Alarmingly, a growing number of left-wing Americans are showing support for Hamas, a recognized terror group. Things have escalated to where some on the radical left are even sympathizing with bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks. A narrative spreading on TikTok is recasting these known terror groups as 'resistance' fighters in a so-called righteous battle.
From PJ Media:
Shortly after the 9/11 attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead and permanently altered the New York City skyline, bin Laden wrote his Letter to America, justifying his murderous act of terrorism, in part because of our "support to the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine."
The letter for some reason (I'll get to that momentarily) resurfaced from the super-left-wing British paper, The Guardian, which for more than 20 years has hosted an English-language translation.
Thousands of young Americans took to TikTok to express how bin Laden's words have opened their eyes.
"So I just read a Letter to America," is one typical TikToker comment, "and I will never look at life the same. I will never look at this country the same. I will never... please, read it."
HuffPo's Yashir Ali — an Iranian-American and no right-winger — had this to say:
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.
Consider this: the same people who are now backing Hamas and bin Laden are also labeling Trump supporters as 'domestic terrorists.' What does this indicate about the extreme shift in the left's stance. It’s enough to make you want to smash your kids’ phones into small bits, right?
