Decade of Deceit: Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later - ADL

Aug 30, 2011 — In the ten years since the September 11 terrorist attacks on America, conspiracy theories surrounding the attacks have become an entrenched ...

CONSPIRACISTS BEHIND THE THEORIES

Within days of the 9/11 attacks, anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories began appearing in the United States and
abroad. In the Middle East, Al-Manar, a Lebanese television station linked to Hezbollah, was one of the main
sources for the false claim that 4,000 Israelis had been told to stay home on the day of the terrorist attacks.

Al-Manar: Hezbollah Television
Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar, broadcasts the terrorist group's messages of hate and violence,
disseminates anti-Semitic and anti-American propaganda and glorifies suicide bombings to millions of viewers in the Arab world, Europe and South East Asia for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The station, which operates out of Beirut, Lebanon, was founded in 1991 and started broadcasting...

Al-Manar broadcasts Hezbollah's messages to an estimated daily audience of 10-15 million viewers. During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in 2003, Al-Manar aired Ash-Shatat ("the Diaspora"), a 30-part series produced in Syria and based on the anti-Semitic literature the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
Al-Manar Manar also appears to be the source of the conspiracy theory that claimed that 4,000 Israelis were
absent from their jobs at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, implying that Israel was responsible for the terrorist attacks of that day. In addition to broadcasting the conspiracy, Al-Manar also
posted the story on its Web site, which enables viewers to watch live streaming video of the network. The September 11 conspiracy story was later picked up by extremists around the world.
Al-Manar often airs interviews and speeches, given by Hezbollah leaders, that incite violence. In several addresses aired during a Shi'i festival in February 2006, for example, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah condemned a Danish newspaper that published cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad. Nasrallah urged European parliaments to "draft laws that ban newspapers from insulting the Prophet" and warned, "Today we are protesting...but we are ready to shed our blood."
On March 24, 2008, Al-Manar broadcasted a speech by Nasrallah to mark the end of the 40-day mourning period for Imad Mughniyah, a Hezbollah military commander killed the previous month. In his speech, Nasrallah stated that "The Zionist entity can be wiped out of existence," warned of "Zionist-American
propaganda" and spoke about the "bloody war of consciousness" in which Israel, helped by some Arabs and Europeans, has "infiltrated" the media. Nasrallah also stated that "Mughniyah will remain the pillar for the resistance in his martyrdom as he was the pillar of the resistance during his life, his jihad and his work. We...will continue to follow his path."

Hezbollah has also formed alliances with the region's narco-terrorists and drug-trafficking rings, which use
their proceeds to help finance the terrorist organization. According to a report prepared by the
Professional Research Division of the Library of Congress at the behest of the Defense Department,
Hezbollah bases its fundraising activities with Latin American drug rings on an Iranian fatwa issued in the
1980s, which reportedly states, "We are making these drugs for Satan – America and the Jews. If we cannot
kill them with guns, so we will kill them with drugs."
Since the mid-1990s, a number of drug traffickers have been arrested...

Hezbollah's Antisemitic Rhetoric

Hezbollah aims to eliminate the State of Israel and cultivate hatred against the Jewish people through antisemitic incitement.

In a 2002 speech, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said that all the Jews are banded together in Israel, making it possible to fight them when they are grouped together and saving the trouble of chasing them around the world.

In another speech, aired on Al-Manar TV in 2010, Nasrallah openly and publicly denied the Holocaust. The IHRA working definition lists Holocaust denial as an example of antisemitism.

Naim Qassem, Hezbollah's second in command, once said history proved that, regardless of the Zionist question, Jews are people with evil ideas.

Nabih Berri, the Lebanese parliament speaker and the leader of the pro-Hezbollah movement Amal, made an anti-Jewish racist remark in an interview he gave in June 2019 to Al-Joumhouria. Berri said that, in order to identify a Jew, one has to throw a piece of gold at the feet of a pregnant woman. If the fetus jumps out of her womb to pick it up, he said, then it is a Jew.

Celebrating Al Quds Day around the world and particularly in Europe constitutes another antisemitic manifestation. A recent march in Germany, where antisemitism is on the rise, saw some 1,000 attendees, including Hezbollah operatives calling for Israel's destruction. One need only see the Stars of David engulfed in flames and hear the death chants to understand this has less to do with Israel and more to do with a deep-seated demonization of the Jewish people.

General Overview:

Antisemitism: In November 2018 the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) published a report on antisemitism. The report said that antisemitism may be manifested in various forms, including verbal and physical abuse, threats, harassment, discrimination and unfair treatment, property damage and bodily injury, graffiti, other forms of expression as well as on the web. Antisemitic incidents, which are in fact hate crimes, violate basic human rights, including liberty, human dignity, and the right for freedom of thought, conscience, and religion provided to all people in Europe under ECHR. Wherever Hezbollah sets up shop, its goal is to carry out hate crimes against Jewish and Israeli targets around the world in the form of terrorist attacks...

Nabih Berri, the Lebanese parliament speaker and the leader of the pro-Hezbollah movement Amal, made an anti-Jewish racist remark in an interview he gave in June 2019 to Al-Joumhouria. Berri said that, in order to identify a Jew, one has to throw a piece of gold at the feet of a pregnant woman. If the fetus jumps out of her womb to pick it up, he said, then it is a Jew..

Incitement against its opponents, namely the United States and Israel is another aspect of the organization's activities in Europe. Every year, the organization's Secretary-General himself calls on the organization's operatives and supporters to participate in marches, such as the "Al Quds Day march," around the world. This activity, along with incitement in mosques and in Shi'ite cultural centers throughout Europe, contributes to an increase in antisemitism throughout the continent. Josef Schuster, head of the German Central Council of Jews, said that 'Al Quds' demonstrations "transport nothing but antisemitism and hatred of Israel." In the past two months alone, four Shi'ite cultural institutions were shut down in France for incitement...
