Being pro-Palestine is so trendy at the moment that some people will unthinkingly parrot any rhetoric that criticises Israel, even if it's horrific anti-semitic remarks like these.
I think a big part of this story is the Streisand effect. A lot of people are talking about the letter itself, whether it should be accessible for academic reasons, the propaganda aspect, why it was effective back then, etc.
I'm sure there are also people supporting it, both kids being edgy and people being awful. The part that's cloudy is how many are doing that, and how many are talking about the situation itself
Which ones
Have you read the Bin Laden letter?
Yes.
So what part do you need help with then? The anti-semitism isn't exactly disguised.
you havent provided any yet
No, Bin Laden did 20 years ago in that letter you say you've read.
But do the parts about governments "surrendering to Jews", talking about how the creation of Israel was a "crime that needed to be erased", that the Jews have "taken control of the economy, the media and now control all aspects of life, making you their servants" ring a bell?
well, technically, the whole "creation of Israel" thing is just the propagation of colonialism and about as morally justifiable as Rwanda.
most of the other stuff was just conspiracy shit, tho.
we might be talking about different letters, this is the one that I've been seeing referenced
I’ve been told that’s not the right letter, although that one still has antisemitic content tbh
This literally says the US is under the control of Jews and calls for the death of American Christians.
