In an unexpected turn of events, a resurgence of Osama bin Laden’s post-9/11 letter has taken over TikTok, with users sharing and discussing its content. The letter attempts to justify the 2001 attacks, linking them to perceived support for Israel’s occupation of Palestine. Despite being written over two decades ago, the videos have gone viral, raising eyebrows and prompting discussions on social media.

The Guardian initially hosted the letter on its website since 2002 but removed it on November 15, 2023, following the viral TikTok trend. This move, however, seems to have intensified interest and conspiracy theories among TikTokers, suggesting an attempt to silence the truth.

The connection between the resurgence of the letter and the ongoing Israel-Hamas war has been noted, with some users citing the conflict as a reason for the renewed interest. The letter’s content and its unexpected support on TikTok have left many surprised and concerned, leading to discussions about the motivations behind the trend.

As the videos continue to circulate across various social media platforms, questions arise about the organic nature of the trend and whether it might be part of a deliberate campaign to manipulate discussions on the platform. The controversial nature of the letter and its sudden prominence on social media underline the complex dynamics of online discourse.
