Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States.

In accordance with the union movement’s values of peace, justice and solidarity with working people, we are horrified by the current war between Israel and Hamas and the unspeakable bloodshed and violence it has caused. This tragedy is a direct result of Israel's blockade and siege of Gaza, and of the apartheid and ethnic cleansing it maintains in the West Bank and within its own borders.
In the first instance, we call for an immediate suspension of all hostilities and an immediate end to the blockade of Gaza. Gaza must not be cut off from food, medicine, fuel and humanitarian supplies, its power supply must be resumed, and critical health, water and other infrastructure must be restored immediately.
We also call for an end to the illegal occupation of Palestinian land and an end to apartheid and ethnic cleansing. As unionists, we stand in solidarity with all people who support the cause of peace, equality and justice for Palestinians, Israelis, and everyone in the Middle East.
We support the demonstrations around Australia for Palestine, and call on governments and police authorities to facilitate them. The union movement will never accept political restrictions on the right to protest, which is fundamental to democracy.
This petition was the initiative of NSW members of the National Tertiary Education Union.

Thanks to Seeker of Truth for this update:
This protester is a 36 year old teacher with the name of Marieha Mohsin Hussain.
Her poster represented PM Sunak and former Home Secretary Braverman as coconuts so it was the colour of their skin that was important to her.
Her image with the placard appears in this article.

An American mom whose child is being held hostage in Gaza by Palestinian terrorists delivered the most caustic speech. It hurts but you need to put yourself through it.pic.twitter.com/NqWWSiHKAB

Nor should she be allowed to table them, what's it got to do with her parliamentary duties to Australia?
