I'm not big on 'ambush journalism' and that's not what this was, but when a local KABC TV news crew interviewed me about a local jewelry store crash & grab heist near Los Angeles, I thought I'd have some fun with it. So after their interview I conducted a brief interview of my own, and asked the reporter if he ever heard of another group of bandits who were the only people arrested in New York City on September 11, 2001: The Dancing Israelis!
The ABC7 reporter was Q McCray; a nice professional gentleman. He's described on their website as "a general assignment reporter for ABC7 Eyewitness News." This question about the dancing Israelis was not to disparage him, but rather to illustrate two things: 1. that not many people may even know about these facts, including the people that the public supposedly gets its' important news from; and two, that we can keep these important issues in the public arena, even 14 years later.
"ABC's TV News Program 20/20 did an episode on the matter June 21, 2002,: "Five Israeli men arrested soon after 9/11 might have been working for Israeli intelligence, but likely did not know beforehand about the attacks". They also ran a news story titled The White Van. ABC's 20/20 interviewed a former CIA chief for the segment:
"Vince Cannistraro is a former chief of operations for counter-terrorism with the Central Intelligence Agency. Now he's a consultant with ABC News. He says many in the US intelligence community believe that some of the men arrested in the white van were in the US working for Israeli intelligence. They speculate that Urban Moving was being used by Israel as an intelligence front."
I suggest reading the entire transcript of the 20/20 segment because it is very interesting and gives a lot of details. The five Israelis were eventually released after lengthy interrogations: "Sources tell 20/20, after high-level negotiations between Israeli and US government officials, a settlement was worked out."

[Note that I do not actually talk so slow, (actually I'm a motormouth) but this was a deliberate ploy to draw the reporter in and get him interested in what I was trying to say- relating it to a robbery- and as you can see, it works like fish to bait. ;-) lol playing 'dumb' or innocent is a very effective way to disarm people.
Case in point is the cop interview I provided which totally debunks the interviewer's attempts at validating his debunked conspiracy theory...
The interview you posted, which I heard at afp probably years before you ever heard of the dancing israelis, is with the cop who arrested the israelis. Nothing he says debunks anyy facts of the case, in fact it only affirms them.
The cop is scared, which is why he admits he will never talk again about it & admits he does not know what happened to them after he arrested them.
It is public record though, since the fbi report was declassified along with the local police report. In addition, the federal lawsuit, although not available to the general public such as yourself, is readily available to anyone who knows how to access federal docket records. I've actually read it, & you're very degraded to try & deny any of the long admitted facts of this case.
They did have explosives material, boxcutters, fake passports, 5k cash, video and photos of them smiling in front of the towers. Their jew lawyer blamed immaturity. Abc played the clip where the israelis said they were there to document the event.
They later tried to sue the us gov and bureau of prisons and ashcroft for civil rightss abuses, but lost.
Any other questions you need answers to, so that your confusion may be lessened?
I heard of the Dancing Israeli's within a very short period of time around of 9/11. I would suggest that you re-read these reports...hopefully your grasp of English has improved since you last read them:
-No explosives -No video -No film of Towers before the attack
Big huge BS on the 1st item. "Tons of explosives" were found in one of their white vans on the onramp of the George Washington Bridge, as reported by various MSM outlets.
"Tons of explosives" were found in one of their white vans on the onramp of the George Washington Bridge, as reported by various MSM outlets.
...and then retracted...
QUESTION: Mayor, do you know anything about the report about the possible resources that they found in New Jersey?
GIULIANI: Yes. I think the Police Commissioner was able to get information about that.
BERNARD KERIK, NEW YORK CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER: I just got a confirmation from the Chief of Detectives, he's reach out to the FBI. They have confirmed that someone has been stopped in New Jersey, three men in a van. However, there was no explosives in the van. All right. They're being held for questioning.
