He hates Palestinians. He wishes he could be fighting Hamas

Wow. Saudi Arabia being more supportive of Palestine than American Muslims. Amazing. I did not see that coming.

The only reason they put out that statement tonight was because Bibi stood there like a doofus while Trump went on his unhinged rant about taking possession of Gaza for the US.

Substack - you could have sent the update in the time I’ve taken to attempt to get you to update us. Five. Days.

Same for Qatar.

I'm interested in reading more about their ban on the Palestinian flag, because I hadn't heard of that, but I can't find anything on it.

michellebird.bsky.social•27 days ago

Or anything about a ban on showing public support, for that matter. Just some stories of arrests made at places of worship in Mecca and Medina, where all political symbols are banned.
I've never got the sense MBS hates Palestine; hasn't he long called for a two state solution?

This level of insight is why I like to follow you, Yashar!

Mohammed Bone Saw doesn't want Palestinian or other jihadis interrupting his plans to modernize Saudi Arabia; more so when Qatar hosts the Hamas honchos. TЯ☭MP & his MAGA sidekicks are ignorant about the dynamics that exist in the Middle East & among Arab countries. Then there's the West Bank...

Did not know this.

Saudi Arabia is the height of cowardice. They are not going to do anything.

But the Saudi people fully support the Palestinians just like the rest of the Arabs (and Persians) in the region. MBS will have a huge riot on his hands if he goes along with the U.S. and Israeli plan.

He will force them into Syria. And the Arabs will fall in line eventually. Like they always do.

I keep telling people this, and that the Hashemite’s are worried about being overthrown as well, but Americans don’t understand foreign ongoings (you could argue they also don’t understand domestic) and natsec/diplomatic matters.

jaec.bsky.social•27 days ago

is MBS gonna open a hotel in the "Gaza Riviera"?

yasharali.bsky.social•27 days ago

nope. Becuase that is not going to happen.

I did not know that. Thank you.
