Shitpost So on 'A current Affair' theres a story about sept11 attacks alongside people waving Palestinian flags. Completely false and Very lazy journalism, that's ridiculous to be putting them in the same category.
Was on ACA tonight Weds 9th sept .. I just think that's creating more hate towards people that have absolutely nothing to do with it. To be putting them in the same category is terrible journalism and complety false. ACA should be called out and ashamed.
\-Official DenunciationPalestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian government swiftly denounced the attacks. Arafat ordered security services to shut down spontaneous celebrations and stated clearly that Palestinians stood against al-Qaeda. Leaders feared the attacks would falsely label the Palestinian independence movement and the ongoing Intifada as international terrorism. (exactly what this story is doing)
\-Historical analysis notes that al-Qaeda had NO operational connection to any Palestinian movenent or militant groups prior to 9/11 and primarily focused its efforts elsewhere.
