while Iranian leader's comments serve as straw man

Former Israeli Prime Minister and current leader of the opposition
Benjamin Netanyahu has stated during a speech that the 9/11 attacks
were a good thing for Israel.
Israel's Ma'ariv
newspaper reported that Netanyahu, leader of the
Likud party, told an assembly at Bar Ilan university:
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that
is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American
struggle in Iraq."
Thousands of dead Americans and millions more slaughtered
Iraqis, along with a war torn and divided country is beneficial
to Israel, according to Mr Netanyahu.
The newspaper also reported he later added that
the events "swung American public opinion in our favor."
In a display of utter disrespect, the staunch Zionist is reported
to have made the comments at the conference on the division of
Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

Netanyahu's comments echo a previous statement he made on the
very day of 9/11, as reported in the New
York Times, September 12th:
Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the
United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime
minister, replied: “It's very good.”
Then he edited himself: “Well, not very good, but it
will generate immediate sympathy.”
Netanyahu has strong ties with leading American Neoconservatives
such as PNAC signatory Richard Perle, former Pentagon official
Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, former Middle East Adviser to
US Vice President Dick Cheney.
In 2002 these men, as representatives of right wing think tank
The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, authored
a paper entitled A
Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,
for the purpose of advising Netanyahu on how to "engage every
possible energy on rebuilding Zionism."
The document urged Israel to aggressively seek the downfall of
their Arab neighbors by exploiting the inherent tensions within
and among the Arab States. The first step was the removal of Saddam
Hussein in Iraq.
The paper suggested that “Israel will not only contain
its foes; it will transcend them,” postulating that a war
with Iraq would destabilize the entire Middle East, allowing governments
in Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and other countries to be replaced.
In other developments today, the Iranian leader President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, has once again questioned
the official version of events surrounding 9/11.
"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in
New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people
had been killed but never published their names," Ahmadinejad
is reported to have said.
In a speech broadcast live on state television, Ahmadinejad called
the attack a pretext that was used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Though it remains to be seen whether Ahmadinejad's comments have
once again been mistranslated
or taken out of context, it is expected that they
will be seized upon by those seeking to demonize the 9/11 truth
movement, which has recently gained increased publicity via endorsements
from notable public figures such as former Minnesota
Governor Jesse Ventura and legendary American singer
Willie
Nelson.
Unlike Ahmadinejad, activists within the 9/11 truth movement
have never questioned the death toll resulting
from the attacks, which is a patently ludicrous thing to do, and
have worked closely with first responders groups, such as the
Feal
Good Foundation, and victims families groups, such
as the
Coalition of 9/11 Families, in order to push for
a new investigation.
