his next 100 days, we are committed to our partnership with his Administration - and with all of you - to put our Families First and get Maryland's economy booming again. 

The President is not resting and neither are we. We look forward to seeing you on June 16th at the Gala as we celebrate the President, Maryland Democrats, and moving our country in the right direction. 

 

Sincerely,

Governor Martin O'Malley


Maryland Democratic Party

[chottala.com] Zionism is Racism – Part 2 By Dr. Habib Siddiqui



Zionism is Racism – Part 2
Zionism needs to be redefined

Monday April 27 2009 20:17:24 PM BDT

By Habib Siddiqui, USA


Israel's inherent racism has been vividly clear to anyone who had visited the Occupied Territories. As was noted in 2003 by The Foundation for Middle East Peace, a Washington-based institution that has been tracking Israeli settlement-building for decades, Israel's relentless increase in territorial control had "compromised not only the prospect for genuine Palestinian independence but also, in ways not seen in Israel's 36-year occupation, the very sustainability of everyday Palestinian life."

The situation today is worse than it was back then in 2003. The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs reported that the Israeli assault in last December and January killed more than 1,300 Gazans, including 300 children. Israeli missiles leveled the parliament building, mosques, the central courthouse, the Ministry of Justice, the main U.N. food storage warehouse, and the Red Crescent Society hospital. The science lab at Islamic University's highly regarded medical school was destroyed. The Israeli attack was on a defenseless population that had no bomb shelters, no warning sirens, and no adequate means of caring for the victims. In each case Israel's target was not an opposing army but a civilian society, to destroy Gaza as a functioning community. Truly, Israel's genocidal campaign succeeded in killing everything except the will of the people.

John Ging, head of the U.N. relief operations in Gaza, reported that by the time the bombing eased off, 400,000 Gazans had been without running water for three weeks, 20,000 homes were destroyed or damaged and 100,000 people were homeless. In the town of Beit Hanoun alone 30,000 tons of sewage flowed in the streets every hour. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch accused the Israeli army of using white phosphorous – a banned substance for use against civilians -- that burns human flesh to the bone. Israel also stopped delivery of humanitarian aid. On Feb. 5 the Israeli navy stopped a Lebanese ship from carrying relief supplies and diverted it to Israel in what the Arab League called "an act of piracy."

And yet to a jaundice-eyed West, such war crimes of the Zionist state are nothing but a show of its right of self-defense!

The 2008 annual report of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) entitled "The State of Human Rights in Israel and the Occupied Territories" noted that "Arab Israelis are disadvantaged, persecuted, endangered, and live under third-world conditions."

Israel's political and military leaders are neither shy about their determination for Eretz Israel nor about clarifying that the non-Jews have no future there. It was in 2002, Israel's ex-education minister, Limor Livnat, spelled out in defense of Zionism that Israel is not "just another state like all the other states." She said, "We are not just a state of all its citizens."

Parties like the ruling Likud, Yisrael Beiteinu and National Union consider settling Jews in the entire Palestine as an expression of fulfillment of Zionism. The 1999 Likud Charter, e.g., emphasized the right of settlement in "Judea (and) Samaria", more commonly known as the "West Bank and Gaza." Similarly, their claims of the Jordan River as the permanent eastern border to Israel and Jerusalem as "the eternal, united capital of the State of Israel and only of Israel," do the same. The 'Peace & Security' chapter of the 1999 Likud Party platform "flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river." The chapter continued: "The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state." Yet, Israel's western patrons never ask about ratifying such a Charter!

In a thoroughly researched article "Zionism as a racist ideology" (Counter Punch, Nov. 8/9, 2003) Bill and Kathleen Christison (former high ranking officials with the CIA) rightly observed, "Indeed, the most pernicious aspect of a political philosophy like Zionism that masquerades as democratic is that it requires an enemy in order to survive and, where an enemy does not already exist, it requires that one be created. In order to justify racist repression and dispossession, particularly in a system purporting to be democratic, those being repressed and displaced must be portrayed as murderous and predatory. And in order to keep its own population in line, to prevent a humane people from objecting to their own government's repressive policies, it requires that fear be instilled in the population: fear of "the other," fear of the terrorist, fear of the Jew-hater. The Jews of Israel must always be made to believe that they are the preyed-upon."

And this is exactly what the Zionist state has been doing against the original inhabitants of Israel -- the Palestinians. Like a gifted artist, it has painted them as inherently hostile who want to "destroy Israel" and "throw the Jews into the seas." This justifies eviction of Palestinians, destruction of their homes, discriminating against them and denying democratic rights to them. Situation is created so hopelessly unlivable for this "other" people that they are pushed into violence. And once this happens, they are relegated to the status of "terrorists" with whom no negotiation can be made. Forgotten then are all those conciliatory gestures including the PLO's decision in 1988 to recognize Israel's existence, relinquish Palestinian claims to the three-quarters of Palestine residing inside Israel's pre-1967 borders, and even recognize Israel's "right" to exist there.

Even when negotiations take place, these are conducted hypocritically as part of face-saving measures (to show that Israel is for peaceful solution to hide her intent), and more as a bargaining tactic not only to extract favorable concessions from the weaker party but also from the sponsor (usually the USA). So those negotiations are a necessary and prudent way to weaken the Palestinian position while further enriching and strengthening the Zionist state. These schemes have not changed; they only get reinvigorated with time.

While all the great nations have valued inclusion or plurality, the Zionist state stands for exclusion, racism and xenophobia. In 2006, Israeli cabinet minister Avidgor Lieberman said that Israel had no alternative but to move toward "exchanges of populations and territory, in order to create the most homogenously Jewish state." He also said, "Minorities are the biggest problem in the world." On May 12 2002, Netanyahu dubbed a Palestinian state, in a crude, racist slur, as "Arafat-istan". When it comes to the subject of Israeli Arabs, it's hard to tell where Netanyahu ends and Lieberman begins.

In 1923, Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky, the spiritual father of today's Zionism and the founder of the Jewish Legion, wrote: "Zionism is a colonizing adventure and therefore stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important … to speak Hebrew, but unfortunately it is even more important to be able to shoot — or else I am through with playing colonization." [The Iron Wall]

No one personifies the colonial expansionist policy of Jabotinsky and the Zionist Israel with ruthless cool-headedness better than Benjamin Netanyahu. The crowning moment for him was the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin by a pro-Likud Jewish zealot Yigal Amir in 1995, during peace negotiations between the Israeli state and the PLO. As a beneficiary of that murder, Likud came to power in 1996 and peace talks came to a halt. The same conglomeration of social forces that blocked any prospect of even a shadow of an independent Palestinian state is now in power under Netanyahu's watch. Netanyahu and Lieberman, as spokesmen of the settler movement, are physical embodiments of anti-Palestine, anti-Arab racism.

The civilized people living in vast territories of Asia, Africa and Latin America must take a hard look at today's Zionism and analyze what this evil is doing to the affected people of the region. When they do, like open-minded curious surgeons, they will find nothing pleasant about this cancerous entity called Zionism. It is not accident that a great Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum had said, "Zionism is the greatest form of spiritual impurity. They have polluted the Jewish people with their heresy."

A colonial settler movement like Zionism that uproots indigenous people is an anti-thesis of national liberation movement. Like Myanmarism, it remains one of the last relics of racism that needs to be torn down for greater good of humanity.

It is high time to openly express outrage and revulsion at today's Zionism, which is nothing but a racist policy that aims ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people from their ancestral home. The world body needs to reinstate the U.N. Resolution 3379, because Zionism is uglier today than it was back in 1991 when it was revoked.

President Ahmadinejad's speech on Zionism's culpability to fostering unbridled racism would sound offensive, inflammatory and unacceptable only to those who have no problem sanctioning war crimes of Israel against unarmed Palestinians. Those individuals are closet racists themselves. Shame on them for sustaining the scourge of Zionism!

[chottala.com] 16th Asian Food Fair and Cultural Show in Florida



 

16 the Asian Food Fair and Cultural Show:

A spectacular event that expects to draw more than ten thousand participants and already known as the largest event organized by any organization in the USA

Dear Friends,

We invite you again in 2009 to experience and delight in the various flavors and sensations of the Asian Food Fair and Cultural Show. Mesmerizing colors, dazzling costumes, wondrous music and graceful dances are only a taste of what is to come. It's truly a feast for all the senses. The program itself is microcosm of the various Asian peoples in America and a taste of America's growing eclectic society. This event is an expression of all things Asian like art, dance, dress, and especially food. This is by far the most comprehensive collaboration of the Asian continent in South Florida to date. We here at Bangladesh Association of Florida pride ourselves on trying to represent as many Asian cultures as possible. The Far East meets the West like never before in Palm Beach County.

Like every year, our program has expanded in both breadth and definition, incorporating old favorites with new and enticing additions. The Bangladesh Association of Florida and all our contributors have worked exceptionally hard each and every year for the last sixteen years to ensure the success of the Asian Food Fair and Cultural Show. This growth is end result of all our efforts and all of our guests who have enthusiastically supported us year after year. The Asian Food Fair  has reached new heights since it's conception and this certainly would not have been possible without the efforts of all those who have painstakingly contributed. What was once a simple community festival now has grown into a metropolis of Asian cultures and one the crown jewels of Delray Beach's festivals. It gives us great honor to be present in such a prodigious undertaking and hope you will too enjoy this event as much as we do.

Mohammed Emran                                                                     Sayed Harun   

President , Bangladesh Association of florida.                     Coordinator,16th Asian fair & Cultural Show, Florida

Zionism is Racism – Part 1


Friday April 24 2009 12:42:18 PM BDT

By Habib Siddiqui


The subject of racism is a very touchy one for both its current and former practitioners. It was thus expected that some western countries with nasty past records of racism would boycott the UN racism conference in Geneva, scheduled for April 20, 2009. A couple of days before the event, the USA announced that it would sit out the Geneva forum. Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands soon followed suit. Through their boycotting the session they have sent a blatant message endorsing racism.

President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran was the first government official to take the floor. As soon as he started reciting the Muslim prayer of invocation to begin his speech two pro-Israel Jewish saboteurs, dressed in clown costumes, tossed soft red objects. One may recall that for years before the collapse of the Apartheid regime of South Africa, Israel has been its best ally. Thus, such a rowdy behavior from Zionist hoodlums trying to disrupt the conference was not all that unexpected.

After a brief pause, President Ahmadinejad restarted his talk by accusing that the United States and Europe had helped establish Israel after World War II and victimize Palestinians. He said, "The victorious powers [of the world wars] call themselves the conquerors of the world, while ignoring or down-treading the rights of other nations by the imposition of oppressive laws and international arrangements...Following World War Two, they resorted to making an entire nation homeless on the pretext of Jewish suffering. They sent migrants from Europe, the United States and other parts of the world in order to establish a totally racist government in the occupied Palestine. In compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive, racist regime in Palestine."

This was too much for other former racist countries like France and the UK to swallow, whose diplomats accompanied by some other Europeans walked out of the conference room.

President Ahmadinejad accused the western governments and the United States of defending Israel, calling the Zionist state the "racist perpetrator of genocide." Does such an accusation sound hollow or untrue? Not really if you have been following the trail of murder of unarmed civilians in the Occupied Territories of Palestine. It was not too long ago that the rogue nation had killed some thousand innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip, which can only be termed a cold-blooded orgy of murder, aggression and savagery, demonstrating Israel's long standing racism against the Palestinian people. And yet, none of those western governments and the USA, each with its own blood-stained history of lynching and racism, had the moral fortitude to demand a stop of such wanton murder.

The formula for Israel from day one has been nothing but crass racism that distorts history and uses and abuses religion to sanctify her hatred of the "other" people – the Arab Palestinians. It was, therefore, all kosher that on Nov. 10, 1975, General Assembly of the UN – when it was a functioning world body and not relegated to its deplorable current status as a body to sanction crimes of powerful western nations -- equated Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination. The Resolution 3379 was approved by a vote of 72 to 35 (opposition coming mostly from former colonial and racist regimes).

It took another 16 years when the UN General Assembly by a vote of 111 to 25 (with 13 abstentions and 15 absentees) revoked the Resolution 3379. This time the opposition came only from the Muslim states and Sri Lanka. India and the USSR, like most other countries, voted in favor of revocation, while China, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and Bahrain and ten other nations were absent from voting. By that time, President Sadat of Egypt had already signed the peace treaty with the Zionist state, which triggered Muslim disunity and weakened Palestinian leadership. Israel made revocation central to her demand for participation in the Madrid Peace Conference, which was co-sponsored by the USA and Spain in 1991. Under pressure from the U.S. administration of President George H.W. Bush, the UN passed the resolution of revocation.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, introducing the motion to revoke Resolution 3379, President Bush said, "To equate Zionism with racism is to reject Israel itself, a member of good standing of the United Nations. This body cannot claim to seek peace and at the same time challenge Israel's right to exist. By repealing this resolution unconditionally, the United Nations will enhance its credibility and serve the cause of peace."

As later events have demonstrated over the last 18 years, the U.N. revocation was a serious mistake. It has only emboldened the pariah state to become more belligerent, ruthless and racist, more savage, militaristic and uncompromising. The UN itself has become the lapdog of the veto wielding powers within the Security Council. It has rewarded culprits more often than redressing cries and concerns of the victims of naked aggression, human rights abuse and torture. Not only has the credibility of the UN suffered irreparably, peace appears a far cry, almost like a mirage, today than ever before in our life time.

So, it is important that we understand why the UN in 1975 equated Zionism with racism. Merriam-Webster defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Racism is a symbol of ignorance, rejection or denial about the root of human existence.

The characteristics of Israeli racism have been: (1) claims that the Jews are superior to all other races; (2) grants exclusive right of Jews around the world to Israeli citizenship while denying the non-Jews the same privilege; (3) attributes an inferior social, economic and political status to the non-Jewish population of Israel; (4) encourages immigration of Jews into Israeli and emigration and deportation of non-Jews from Israel; (5) does not allow immigration of non-Jews, not even those who crossed the front line to the Arab side in 1948, i.e., Israel denies the right of return of Palestinians, while she issues citizenship to any Jew (even an atheist) that had no historical connection whatsoever, neither now nor before, with Israel.

Zionism is racism because it rejects unity of mankind by depicting Palestinians as inherently inferior, like "worms", having "genetic defects."

Zionism is racism because it follows Cecil Rhodes' formula for settlement and colonization to the letter and spirit. If racism was wrong for South Africa and Rhodesia it cannot be right for the Zionist state of Israel today.

Zionism is racism because it is based on lies and a disingenuous slogan "a land without a people for a people without land", knowing too well that Palestine was inhabited by the people who today are victims of Israel's ethnic-cleansing campaigns.

Zionism is racism because it fails to acknowledge the Palestinians' unbroken ties to their homeland.

Zionism is racism because through its criminal activities of expulsion of indigenous Palestinians it is forcibly severing a relationship these people had to the land for over four millennia uninterrupted.

Zionism is racism because while it pretends to be a democratic movement its very actions show that it is not for plurality or inclusion of non-Jews in the political system of the government. Democracy cannot be just for one race -- the Jews, while it denies the same right to Palestinian Arabs.

Zionism is racism because while it encourages higher child-birth rate amongst the Jews it considers "Israeli Arabs" as "demographic" "time bombs."

Zionism is racism because it twists history and misuses religion to justify its crimes of stealing and further annexation and occupation of land from its original inhabitants. It is no accident that a 2003 opinion poll in Israel conducted by the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies found that 31% of the Israeli Jews supported the expulsion of the Arab minority, and 46% supported clearance of the territories.

Israel's activities in recent years have also shown that it is not for peaceful coexistence with Palestinians, let alone a two-state solution. It is for complete annexation of the entire territory by demolition of Arab homes and eviction of Arab population, making the entire territory exclusively for its Jewish population.

Israel's inherent racism has been vividly clear to anyone who had visited the Occupied Territories. As was noted in 2003 by The Foundation for Middle East Peace, a Washington-based institution that has been tracking Israeli settlement-building for decades, Israel's relentless increase in territorial control had "compromised not only the prospect for genuine Palestinian independence but also, in ways not seen in Israel's 36-year occupation, the very sustainability of everyday Palestinian life."

[chottala.com] Urgent: Tell Republicans to Reject Muslim hate event




 It is the right to express one's opinion. This is a free world and that is everybody's right.
 
Have you seen " The Divinci's Code" or read "Devils and Demons" these are stories against the Roman Catholic Church, so what, these are stories and we should not ban the writer. If you are so against free throughts and opinion why not move to Iran and countries who do not allow free thoughts and opinion. USA is great just because everyone enjoys that freedom.
 
Please get a life.

Hi,

Did you know that the Florida House Majority leader is bringing to Florida the controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders, producer of the propaganda film Fitna?

Wilders has been banned from entering the U.K. and is being prosecuted in his own country for incitement. He wants to ban the Quran worldwide and and has said that Muhammad would "... in these days be hunted down as a terrorist."

In spite of Wilder's record of incitement, Rep. Hasner is hosting the right-wing politician in Florida giving him a forum to spew his hate.

While we should respect everyone's right to free speech, it's not acceptable for an elected official to promote hatred and division.

Please don't ignore this message, the event is days away, SPEAK OUT NOW.

Use this link to send a quick letter to lawmakers, telling them we had enough of Hasner's hate. IT TAKES ONLY 30 SECONDS.

TELL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO REJECT THE POLITICS OF FEAR AND ATTEND. Click to send the note: http://unitedvoices.com/pushback.html

[chottala.com] Fw: Fwd: [Dahuk]: Mossad linked to 9/11 attacks: Report





---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Isha Khan <bd_mailer@yahoo.com>

Subject: [Dahuk]: Mossad linked to 9/11 attacks: Report

Mossad linked to 9/11 attacks: Report
 
 
 
 
New found information has implicated the Israeli Intelligence agency Mossad in the staging of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. According to a recent article published in the American Free Press weekly, the revelation that the cousin of alleged 9/11 hijacker Ziad al-Jarrah was in fact working as a longtime Mossad agent is proof that Israel had a hand in the terror attacks on US soil.
 
The New York Times recently reported that Lebanese national Ali al-Jarrah, a supposedly earnest Palestinian supporter, had been actually working as a highly valued spy for Israel over the past two decades. Al-Jarrah reportedly admitted that he had been conducting covert espionage activities against Palestinian groups and the Lebanese Hezbollah since 1983.
 
"It is not the family's first brush with notoriety. One of Mr. Jarrah's cousins, Ziad al-Jarrah, was among the 19 hijackers who carried out the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001," said the Times. His connections with one of the key masterminds of the terror attacks have fueled speculations about Israel's recruitment of people claiming to be Muslims as undercover assets.
 
Israeli connections to 9/11, according to the New York Times, can be traced back to the five 'dancing Israelis' who were witnessed jumping and high-fiving with shouts of 'joy and mockery' as Flight 11 and Flight 175 slammed into the World Trade Center in New York. The Israelis were reportedly held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released after they were suspected of being Mossad agents.
 
Citing two former CIA operatives, the Forward weekly then reported that at least two of the detained Israelis were found to be members of a Mossad surveillance team. "There was no question but that [the order to close down the investigation] came from the White House. It was immediately assumed at CIA headquarters that this basically was going to be a cover-up so that the Israelis would not be implicated in any way in 9/11," the weekly stated. At least 2,970 people died on the morning of September 11, most of whom were civilians.
 
Former Italian prime minister Francesco Cossiga has touched on the issue, suggesting that the events of 9/11 were none other than a CIA-Mossad inside job. "All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned by the CIA and the Mossad in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part ... in Iraq [and] Afghanistan," the Italian ex-premier was quoted by Corriere della Sera as saying ( http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/9-11_solved118.html )
 
His argument was further strengthened by leaked reports that employees of Israeli telecom firm Odigo -- which provides instant messaging services -- received a warning two hours before the attacks on the World Trade Towers and forewarned Jews to stay away from work that day. Odigo headquarters is situated 2 blocks away from the former location of the World Trade Towers.
