One of the most persistent 9/11 conspiracy theories claims that Israel — or Jewish Americans — had advance knowledge of the September 11th attacks. Gerald Posner says the evidence does not support it.

In this highlight from The Brief, Shabbos Kestenbaum asks Posner about the so-called “Dancing Israelis,” the five Israeli men detained in New Jersey after the attacks, and whether Israel could have known in advance. Posner explains what the original police report said, how the “laughing Israelis” narrative spread, and why he believes the theory collapses under scrutiny.

The conversation then turns to Larry Silverstein, the World Trade Center lease, the insurance payout, the infamous “pull it” quote, and why World Trade Center 7 was expected to collapse before it came down.
