Then, an estimate from the list of companies and their proximate composition, even an order of magnitude, would dispel any such rumor.

About one-third of those who died in the Towers were Jewish. But it will take more than mere facts to dispel these rumors while so many in the Arab world want to spread them and believe them.

how many of the 6,000 killed were Israeli, to begin with, would be one good place to start. Those names are public now.


Difficult to say anyway. For example I have a friend of many years named Goldstein.

Goldstein traces his heritage to Dublin and is president of the local Holy Name Society. If you were only to read his name, however, you would label him as a Hebrew yet he knows the Latin Mass as well as any acolyte I ever served with.

Anyway, it's all besides the point. If Israel was a Christian country I doubt it would make much difference to the terrorists.
