I should write something really important here.

Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States.

The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again.

Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a legitimate form of resistance to a hostile power.

This is not limited to TikTok; similar videos have been posted on other social media platforms.

The Guardian had a copy of “Letter to America” posted, but once these TikToks went viral, the Guardian took it down, which has only led to more interest in the letter and conspiracies from TikTokers who say this is part of the media and the powers that control it trying to silence the truth.

@KiraBrook @agelender Find me a single Jew who has 1) told the POC community they don’t understand trauma 2) has in any way justified murdering babies. Your sweeping insinuation of what Jews are feeling right now is dangerous and quite simply, ignorant.

[alisa kasmer @alisakasmer]

We’ve become so divided as humans we can’t even agree on who terrorists are.

@WUTangKids Yessss @niasalterego

@yashar They’re not “angry.” They’re antisemetic. They’re terrorists. They’re vile. Let’s not minimize what they’re doing as “anger”…

Controversial opinion: Celebrities like Taylor Swift should not be obligated to have to speak out about the Middle East conflict. Unless Hamas is willing to trade Israeli hostages for her friendships bracelets, she does not need to involve herself.

Dude, just drop out.

@irishrygirl @davidmweissman @Cheria63 As a very liberal Jewish leftist/ progressive/democrat/whatever… I completely agree with @davidmweissman Just because you identify with a political party/stance doesn’t mean your affiliation is always 100%. You’re allowed to have conflicting views within your own ideology.

✨PLEASE✨

If you have female friends in LA, Nevada or Florida.

I REALLY NEED EVERYONE’S HELP🙏

TO SHARE THIS MONSTER’S FACE FAR AND WIDE.

This is working and women are seeing this and coming forward.

But more women need to see this.

Let’s get monsters locked up💪

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible.

2020: Silence is violence.

2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding.

————————

2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities.

2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter.

————————

2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression.

2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship.

————————

2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing.

2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.”

————————

2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture.

————————

2020: Believe all women.

2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”?

————————

2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist.

2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters.

————————

2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence.

2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate.

————————

2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned.

2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.

[alisa kasmer @alisakasmer]

Hamas knew that Israel would retaliate. Hamas made the choice to brutally kidnap, murder, rape Jews knowing Israel would obviously fight back. Hamas did this to the people they claim to be fighting for. Hamas threw millions of innocent Palestinians in the line of fire. Full stop

[alisa kasmer @alisakasmer]

We’re so much more privy to information since social media, that there is now so much more to always argue about. I miss a certain level of ignorance.

Recent packing list

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

BREAKING: Hunter Biden gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

@fasc1nate My dog.

Why’d I think this was an aerial shot of a Taylor swift concert?

[alisa kasmer @alisakasmer]

@iramadisonthree @suzannecorcoran

[alisa kasmer @alisakasmer]

@Dschnoeb I dunno. I would be into that.

[alisa kasmer @alisakasmer]

“Going to bed” and “going to sleep” have two wildly different meanings and honestly, we should be discussing this more.
