Reported in Haaretz - Israel News: "The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday reported . . . Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan University that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.
'We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,' Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events 'swung American public opinion in our favor.'
Meanwhile, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the veracity of the September 11 attacks Thursday, calling it a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq."
BBSNews reports": "This comes on the heels of the visit to the region by Jimmy Carter who has been shunned by Israel's current government leaders, with the exception of Shimon Peres, a three time Prime Minister of Israel who, at least during the Carter visit, has been called a mere figurehead or 'ceremonial' President of Israel in an attempt to lessen the view that there is any support for Carter's mission in Israel at all."
