A letter written 21 years ago by Osama Bin Laden, the founder of Al Qaeda, has gone viral on TikTok with many users expressing their agreement with the terrorist.
The openly-antisemitic letter, written only a year after the September 11 attacks that cost the lives of nearly 3,000 people, was published in the Guardian in 2002 but was removed on November 15, 2023, after the social media trend became known to the site.
The hashtag #lettertoamerica has been viewed 4.5 million times on the application.
One user who made a video about the letter discussed the US military's actions in the Middle East. She captioned her post "Excited for the racists in my comments to arrive free palestine fr #fypシ #lettertoamerica #iraq #freepalestine", but did not address the antisemitic language used in the letter.
