Gen Z Has a Problem: They’re Promoting Osama Bin Laden on TikTok

In a startling turn of events, more than two decades after Osama Bin Laden masterminded one of the most catastrophic terrorist attacks in history, he has resurfaced in the digital age on platforms like TikTok. This resurgence is fueled by Gen Z content creators sharing a 2002 letter written by Bin Laden, originally published by The Guardian. In this letter, Bin Laden rationalized the 9/11 attacks and condemned U.S. support for Israel, among other geopolitical stances. The letter, replete with homophobic and antisemitic rhetoric, has sparked heated discussions among young social media users about U.S. foreign policy and the Israel-Hamas conflict. This phenomenon reflects not only the power of social media to resurrect historical figures but also highlights a critical gap in American education about 9/11 and its aftermath. As one TikTok user put it, “We’ve been lied to our entire lives,” underscoring a profound disconnect between the historical narrative taught in schools and the perspectives gaining traction among younger generations online. This trend raises serious questions about the dissemination of extremist views under the guise of political discourse, especially among youth largely unfamiliar with the immediate impact of Bin Laden's actions.
