Todd Beamer's "Posthumous" Connection to Israel

[Eagle54]

Todd Beamer and his wife Lisa Beamer graduated from Wheaton College in
Wheaton, Illinois, in 1991. After Todd died on 9/11/2001, Wheaton
College built the Todd Beamer Student Center in Todd's honor.

----------------------------------

Wheaton College also built Soderquist Plaza, and this plaza was used to
connect the Beamer Center to Wheaton College's main campus. The money
to build Soderquist Plaza was donated by Don Soderquist and his wife
JoAnn Pollard Soderquist. Mr. and Mrs. Soderquist are alumni of Wheaton
College (Class of 1955).

Also, please look at the photograph at the top of the following web
page: http://www.wheaton.edu/beamercenter/photos

This photo was taken at the opening ceremony of the Beamer Student
Center on October 1, 2004. From left to right, the people in the photo
are the following: then-President of Wheaton College Duane Litfin, Lisa Beamer, Mrs. Soderquist, and Mr. Soderquist.

----------------------------------

Well, who is Mr. Soderquist? And why is his support of Todd Beamer so
important?

----------------------------------

Don Soderquist is a former Senior Vice Chairman of Wal-Mart. Also, in
1998, the Soderquist Center for Business Leadership and Ethics was
founded in affiliation with John Brown University in Siloam Springs,
Arkansas. The Soderquist Center was named after Don Soderquist, and Mr.
Soderquist serves as the Executive-in-Residence at the Center. Mr.
Soderquist provides direction and inspiration to the Center.

Furthermore, on April 17, 2001, just a few months before the 9/11/2001
attacks, Mr. Soderquist and the Center hosted a business seminar where
the main speaker was former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
a Likud Party hardliner.

----------------------------------

So, the man who funded the plaza that connected the Todd Beamer Student
Center to the main campus of Wheaton College is a man who has
connections to hardline former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.

----------------------------------

Also, Todd Beamer's Oracle boss Larry Ellison has connections to
Israel. In September 2001, Ellison owned 70% of an Israeli company
called Quark Biotech.

Also, Todd Beamer and Oracle co-worker Jonathan Oomrigar traveled to
Israel together on business.

Gee, Todd Beamer seems to have a lot of connections to Israel.

That's a very interesting theme. We know that on AAL11, Betty Ong named the seats from which four hijackers came. They were 2A, 2B, 9A, and 9B. In seats 2A and 2B were brothers Wail and Waleed Alshehri, both of whom turned up alive and well in the Middle East after 9/11. Could these have been dark-skinned Israeli agents, playing the role of fanatical "Arabs" during the hijacking, perhaps along with the passenger in seat 9G, "Abdul Alomari," who turned up alive as well?

In seat 9B was Daniel Lewin, a former officer in the Sayerat Metkal and a dual US-Israeli citizen who supposedly walked away from his career as an elite commando to move to the US and almost immediately become an internet billionaire before the age of 30.

In seat 9A was Edmund Glazer. It has been pointed out that Glazer worked for a firm, MRV, closely related to Israel. What I'd like to know is what was Glazer's relationship with Israel? Was he know to travel there?
