Melat Kiros' 9/11 Answer Is RATIONAL — Why the Attacks?
"Bill Aman, the very pro-Israel billionaire, basically spearheaded a blacklist to organize the permanent ban of anyone signing these letters... And a lot of these big law firms agreed with that and signed on and they started banning the hiring of anybody who signed any of these documents."
The speaker details how billionaire Bill Ackman organized a coordinated blacklist against people who signed letters critical of Israel after October 7th, including Harvard students and law firm employees. Major law firms, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley participated in the blacklist. Democratic Congressional candidate Milat Curas was fired from her law firm Sidley Austin for refusing to remove her signature from such a letter, which catalyzed her primary challenge against 30-year incumbent Diana DeGette.
