    Osama Bin Laden’s letter “To the American People.”

    https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ubl2016/english/To the American people.pdf

    As for us, our Iraq was invaded in response to pressure from capitalists with greed for black gold, and you continue to support the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine in response to pressures on your administration by a Jewish lobby backed by enormous financial capabilities.

    They threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers against us and have formed an alliance with the Israelis to oppress us and occupy our land; that was the reason for our response on the eleventh.

    It’s crazy how few people know this in 2024. It should be a lesson to you all about how much information is being manipulated on all sides.

        That does not mean he was right.

        Soooo… where is the lie, exactly?

        Here?

        you continue to support the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine

        Or here, perhaps?

        They threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers against us and have formed an alliance with the Israelis to oppress us and occupy our land;

            You still haven’t pointed out his (alleged) lie, hasbara.

            Will this be taking you long?

                it embraces Sharia law

                LOL! That’s the (supposed) lie?

                criticizes US for not embracing sharia law.

                Heaven’s to Betsy! Are you saying a Muslim person somewhere on this planet sees the world through an Islamic lens?!

                Say it isn’t so!

                Also it accuses Jews of controlling the USA’s policies and economy.

                Oh, finally - sure took you long enough, didn’t it?

                Now that you’ve managed one… can you spot one that actually backs up your initial claims?

                    being anti-semitic

                    Zionism is antisemitic - yet I don’t see that making a dent in your propaganda peddling, hasbara.

                    disagreement with supporting Israel

                    All anti-colonialists have the right to attack white supremacist settler-colonialist states, genius. 7 Oct was not a “terrorist” attack, and neither was 9/11. If you insist on being a colonizer, all the (supposedly) “civilian” infrastructure supporting said colonization becomes a perfectly valid target.

                    It doesn’t matter that some anti-colonialists aren’t the nicest of people.
