apparatus were complicit in the attack, and that the state of Israel and its American agents were heavily
involved."
In a July 2011 interview between Barrett and Alan Sabrosky on "Truth Jihad Radio," the two repeatedly refer to
Israel's alleged role in the 9/11 attacks and Zionist control of the government and media.
Barrett and Sabrosky agreed that the way to expose Israel's alleged crimes is to tie that country to the 9/11
terrorist attacks. Barrett notes that he's been trying to get people to look at Israel's supposed role in the 9/11
attacks for years.
VIDEOS, DVDS and WEB SITES
Anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracists have released a flood of videos, DVDs and Web sites to promote the notion that
Jews and Israel were behind the 9/11 attacks. Video Web sites like YouTube and Google Video have become
particularly popular ways to find audiences for the conspiracies. Two videos in particular, Missing Links: The
Definitive Truth About 9/11, produced by Mike Delaney, and War by Deception, by Ryan Dawson, make
virulently anti-Semitic claims about the 9/11 attacks. The two films, both over two hours long, have been viewed
by tens of thousands of people despite their length.
In "War by Deception," made originally in 2008 and updated in 2011, Dawson presents the "standard" anti-
Semitic conspiratorial view of the 9/11 attacks as a false flag operation carried out by Israel. He lays out one
conspiracy theory after another that blame Jews and the Mossad for the 9/11 attacks and for the subsequent
war in Iraq. Dawson, who runs an anti neo-conservative forum, paints the Israeli government and Jewish
members of the Bush Administration as part of an evil cabal that wanted to control the world. In his narration,
Dawson asks "Who is compounding the lies? Who is continuing the narrative? Who has the power to cover it
up?" His answer is that the "source of lies" about the 9/11 attacks is "Israeli intelligence and the Zionist cabal."
Like other figures who promote anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories, Dawson's views about Israel's alleged
involvement in the 9/11 attacks are linked to his view of Israel as a "brutal apartheid regime." In the video, he
also attacks neo-conservatives for passing legislation that took away Americans' freedoms:
9/11 was the new Pearl Harbor that the neo-cons yearned for. It was 9/11 that acted as the catalyst for
both war and sweeping pre-written legislation to create a security panic state which stripped away civil
liberties and constitutional rights for the sake of the military industrial complex.
Dawson also promotes the idea that the director of the 9/11 Commission appointed by Bush to lead the
investigation into the attacks, Philip Zelikow, was a "Zionist warmonger" and that the commission was a sham
that covered up Israel's role in 9/11. "We are being manipulated," Dawson claims, "by a tiny minority in a global
game of theft and murder of our fellow man."
The 2008 conspiracy video "Missing Links," on the other hand, takes a different tack in blaming Jews and Israel
for carrying out the attacks. Produced by Mike Delaney, "Missing Links" is even more explicitly anti-Semitic than
"War by Deception," because it focuses not just on particular Jews in the Bush administration but rather
demonizes all Jews. The video depicts a mythical group, the sayanim, defined in the video as a network of
everyday Jews who carry out nefarious deeds to serve Israel and the Jews.
