Thanks for the explanation, what is LIHOP stand for ? <br>so the demolition theory is not so popular ? I sense it does have something to it, if you think that there was warning that was not acted on, then someone else may have "assisted" the action, so that it becomes more spectacular and effective in terms of devastation. <br>I am from Jaffa, which is part of Tel Aviv. We don't have a mill here, you just have to think for yourself and read between the lines. It is a HUGE taboo to even joke about these matters. The only ones who do it openly are Palestinians, and they are basically the best source of alternative information with respect to Israeli scams of the sort you discuss. Another "millieu" of sorts is the extreme religious wing, while they are super patriots, they are also more adept at not believing the government, cause they ahve their own network of information in their synagogues or what not. They were also victimized by the government's scams now, with the disengagement plan and so they became paranoid as a group. But the "regular" ISraeli JEws would not dare say any of this out loud even if they think it and have doubts. There is a LOT of control and fear. Its either you are a reliable citizen OR a traitor/loonie. Very difficult situation here in terms of freedom of thought, speech etc. One would rather play dumb than lose the privileges. I've been around and about lots of places, and so i look at who is where, and then you can understand a lot. Like, if you see who was in NYC the days before, or who flew from here to there, etc., and there are people who are known to be "affiliated" with this crap or that crap, you can know a lot. But to say that out loud, or should I say, even THINK that (sometimes) is scary. Israelis tend to "split" their awareness so as not to deal with this kind of knowledge and process it. You don't want to get into trouble, but inside, many people here KNOW a lot. But I don't know if I am making this clear enough, its like a wife that sees her husband in the coffee shop kissing a blond, and she "blocks" it out, or brushes it as "i am probably imagining this". This is a very common situation when you have a conflict between what you know and what you WANT to know. Most people, if the stakes of processing knowledge is too high, would maintain this "split" consciousness. This is how holocaust happened and this is how sexual predators mollest dozens of children, etc. Predators, spies, tyrants...are very aware of how to create a zone of fear based denial, and in that lee way (sp?) they can perform the worst atrocities. This is also the principle of censorship and official secrecy. They know you know, but there's a difference between knowing in the heart and spelling it out. <br>So, in Israel that "twilight zone" has increases and stretched recently and almost the entire governance, military and diplomacy are thrown in that place, where nobody want to verablize the atrocities, corruptions, scamps and mafia crimes they KNOW. ZOmbies.<br>So, actually, if one is just willing to step out of the comma, any average, well educated and well connected Israeli can be a clearinghouse of information on global scale. Its all out there. Its a small place. <br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=israelirealities@rigorousintuition>israelirealities</A> at: 10/13/05 6:41 am<br></i>
