    Wow! This is big – but not getting any coverage in the Lame Street Media.

    While this is all well and good, does that mean that Saudi royals are going to be forbidden to continue sending support to Hamas?

    90-year-old monarch says conflict is ‘collective massacre,’ slams terrorists for tarnishing Islam’s purity and humanity

    The Saudi king can't condem Israel, since behind closed doors they are allies.

    - - - Updated - - -

    "The attack on Gaza comes by Saudi Royal Appointment. This royal warrant is nothing less than an open secret in Israel, and both former and serving defense officials are relaxed when they talk about it. (*)Former Israeli defence minister Shaul Mofaz surprised the presenter on Channel 10 by saying Israel had to specify a role for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the demilitarisation of Hamas. Asked what he meant by that, he added that Saudi and Emirati funds should be used to rebuild Gaza after Hamas had been defanged. - See more at: http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/saudi-israeli-alliance-forged-blood-601611381#sthash.DwZgNDx9.dpuf"

    This is BS.. I posted King Abdullah's words in their entirety yesterday.. He condemned Israel's actions as well as the actions of terrorists everywhere.... Shame on the Times of Israel.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Israel has always claimed KSA is their ally as a means to dividing the Arab world... Its a lie.. KSA does want HAMAS to cool it because they provide an excuse for Israel to carry out massive retaliations.

    Check out this article, the Israel-Saudi alliance against Iran. Both hate iran obvisiously. You believe the words of an old corrupt monarch who named the whole country after himself? When is democracy coming to Saudi Arabia? Hahahaha

    One has nothing to do with the other.. Iran has wanted a foothold on the Arabian Peninsula forever.. That's why they fund the Al Houthis in Yemen and stir up trouble in Bahrain.. Israel is NOT bugging the Saudis.. and they are not allies with the Saudis.

    The Saudis want peace in the region because they are so heavily invest in progress.. education, healthcare, clean water, housing etc.

    That doesn't make them an ally of Israel.

    living in an oppressive kingdom doesn't mean you know what's going on. Do you expect me to believe you some stranger on the Internet actually talked to the king of Saudi Arabia? Hahaahaa

    Of course I talked with Abdullah as well as with Salman and Sultan... I was a guest for the Saudi centennial .

    I also lived in the kingdom for nearly two decades and have followed their track record since the early 1950s.

    Face it, Hamas' ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and its alliance with Iran has cost them a lot of the support they once enjoyed in the region.

    Fwiw, I believe her.

    The elite kings and dictators in the Mid-East, along with the Israeli Likud Party, are all afraid of the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies that are preaching a kind of Muslim liberation theology.

    Hail to the Arab Spring! May the heads of the kings, their royal families, and the dictators like al-Sissi and Assad all roll, and add Bibi Netanyahu's head for good measure.

    Hamas didn't come about until 1987.. during the 2nd intifada when Sharon went for a walk on the Haram al Sharif with 1,000 soldiers. I wouldn't blame the MB.. They came late to the party.. The issues that were driving Hamas to recruit from the meanest refugee camps were the lack of water and 20,000 IDF soldiers in Gaza.

    Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, Margot. Its founder, Ahmed Yassin, was the leader of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas was originally its paramilitary wing.

    You might not be aware of that, but I'm confident King Abdullah is familiar with Hamas' MB background. No doubt, President Sisi of Egypt is aware of it.

    Yes... KSA threw the MB out of Arabia after they were given sanctuary with conditions.. and they violated the conditions. Nasser threw them out..

    I think Ahmed Yassin was born in Askelon and was a refugee in Gaza early in his life.

    There's plenty of buyers out there, it's oil. The ME powers are acting really weird in regards to Israel lately and it's got to be either IS or Iranian nuclear weapons that is causing the shift.

    I asked WHO they are selling the oil to and how are they delivering the oil? Syria's production is miniscule...

    Just in an other thread I was thinking to the idea of some peace keeping forces in Gaza also to demilitarize Hamas and Saudi Arabia came out as possible country sanding troops ...

    Oh Bull.. Israel has been claiming that KSA is in their corner for years... Every quarter they claimed that the Saudis would let them use their airspace to attack Iran... Its a huge LIE. Shaul Mofaz is a liar.

    I have no idea but they've taken over a lot of Iraq. Which has a lot of oil. I think they are going to become a country if something drastic isn't done soon.

    Uh, about a third of it and they got the American military weapons left there which they are using to invade Lebanon as well as continue fighting in Iraq and Syria. This is old news. #bringbackourhumvee.
