Palestinians celebrated 9/11 as they celebrated oct 7 by dancing in streets.

The repeated video on both media outlets never interviewed any of them to ask what they are shouting about.

It is nothing but a misrepresentation and lacks great deal of context.

It only has a small group of 20-40 mostly children and portrays them as if they were representative of the entire Palestinian population, without acknowledging that their behavior, smiling and giving victory signs, is common when cameras arrive in Palestinian areas. They always jump and scream free palestine. Why make it about your 9/11? Do you think the entire world was only thinking about you? It is an occupied territory.

Keep ignoring the brutal conditions Palestinians live under due to Israeli occupation and the use of U.S.-supplied weapons. The rest of us won't.

The only aim of this uncontextualized footage is to fuel anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim sentiments, reinforcing negative stereotypes so you can pave the way for the Iraq war which ended with FAR MORE CASUALTIES than 9/11.

That coverage encouraged harmful generalizations, contributed to racism and neglected the real suffering of the Palestinian people. Those journalists should be ashamed and so should you.

Because acting as if 40 voices from 23 years ago could somehow speak for millions; past, present, and future...somehow cancel the focus and the attention that the US is backing up genocide..

That was not enough, now we must reach a new low, letting the words of some random, unknown person you picked from twitter define our morality.

Ridiculous red herring nonesense.

We see the genocide. We know what it is. No amount of pointing elsewhere will ever distract us from the war crimes.

Here, you won't need a translating algorithm for this one.
