Google AI and 9/11 and the rogue terrorist state

[Craig234]

On 9/11, a woman saw and filmed a van with five men from the rogue terrorist state who were filming and appearing to celebrate the planes flying into the WTC towers. They were later arrested, held for a while on immigration charges, and deported to their state.

I had wanted to link to this incident, and googled on the name it's known by, 'the dancing israelis' and '9/11'.

This is where it gets weird. Google has ties to the rogue terrorist state and has been accused of various things about it, including censoring/firing their employees who criticize the genocide, and altering search engine results.

I had never seen an error from Google's AI summary, but for the first time on that search, after some information including wrongly calling it an "Anti-Semitic" conspiracy theory, just after it posted a headline about to discuss the allegations, it had a cryptic error "oops, something went wrong."

I tried refreshing several times, and each time it displayed a different amount of the information and the same error. Once it just said an AI summary is not available for the topic.

It sure looks like something weird is going on, which would fuel 'conspiracy theories' about Google manipulating search results for the topic. The first, longest AI summary sample it returned:

The "dancing Israelis" refers to a 9/11 conspiracy theory that claims Israeli intelligence agents were arrested celebrating the World Trade Center attacks and had foreknowledge of them. The core of the claim is based on the 2001 arrest of five Israeli men in a van in New Jersey.

The arrest in New Jersey

• The report: On September 11, 2001, a witness reported seeing a group of men on the roof of a moving van in a Jersey City parking lot filming and seemingly celebrating as the towers burned across the river.
• The detention: Police stopped the van and found the men had cameras, and photos were developed showing the men celebrating with the burning towers in the background. They were held for 71 days on immigration violations before being deported back to Israel.
• The van's connection: The van belonged to an Israeli-owned moving company, Urban Moving Systems. Some US intelligence officials suspected the company was a front for an intelligence operation.

The conspiracy theory
The incident with the van quickly morphed into an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, which alleges that the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, orchestrated or had foreknowledge of the attacks. This theory claims the arrested Israelis were Mossad agents documenting the event.
Key elements of the conspiracy theory include:

Oops, something went wrong.

Copilot didn't have any problem with the topic.

'the dancing israelis' and '9/11'

The phrase “the dancing Israelis” refers to a real incident on September 11, 2001, that has since become the subject of conspiracy theories. Here's what is factually known:

The Incident​

• On 9/11, a woman in New Jersey reported seeing five men on top of a van, appearing to celebrate while filming the burning Twin Towers.
• The van was traced to Urban Moving Systems, an Israeli-owned company.
• The men were arrested later that day and held for 71 days on immigration violations before being deported to Israel.

What Was Found​

• Reports say they had cameras, multiple passports, and box cutters—standard tools for movers, but suspicious in context.
• The FBI investigated and concluded there was no evidence they had prior knowledge of the attacks.

Conspiracy Theory vs. Reality​

• Some conspiracy theorists claim the men were Mossad agents with foreknowledge of the attacks.
• These claims have been widely debunked. The FBI found no link between the men and the 9/11 plot.
• The theory has been criticized for fueling antisemitic narratives, despite the lack of supporting evidence2.

Why It Persists​

• The unusual behavior and timing sparked speculation.
• The story has been amplified online, often stripped of its original context and facts.
