      This is NOT the letter! I found the exact same page when I searched for it, I don’t know where this is from, but it is not Bin Laden’s letter.

      If you want to find it, search for the page from The Guardian (they have removed the text but the page is still around) and use the Wayback Machine.

      i agree, the antisemitism struck me as well. but the israeli government is far right. that needs to end because it will destroy the jewish people as outside forces never could.

      I mean, if people want to waste their time reading the manifesto of a terrorist, they should and least make it interesting and read that of the Unabomber.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the type to go around posting terrorist manifestos lol. It’s only because this was in the news

          Haha, yeah, I didn’t get the feeling you were actively promoting it.

          I really wonder how this bin Laden stuff started, if it’s dishonest actors trying to discredit support for Palestine or if it’s just people genuinely being that stupid. Sadly I think both explanations are plausible.

            I mean, to be fair, Israel needs some propaganda wins after it turned out the “Hamas HQ” was actually just a hospital.

            and remember they did a big hubub about how Hamas stores and produces weapons, along with it being one of the big terrorist headquarters.
