A Colorado Democratic Socialist candidate, Melat Kiros, recently argued that the 9/11 and 10/7 terror attacks were ‘inevitable’ after US and Israeli military actions in the Middle East.
Context of the Comments
In an interview with Colorado’s Next 9News, Kiros was asked about comments she made on a far-left Twitch streamer’s show, where she labeled a Hamas terror attack against Israel as ‘an inevitable consequence of apartheid, of occupation, decades of occupation.’ Kiros pushed back on the idea that Israel ‘had it coming’ but insisted that understanding the conditions that led to the terror attack was important.
Kiros was then asked if she believed the 9/11 terror attacks were also an ‘inevitable consequence’ based on US foreign policy. She replied, ‘Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle East, which led people to believe that another act of violence was the only response.’ Kiros emphasized the need to eliminate conditions that lead to violence.
