🧵 On September 11, 2001, while Americans watched thousands die, Palestinians celebrated in the streets.
This thread documents those scenes as well as the efforts by the PA to cover them up.
At Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, Palestinians were filmed cheering and clapping.

Fox News also reported celebratory gunfire in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.

The Palestinian Authority tried to stop coverage of the celebrations.
When an Associated Press cameraman filmed jubilant crowds in Nablus, officials warned they could not “guarantee his life” if the footage aired.

The New York Times’ James Bennet reported drivers honking horns in East Jerusalem, candy being handed out, and large crowds in Nablus chanting: “Beloved bin Laden, strike Tel Aviv!”
Palestinian Authority personnel also blocked photographers from documenting the scenes.

"According to the AP, Israel Radio and the Jerusalem Post, the Palestinians threatened news organizations in an effort to stop the broadcast of video and photographs, showing large crowds of Palestinians in Nablus and Ramallah joyfully celebrating the 9/11 attacks."

Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin said the attacks were “a result of injustice the U.S practices against the weak.”
Palestinian Islamic Jihad official Nafez Azzam said they were “a consequence of American policies.”

A 2005 Fafo Foundation poll found 65% of Palestinians supported “Al Qaeda bombings in the USA and Europe.”
Other polls in the Muslim world showed significant minorities justifying the attacks even a decade later.

Here's a tweet from yesterday that gained 3,000 before the account was suspended.

The next time you hear slogans about “resistance,” remember that in 2001 thousands of Americans were murdered, and in Nablus and Gaza, people cheered.
That is the culture Israel is told to make peace with.

And the next time some grifter goes on a rant about the ridiculous "dancing Israelis" hoax, ask them why they won't ever bring this up.
The International Association of “Genocide Scholars” just admitted that for nearly two years they saw the same events everyone else saw in Gaza and chose not to speak up even though they knew there was not enough evidence to accuse Israel of genocide.
They watched while Israel was dragged through The Hague. They watched while the media smeared Israel daily. They watched while “genocide” became the world’s headline accusation against the Jewish state. And they stayed silent.
Now, almost two years later, suddenly they have enough “evidence.” What has changed in Gaza? Not the facts on the ground. What changed is that they can now rely on the corrupt word of the UN, on propaganda coming out of Gaza, and on antisemites like Francesca Albanese to give cover for their vote.
They admit there was no evidence then. There is no evidence now. What there is, is politics. And once again, Jews are paying the price.
@ElliotMalin Linking a few important threads here:
🚨 Philadelphia: CAIR-Philadelphia is now “partnering” with city schools to promote “inclusive education.”
Among its offerings?
• A 9/11 curriculum that bans teachers from using the words “Islamic terrorists” or “jihadists.”
• A workshop titled “American Jews and Political Power: Myth or Reality,” teaching students about the ADL, AIPAC, and promoting BDS activism.
The workshop is run by Jacob Bender, who described October 7th as merely “the first day of the Gaza war.” He also served on the Philadelphia superintendent’s “anti-racist district culture” team.
So under the guise of “equity,” Philly schools are letting CAIR push propaganda that erases jihad from 9/11 and portrays Jewish political life as suspect.
One of the "journalists" killed today was Ahmed Abu Aziz.
Western media outlets like the @nytimes are devastated.
On Oct. 7th, Ahmed celebrated the massacre, calling it "the greatest day of our generation" while mourning his dead terrorist friends.

Ahmed praised and mourned his friend Hamdan Al-Astal, a Hamas terrorist who was killed while invading Israeli communities to murder innocent people on October 7th.

Here he is spreading Hamas propaganda, parading the innocent Thai workers who were cruelly taken hostage, and referring to them as "mercenaries".
France suspends all evacuations from Gaza after a Gazan refugee student was caught posting “Kill Jews everywhere,” glorifying Hitler, and calling for Israeli hostage executions.
She had been welcomed to France as a humanitarian case and her account was only discovered after outcry from X users. French authorities now admit the vetting process failed. The Interior Minister ordered her expulsion from the country while the Foreign Minister declared she "has no place in France."
Sciences Po Lille revoked her scholarship and admission, calling her posts a violation of the university’s values.
France had previously granted automatic refugee status to all Gazans. Hundreds were flown in under that policy, including the now-expelled student. Officials are now reviewing the entire evacuation program.
