📃 The Guardian told Daily Beast it has deleted Bin Laden's ‘Letter to America’ (justifying 9-11 on U.S. & Israeli crimes against Palestine) due to it being “widely shared without its original context”. Viral TikTok videos urged to “go read” it, like Lynnette Adkins urged her 200K followers.

Ex-staff journalist Jonathan Cook recounted in ⁠2021:

“The Guardian’s relations with Israel and Zionism date back to the founding editor. A staunch Zionist, Scott was critically important in liaising between the British govt and the Zionist movement in the drafting of the 1917 Balfour Declaration. [...] As documented in [Daphna Baram's] book Disenchantment [2004], the Guardian has indulged Israel ever since, much as a parent would a wayward child. [...] The Guardian historically developed close ties to the liberal Jewish community in the UK”

The ‘liberal-left’ outlet spearheaded a war against then-Labour chief Corbyn, over “antisemitism”.
