The Israeli military on Friday slammed an Osama bin Laden letter that has gone viral on social media.
“Taking a brief, and what should be unnecessary, pause to remind anyone who is confused…Osama Bin Laden was a genocidal terrorist personally responsible for one of the biggest crimes in modern history,” the military posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Like Hamas, Al Qaeda used antisemitic radical ideology to justify the wholesale murder of thousands of men, women and children,” the post continued.
Bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America,” which was published nearly a year after the 9/11 attacks, has recently made the rounds online. The letter attempted to justify the killing and targeting of American civilians.
Bin Laden was killed in 2011 by U.S. Special Forces.
Many videos showed support for the al Qaeda leader’s argument and suggested to others that they read the letter in light of the U.S.’s backing of Israel in its current war against the militant Palestinian group Hamas.
