Your reply is much appreciated, fam! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to return right away. I thank you for your patience! Btw, I’m not native. So, if I misuse any terms/words/phrases or whatnot; my apologies. Usually, I put in some significant effort to alleviate this. Sadly, I didn’t quite have the chance to do so this time. Thank you for your understanding!
Thanks fam for the compliments! Your engagement is (I think) (at least) equally commendable!
Btw, I understood the implied context of the footage. But, it would be intellectually dishonest if I didn’t take into account the framing at hand. Cuz, if we were to be very critical of the footage itself (so without AP’s provided text as guidance), then there’s nothing explicitly there that connects those celebrations to the 9/11 killings; no burning of American flags or anything that would imply it. Granted, I assume neither of us speak Arabic. So that doesn’t help either 😅.
Just to be clear, I’m well aware that this story is pretty much uncontested[1]. So I’m not actually disputing it. But, with the benefit of hindsight[2], it’s hard to completely deny any ulterior motives for broadcasting said celebrations.
And to push back: is it sociologically-speaking strange for them to be glad that the biggest support of their rivals has received a retribution?
History has indeed taught us that that[3]’s a pretty likely outcome. But, I was also curious to hear your take on the other question. Namely, “What would become of the Israeli people?”.
Likely indeed.
For this, I’m not so sure. But it could be.
Ah, another celebration. I’m starting to notice a pattern :P .
Another one.
This video I didn’t pay a lot of attention to as the media outlet didn’t seem to be as reliable as I’d like.
I think I got the message by now :P .
If sainthood is achieved through suffering alone, then I’d argue they would make a good chance. But yeah, I get where you’re hinting at.
I did find this, but it seems to be a biased take. ↩︎
That is, the eventual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. ↩︎
Nation states only exist since relatively recently. So, there has never been a Palestinian state or something. However, Muslim rule has dictated over those lands. My reading of history informs me that while Jews definitely weren’t first-class citizens, they were fortunately not persecuted like we saw in other parts of the world. ↩︎
AP is one of the most factual and unbiased news media out there. And the clip I shared just proves that. There was ZERO commentary accompanying it. It was just pure reporting of what actually happened. I mean the only other thing they could have done is simply not post the video. And would it be fair reporting if they intentionally suppressed the video?
That’s a fair question. But 9/11 wasn’t a military war in which the US lost its soldiers or politicians who were responsible for war in the middle east. It was a cowardly suicide attack that took the lives of working innocent people who had absolutely nothing do with America’s actions in the middle east. And celebrating that is in no way justifiable.
Probably die fighting or migrate as refugees to other countries
That was brutal lmao
