Osama bin Laden’s letter to America is going viral on social media. It first appeared on Tik Tok. After the letter went viral, there is also a heated debate about US support for Israel during the war in Gaza. Bin Laden wrote this letter in 2002, justifying the attacks against America. Tik Tok has now banned the type of content this letter promotes.
Debate over the more than 20-year-old letter is heating up in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war. Bin Laden was the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people when passenger jets crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in New York. Almost 10 years later, he was killed by US forces in Pakistan in 2011. After a long search, the United States was able to kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.
What does this controversial letter say?
The letter was written after Al Qaeda attacked America. In this letter, Bin Laden has sharply criticized the US support for Israel. It also accuses the United States of funding the oppression of the Palestinians. Anti-Jewish sentiment is also evident in the letter. The letter justifies attacks against its citizens and the United States.
“The content of this letter is not encouraging. “Our rules clearly state that we do not support any form of terrorism,” Tik Tok said in a statement. “Reports that such content is trending on our platform are inaccurate,” Tik Tok added.

America’s response
Some of the members of the United States of Parliament have come to the scene, demanding that the Chinese-owned Tik Tok app be banned. “TikTok is spreading pro-terrorist propaganda against Americans,” Democratic Party member Josh Gottheimer wrote on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday. “We will never condone the spread of despicable, vicious and anti-Semitic lies by the leader of al Qaeda in the immediate aftermath of the largest terrorist attack in American history,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement. But TikTok responded that it has already taken steps to remove posts containing such content.
