This article is six months old and may have been posted before but it is the first time I have seen it so apologies if it is not new. There are a lot of text links (hyperlinks) at the site above.

Are Those Who Question 9/11 Anti-Semites?
Anti-semitism is one of the most frequent allegations levied by defenders of the government's version of 9/11 against people questioning that account.
Is it true? Are 9/11 activists really anti-semites?
Well, prominent Rabbi Michael Lerner and other Jewish leaders are calling for 9/11 truth. Indeed, Rabbi Lerner says that uncovering the truth of 9/11 has the power to bring positive, lasting change to our nation and to our world.
And many of the leading members of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and other groups questioning 9/11 are Jewish. As are some of the other prominent individuals who have called for a deeper investigation into the events of 9/11. Indeed, some of the most-committed and hard-working 9/11 activists, such as Jon Gold and many others, are Jewish.
Moreover, the charges of anti-semitism are clearly illogical. For example, a book has been labelled as anti-semitic even though its co-editor is Jewish and it contains contributions from 4 Jewish writers.
So that must mean that these are "self-loathing" Jews, right? No, actually. I know many of these people quite well, and they are wholly comfortable being Jewish. Many are proud of their heritage and their faith.
As former Secretary of State Colin Powell once stated, “It is not anti-Semitic to criticize the policies of the state of Israel.” Presumably, criticizing illegal acts by Mossad or other Israeli services would also be acceptable.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with having a debate based upon whether or not there are credible facts justifying the hypothesis that portions of the 9/11 attacks were subcontracted out by rogue elements within the U.S. government to people associated with Mossad or other Israeli intelligence services, just as it is reasonable to discuss whether or not there are facts implicating British or other allied intelligence services in aiding and abetting the attacks.
There are admittedly a very small number of people claiming that they are for 9/11 truth but making anti-semitic remarks. However, they are shunned by the overwhelming majority of 9/11 activists who abhor anti-semitism. People who say "the Jews did it" and then use a bunch of anti-semitic and derogatory language are probably government infiltrators. Again, however, debating factual evidence one way or the other concerning the possible involvement of people affiliated with an allied intelligence service -- British or Israeli -- is not anti-semitic ... it is Constitutionally-protected free speech. |

good article, i have not read it before,
ofcourse the word SEMETIC refers to people of the semetic race which is Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Druze etc. It does not refer to most Jews who are most commonly Ashkenazi or to a lesser extent Sephardic or Hasidic.
They should ofcourse use the phrase anti zionist.
As the article correctly states even real Jews blame the zionists for 9/11. Follow the money. The main beneficiary - Lawrence Silberstein is a former zionist fundraiser. And his partner - Israeli - Frank Lowy a former fighter in Israel’s Golani Brigade,
Larry and Frank Lowy are mass murderers and the biggest robbers in history and the biggest ever insurance fraudsters and need to be sent to the electric chair for their crimes.
and Port Authority Chairman Lewis M. Eisenberg, who authorized the transfer of the leases.
