Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud clearly explaining the simple truth and reality of this, asserting Palestinians right to their own land, to live in safety and security with freedom and self determination: "The weight has to be lifted, but it is not to be lifted by the Arab world. It is to be lifted by removing that weight and that is very easy: by stopping the killing, by stopping the blockade, by allowing enough humanitarian aid to go in to support the Palestinians.

The Palestinians do not want to leave their land. And we are not going to encourage them or force them to leave their land and we are not going to work with anyone who has that agenda.

The Palestinians have a right to their land, and they have a right to live in safety and security and dignity on their land. And that is what we will push for and that is what we will work towards."

ISRAELI OCCUPATION'S GENOCIDE IN GAZA PUSHES UP DEFENSE SPENDING BY 24%

A report published this month by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) shows the Israeli occupation's defense spending is up 24% for 2023, to a massive $27.5 billion. This for an entity with a GDP of just $531 billion.

Israeli defense spending was second in the region only to Saudi Arabia with its far larger $2.3 trillion GDP, with a defense spending of $75.8 billion and change in defense spending of just 4.3% in 2023.

The United States, for its own part, had a change in 2023 of 2.3%, to an astounding $916 Billion.

u guys dont want to hear it but piastri finished above norris bcs of that rancid comment abt the Horner situation....... karma is real !

[silentreigns]

I never had any plans to work in motorsport as a black woman, but it is very jarring to see how the general consensus with the f1 paddock is "oh this Christian Horner situation is a bunch of noise and we should just focus on the racing". I doubt our comments on social media have any impact on the direction F1 is going on the grand scheme of things. We can trend hashtags and comment under official media about how this Horner situation is not right but the higher-ups do not care. Horner makes them a considerable amount of money and the female employee is just a cog in the machine. The amount of journalists going "oh do you think these distractions at RedBull will help your team out?" Is also very disgusting. I feel so bad for the employee because she did everything that you're supposed to do with reporting workplace harassment and yet she's the one getting punished. Christian Horner is going to come out of this unscathed and the paddock will probably "move on" by the next grand prix.

Why is the American Left so Anti-Saudia but they say nothing about Iran?

I always found it weird how much the Left seems to dislike Saudi Arabia and highlight its human rights abuses and why the alliance is against American national interest. This is far back as Michael Moore’s documentary Fahreneit 9/11, Vox who did a special on weapons sales to Saudis, Morning Joe which kept calling MBS a butcher, The View after Biden’s visit and Krystal Ball on Breaking Points.

Interestingly these same people always go at pains to say why US should seek peace with Iran and how the government does not represent the American people. When Trump was sabre rattling Iran they said he’d start WW3. It took until the hijab protest angle for them to cover Iran critically. Even Egypt who is an American vassal under El-Sisi gets criticised all the time including by Vox/MSNBC but when the Muslim Brotherhood got in power after the Arab Spring, which is against all sorts of progressive causes, they were never really criticised.

I always get frustrated by how people throw everything to the Left of Trump as "the Left".

Joe Scarborough is nobody's Leftist. He was a far-right wing congressman from Florida in the 90s and voted to impeach Clinton in 98. MSNBC has routinely fired left-wing and Muslim dissenters to the Mainstream Washington politics (which is center-right), and to this day is filled with center and right-wing talking points. You think the Left would have Raytheon War Privateers talking up Israel in itss slow-rolling genocide without criticism?

That being said, I would significantly advise OP read a book, or talk to a leftist. Preferably in real life. The concept of "The Left doesn't criticize Iran or Muslim Brotherhood" is somewhat divorced from the broader reality and context. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are American allies and their actions are things that the US Government directly or indirectly supports.

Saudi Arabia is a US ally, so the left is critical of that close relationship and the supplying of arms such as fighter jets to such a brutal regime (currently engaged in a devastating war in Yemen using American weapons). In contrast, the US has huge tensions with Iran, so the call from the left is "do not escalate this to war." In both instances the intent is the same: to reduce the threat of war.

Try to say what you're saying directly and in descriptive language and it falls apart at face value.

"The left-wing has no criticism of anti-democratic Theocratic states." Center-left criticism of the Muslim Brotherhood has been around for a long, long time. It's easily google-able.

Or how about: "Why does the Left criticize an American vassal state with a puppet in charge?"

Bringing up the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt just speaks to how little attention you pay to the Country. The Muslim Brotherhood hasn't been in power there since 2013 when a military junta took over and threw thousands of them in jail.

All the F1 teams really annoy me today. STOP using women for your performative activism, but at the same time do nothing to keep them safe or take part in the things that really matter.

and the irony of doing all this on the same day your sister team suspended a woman who reported a sexual assault.

and I hope this sticker is not too "noise and distraction" for your drivers.

Saudi Arabia needs to make up their minds. They keep making public statements that they still plan to normalize relations with Israel once the fighting subsides but now they claim to agree Israel is guilty of genocide? Talking out of both sides of their mouth
