Ron Paul website promotes "Israel did 9/11" libel

The Ron Paul campaign (yes -- they stay in operation, presidential election year or not) is using one of its websites to promote crazy conspiracy theories blaming Israel for 9/11. In a post dated January 5, 2010, the Daily Paul website has the following posted currently on their blog. From what I infer, the writer refers to a storage space at New York's JFK airport, where, apparently, some of the 9/11 debris was stored, and which, apparently, had been used by a now-defunct airline which formerly flew to Israel. The Zim Corporation referred to apparently is an Israeli shipping firm which moved their U.S. offices from the World Trade Center to Norfolk, VA just before 9/11. Sounds like solid evidence of guilt to me.

...I would like to call your attention to ... the proprietorship of Hangar 17, where the only known 9/11 evidence still in existence is locked away from public scrutiny.

When viewed from a certain angle, Hangar 17 in JFK airport has a prominent, unfaded billboard that says ” Tower Air “. Tower Airlines was an * Israeli * airline that went bankrupt in 2000 . None other than Hangar 17 housed Tower Air’s then brand-new corporate headquarters.

Why does 9/11 evidentiary material that would provide clues such as the absence or presence of Super Thermite or other explosive material in the dust from the blasts sit for “safekeeping” in the former Executive Headquarters of a ten-year-defunct Israeli front organization that contracted heavily for the U.S. Defense Department and still has an unfaded sign hanging on the building?

Mike Ruppert reported that the Israeli container and freight-shipping corporation Zim , who occupied several floors in the Twin Towers and is widely known to do extensive operational support work for the Mossad, vacated all their offices days before the attacks – and they vacated in violation of their lease.

Of course, this is nothing new. Ron Paul has a history of promoting outrageous conspiracy theories blaming Israel for attacking the World Trade Center based on the flimsiest of evidence and logic. He did it in his newsletter, with reference to the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. According to the L.A. Jewish Journal:

A 1987 issue of Paul’s Investment Letter called Israel “an aggressive, national socialist state,” and a 1990 newsletter discussed the “tens of thousands of well-placed friends of Israel in all countries who are willing to wok [sic] for the Mossad in their area of expertise.” Of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a newsletter said, “Whether it was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little.”
