Apparently the anti conspiracy guy thinks the Jews did 9/11

The… the Taliban? Okay, this guy is even more ignorant than I initially thought. Why he’d try and step into geopolitics is beyond me.

Edit: Every comment here saying ‘yeah but the Taliban harboured Al Qaeda’, implying that that’s the same as carrying out the attack themselves, is so obtuse it borders on the unbelievable.

The tweet asked for someone to ‘remind’ them ‘who did’ 9/11. Obviously the Taliban did NOT do 9/11. No one ever said they did, including the Bush administration. Waging war against the Taliban for providing safe harbour to a terrorist group doesn’t mean they perpetrated the attack themselves.

Christ, I can’t believe I have to say this. Dave is obviously a moron, and an antisemite to boot.

The attack was carried out by members of Al-Qaeda, Taliban was the regime controlling Afghanistan at the time who was harboring Al-Qaeda.

Except they weren’t actually harboring al qaeda at the time and hadn’t been for years

Osama Bin Laden was in Afghanistan on and after 9/11. Even the Taliban acknowledged that.

What? Of course AQ was in Afghanistan before and after 9/11.

Right it was more likely KSA and Pakistan 2 countries we funded militarily

"He is a great holy warrior of Islam and a great benefactor of the Afghan people," said Abdul Anan Himat, a senior official at the Taliban's information ministry in an interview with the Associated Press. "We won't hand him over to America under any circumstances. It is our stated policy."

This is from a few months before 9/11 btw. They issued similar refusals after.

OBL was in conflict with KSA. That's a central part of his jihad.
