The Truth About the “Dancing Israelis” and 9/11

THE LIE

Israel orchestrated 9/11, proven by the “dancing Israelis” and a global consensus that the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition.

THE TRUTH

Israel did not orchestrate 9/11. It was orchestrated by Islamic terrorists and celebrated by Muslims worldwide. There were no “dancing Israelis” and there is no global consensus that the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition.

BACKGROUND

On July 17, 2026, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters went on The Tucker Carlson Show and accused Israel of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks. (The Tucker Carlson Show)

Waters told Carlson that “the one thing we know for sure” is that the Twin Towers didn’t fall because of the plane crashes. He claimed that every physicist, engineer, and architect on Earth agrees it was “just not possible” for the planes to bring down the North and South Towers. From there, he pointed to the old “dancing Israelis” story as proof Israel orchestrated the attacks, a theory Tucker himself has repeated. (Tucker Carlson Network)

The “dancing Israelis” story involves five Israeli nationals: Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Omer Marmari, Yaron Shmuel, and Oded Ellner. They were arrested on 9/11 in New Jersey after a woman said she saw them filming the burning towers from a van rooftop and thought they looked “jovial.” They were found with boxcutters.In the aftermath of 9/11, reports circulated that the FBI rounded up “hundreds” of Israelis, fueling theories about Israel’s involvement.

TRUTH EXPLAINED

The claim that “every physicist, engineer, and architect” agrees planes couldn’t have caused the collapses is false. It comes from one fringe petition group, not the engineering profession. (Grokipedia)

The real investigation, conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) over several years, found that the planes tore off fireproofing and gutted structural columns, and the fires that followed cooked the weakened steel until the towers gave way. No bombs were required. (NIST)

Investigators found no seismic blast signature and no explosive residue, and the collapse speed matched gravity-driven structural failure rather than the instant “free fall” that demolition theories require. The American Society of Civil Engineers backed these findings. (NIST)

The “dancing Israelis” were five employees of a moving company who had box cutters because it was a tool of their job, and they were filming the disaster from a rooftop when a woman reported them. The FBI interrogated and polygraphed the five men for weeks and found nothing tying them to the attacks. They were ultimately deported for overstaying their visas, not for terrorism. (The Jewish Chronicle), (New York Times)

No footage actually shows anyone “dancing.” The narrative was invented by the father of Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers. (The Jewish Chronicle)

If celebrating the 9/11 attacks were proof of orchestrating them, then the widespread celebrations by Muslims worldwide should be added proof that Muslims carried out 9/11. Yet neither Tucker Carlson nor Roger Waters applies that same logic to those celebrations. (X), (AP)

The “hundreds of Israelis rounded up” claim really refers to about 60 people detained for visa and work violations, part of the same immigration dragnet that swept up thousands of others after 9/11. None were tied to the attack. (The JC), (NYT)

The bipartisan 9/11 Commission conducted an exhaustive investigation and traced the attacks to al-Qaeda, whose own leaders claimed responsibility. No serious investigation has ever found an Israeli hand in the plot. (9/11 Commission)

To believe this theory, you would need proof that Mossad worked with al-Qaeda, an organization built on hatred of Israel; proof Israel recruited and trained 19 hijackers without leaving a trace; proof that NIST’s engineers got the physics wrong; and a motive that survives the fact that the resulting wars made Iran, Israel’s archenemy, stronger.

QUOTES

“Both the Newark and the New York Divisions conducted a thorough investigation which determined that none of the Israelis had any information on prior knowledge regarding the bombing of the World Trade Center. Furthermore, Newark and New York determined that none of the Israelis were actively engaged in clandestine intelligence activities in the United States.” — FBI field report

“NIST found no corroborating evidence for alternative hypotheses suggesting that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition…photographs and videos from several angles clearly showed that the collapse initiated at the fire and impact floors and that the collapse progressed from the initiating floors downward, until the dust clouds obscured the view.” — NIST report

TAKEAWAY

The lie that Israel orchestrated 9/11 is a toxic conspiracy theory devoid of evidence. In reality, 9/11 was meticulously planned and executed by al-Qaeda’s Islamic terrorists, whose leaders proudly claimed responsibility, while segments of the Muslim world, including Palestinians in the streets of East Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, openly celebrated the slaughter by handing out sweets and cheering. Believing this conspiracy requires ignoring al-Qaeda’s own admissions, the bipartisan 9/11 Commission’s findings, and basic logic. It would mean believing Mossad secretly partnered with its jihadist enemies, trained 19 hijackers without leaving a trace, and orchestrated wars that ultimately strengthened Iran—Israel’s most dangerous regional adversary.
