Over the past few days, a small group of TikTok influencers shared posts that were sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden, the now deceased Al Qaeda leader who organized the September 11 attacks.
The posts referenced Bin Laden’s “Letter to America,” a message he wrote more than 20 years ago justifying the killing of Americans and criticizing the U.S.'s support of Israel. Criticism of the U.S. and Middle East foreign policy have been intensely debated online on platforms such as TikTok since the current war between Israel and Gaza started.
