Mohamed Matar is an UNRWA employee in Gaza. He shared a video clip from the antisemitic leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, promoting antisemitic 9/11 conspiracy theories including that “there were many Israelis andZionist Jews” involved in the 9/11 attacks. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describes Farrakhan as “an antisemite who routinely accuses Jews of manipulating the U.S. government and controlling the levers of world power.”

Mohamed Matar shared the below  clip of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhanaccusing Jews and Israelis of perpetrating the September 11thattacks, and calling them “thieves,” “liars” and “murderers.”8 The text of the post presents the video as “the truth ofwhat happened on September 11.”

Some quotes from the Farrakhan videoshared by UNRWA’s Mohamed Matar are excerpted below:

“Now we know now that the crime that they say is at the root of terrorism was not committed by Arabs or Muslims at all … Listen, but if it was not Muslims then who? … it is now becoming apparent that there were many Israelis and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks.

“Now look, if they can prove me wrong like I said, I paid with my life, since they want to kill me anyway, prove me wrong. We’re dealing with thieves and liars and murderers.”

“We know that the World Trade Center building was insured by its owner, Larry Silverstein, right before the attack, and in the insurance clause, there was a clause that if the buildings were damaged by terrorist acts, Mr. Silverstein would get paid. And guess what? Mr. Silverstein got 4.8 billion dollars.”

“We know that an Israeli film crew dressed as Arabs were filming the Twin Towers beforethe first plane went in. In other words, these Israelis had foreknowledge of the attacks.”
