Saudi crown prince says Israel committing ‘genocide’ in Gaza

1. Last person I thought I’d agree with. Haven’t kept track with his prior positions on the subject, but maybe this is indicative of Israel falling out of favor in the overall political scene. 

2. These middle-eastern monarchs like the Saudis or King Abdullah of Jordan are scared of the day that the people will want them gone asking for democracy, so they’ve been towing a fine line between staying in public’s favor while not diverging too much from the Western interests in the region. The anti-Israel sentiment within the public is at an all-time high right now, and the Saudi monarch must’ve started to feel the will of the people on their neck. So yeah, I don’t think for a second that Bin Salman has any conscience, but the public pressure – as well as Iran’s olive branches from the new president – seems to finally have an effect. Hope this would help put a stop to Netanyahu’s madness since the hopes that any Western pressure would do so is getting dimmer day by day.

3. Saudi Arabia is paying lip service to the Arab world, and will normalize with Israel within 6 months of trump taking office if it benefits Saudi Arabia. Which it will

4. Phew, I have to think this kind of rhetoric from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is really going to put a sharp bone saw through the Abraham Accords.

5. Israeli government officials made no effort to hide their intentions. [There are 500+ Instances of public Incitement to Genocide

   are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly”

   * New Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: “Humanitarian aid to Gaza? No electric switch will be turned on, no water tap will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli abductees are returned home”

   * Member of the Knesset Tally Gotliv: “Bring down buildings!! Bomb without distinction!! Stop with this impotence. You have ability. There is worldwide legitimacy! Flatten Gaza. Without mercy! This time, there is no room for mercy!”

   * Deputy speaker of the Israeli parliament Nissim Vaturi: “All the preoccupation with whether or not there is internet in Gaza shows that we have
   learned nothing. We are too humane. Burn Gaza now no less!”

   * Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir: “As long as Hamas does not release the hostages it is holding – the only thing that needs to enter Gaza is hundreds of tons of explosives by the Air Force, and not an ounce of humanitarian aid”
