#3 Ah. Drudge from the AP. No wonder.

The debunking of this story is already about four hours old. The Israelis did NOT receive advanced warning. They got a call to stay put after the first bomb went off.

#4 Israel not 'warned of attacks'
Israel was not warned about possible terror attacks in London before at least six blasts ripped through the city, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom has said. A Foreign Ministry official had said earlier that British police warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terror attacks minutes before the first explosion.
"There was no early information about terrorist attacks," Shalom told Israel Army Radio. "After the first explosion an order was given that no one move until things become clear."

Israel Says All Its Information Came After the Blast
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israel's Finance Minister and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on his way to address British businessmen at a London hotel when the first bomb exploded in a nearby London Underground station Thursday morning. Israel denies reports that Netanyahu had received advance information about the attacks and was warned to stay away before the blasts happened. Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev dismissed those reports as "rubbish."
Regev said he wanted to make it unequivocally clear: "All our information was afterwards."
Netanyahu's advisor Amir Gilad explained what had happened in a radio interview.

"We were exactly on our way to the hotel [located over a subway station -- the first one to blow up-, Gilad said. "We were asked by the British security sources not to arrive at the hotel. Still it was not clear what was happening. We stayed in the hotel where we were guests," Gilad said. Netanyahu was due to open a large conference at the time of the explosion, Gilad added.
"Now we are receiving updates all morning from British security sources that are speaking about terror attacks in the underground train and also in buses throughout the city," he said. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had no immediate comment on the attack on London.
Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said that Israel was standing with the British at this time, and he said that Israel has long warned that terrorism is not only a problem for Israel but for the entire Western world. "Terrorism can attack every country in the world that has the ideology of freedom, of democracy," Shalom said in a radio interview.

Not that any one will believe it

#5 So, what is the truth?

One source and another...

Here we go again...

The only thing about Netanyahu being told is that he just was told. Subway stations would be a logical thing to avoid owing to Spain, and the mass of British citizens? Probably there wasn't time to do any effective evacuation, and there warning was too vague to do coherant acting on anyway.
