Dave over at Soccer Dad sadly reports something that is just all too common -- the scapegoating "Jewish conspiracy": Meryl Yourish caught a couple of bloggers repeating a bogus story that Israelis had been evacuated from one of the Jordanian hotels prior to terror blasts. (Capt. Ed was one of the bloggers, but he indeed expressed skepticism about the claim at the onset. And, he's since published a retraction.)
Unfortunately, the "story" was first reported in the "New York Times of Israel," Ha’aretz. (Which should be reason enough to invoke skepticism.) It later published an "explanation" of sorts, but too late -- you can just bet the Arab "press" will have a field day with it. And dudes like Amiri Baraka.
UPDATE: Amazing -- Al Jazeera issued the explanation that Ha’aretz did.
UPDATE 2: Non-Jewish consipracy semi-related bit -- a Brigham Young professor believes 9/11 was an "inside job" with bombs being set off when the planes hit the towers:
"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes — which were actually a diversion tactic," he writes. "Muslims are (probably) not to blame for bringing down the WTC buildings after all," Jones writes.
Muslims not blame ...? Whaa? Oh, I get it -- the "Muslim" hijackers were really US agents who flew the planes into the Towers and Pentagon! I see!
