Israeli Firm Claims Unbreakable Encryption

Several readers have pointed to an Israeli company's claim of achieving unbreakable encryption. The linked article reports this claim uncritically. Do you think there's such a thing as unbreakable encryption? This isn't the first time someone's made this claim, or second, or third ...

    then they will also have the backdoor key, so they can sell it to US Govt departments with the help of AIPAC lobbyists, then....

    The story about the Israeli company Odigo receiving an instant message warning of the attack hours in advance comes from The Washington Post.

    The story about there being only one Israeli casualty in the WTC comes from The New York Times. And that casualty was a man who was just visiting, i.e., he was supposed to be there.

    The story about the Israelis celebrating the fall of the towers was an AP and Reuters story and was reported everywhere.

    Nice try though. Lies have worked so well for Israelis for all these many years, I might have resorted to them myself.

    All of these allegations were made elsewhere, and are entirely reputable.

    I guess you're going to tell us now that the AP, Reuters, The New York Times and The Washington Post are all anti-Semites now, is that right?

    Fucking hilarious! I wonder if you realize that it is people like *you* who are Israel's worst enemy.

      Excerpt from the September 22, 2001 edition of The New York Times:

      A NATION CHALLENGED: THE TALLY; Officials Say Number of Those Still Missing May Be Overstated

      By ERIC LIPTON (NYT) 1217 words



      It has become clear, though, that the question of foreign citizens has been the most problematic in efforts to keep the city's count accurate. Over the last several days, the city's list of the missing became inflated by what officials said were missing persons reports from consulates and embassies for countries including India and Israel.

      But interviews with many consulate officials yesterday suggested that the lists of people they were collecting varied widely in their usefulness. For example, the city had somehow received reports of many Israelis feared missing at the site, and President Bush in his address to the country on Thursday night mentioned that about 130 Israelis had died in the attacks.

      But today, Alon Pinkas, Israel's consul general here, said that lists of the missing included reports from people who had called in because, for instance, relatives in New York had not returned their phone calls from Israel. There were, in fact, only three Israelis who had been confirmed as dead: two on the planes and another who had been visiting the towers on business and who was identified and buried.


      As for The Washington Post story about Odigo, that paper has since taken it down. Here however is the story as reported by those anti-Semites at Haaretz. And here is a Google search that lists all the hundreds if not thousands of web sites that have copied the Post story for posterity, perhaps this link is the best.

      Does that shut the troll up?

      Ooops, I forgot the link to the Google search. Must be another conspiracy on the part of us anti-semites.

      Here, for the galactically stupid, is a link to a Google search listing websites that have copied the original Washington Post story.

      Taken together, the fact that only one Israeli died in the WTC along with the fact that an Israeli company in the vicinity of the WTC received advance warning of the attack is damning evidence that the Israeli government was at least aware of the attack beforehand.

      Not Jews all over the world. Not Jews in Israel. The Israeli Government. There's a big difference. I routinely rant and rave about my government here in America, that doesn't make me anti-American though, quite the contrary.

      If there was as much evidence implicating the Taliban as there is the Israelis, I would have supported the carpet-bombing of Afghanistan. It's that damning.

      Is the troll going to come back and admit that he was wrong, that he wrongly accused me and others here of being anti-semitic?

      I doubt it.

    An anti-semetic hatred filled one at that.

    I am an anti-semite because I point out the truth? You can easily discover this for yourself by doing a Google search. I am only reporting what the AP, Reuters, The New York Times and The Washington Post have reported. Are they anti-Semites too? Oh my!

    Out of your last 24 posts 6 were revied, and half of them are labled as flaim bait or trolls. The only time any ever responds to your posts is when your bashing Jews.

    What the fuck does revied mean? And where do I bash Jews? You mean Israelis? Israelis are committing atrocities in Palestine, and deserve our condemnation when warranted.

    Over 3,000 Jews died in 9/11.

    You see, statements like this may end up causing me to sympathize with the Holocaust revisionists. Is this really how the figure of 6,000,000 dead was reached? By gross exaggeration?

    Grow up, or stop wasteing our air.

    I'm sorry, but certain facts that have been stated here were being dismissed as anti-semitic. This is simply not true. The Odigo story, the one Israeli casualty at the WTC, the cheering Israelis, these are all stories sourced from the mainstream media. Indeed, two of the most critical stories come from The New York Times and The Washington Post.

    Are you calling them anti-semitic too? Why not?

    If there is anyone who has a problem with hate, quite clearly, it is you.
