Perfectly ok? There are plenty of us who have our fun with the Tin Foil Hat (TFH) brigade here on FR. Read those threads, and realize that of course the majority of the posts will be by fellow TFHers, but there are plenty of debunkers at work. And most of those debunkers are the more respected freepers.
but God forbid, some FOREIGNERS do the exact same thing, and they're ridiculed.
And they rightfully should be!
May be nothing but perhaps a local FReeper can check it out?
An "Israeli national" is not the same thing as an Israeli.
One can be Palestinian and still be an Israeli national.
Granted, I'm just some idiot sitting at a computer. The people with more credibility than I who do think it was deliberate include the survivors, then Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer, then U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Thomas Porter, former Sec of State Dean Rusk and many more.
And there have not, to my knowledge, been anywhere close to 11 congressional hearings. If I remember correctly, there has not even been one, full-scale & public investigation by Congress.
What was the motive?
The motive, according to many of those who firmly believe that the attack was deliberate (this is hardly a new theory or accusation), was that Israel did not want the U.S. gathering intelligence.
I believe that there are still many unanswered questions that need looked into.
LOL! How about a tinfoil turban?
Ugh. Don't get me started on our support of/relations with Saudi Arabia (or China or....)
Believe me, as a NYC resident who personally witnessed 9/11 here and who's wife worked across the street from the WTC and had the misfortune (understatement) of fleeing from collapsing buildings on 9/11 and watching people jumping to their deaths, I am as concerend with the security of America as anyone.
And DON'T EVER even sort of accuse me from being from New Jersey again.
Hasn't this been debunked already? Weren't we told that it was cigarette lighter residue or something?
maybe you'd care to state just what influence they do have? it isn't none and it's more than a lot, IMO.

our money returned to us. check out their foreign aid amounts.
How much money have the Opecker Princes shoveled into the off shore accounts of Da$$hole. Da$$hole is their best investment in America after Carter and the Clintoon's!
How many of the phoney conservative opeders have been funded by the Opecker Princes? How much have the fish wraps of America received from the Opecker Princes in ad $'s to praise the wonders of the Islamic Mass Murderers? Time will tell, and those who have taken these 40 pieces of silver will pay a terrible price for their traitor actions against America and their pro Islamic stances.
When we eventually find out who and what so called enviral organizations have been bought out by the Opecker Princes, reality will strike very hard on those who have/are paid to push the lies of the Islamic Mass Murdering Thugs.
Hi all, President of the Nitpicking Society here to inform you that it wasn't "their car". It was a rental truck.
But the Whidbey Island thread has taken a turn for the slightly-more-interesting turn as of yesterday, it's worth a re-read.
On May 13, Fox News reported that the police pulled over two Israeli nationals who were driving a truck “near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station and found to have traces of TNT on the gearshift and traces of RDX plastic explosive on the steering wheel”.
