Mohammed bin Salman reportedly told Antony Blinken that while he was not concerned about 'the Palestinian issue', the young Saudi population were

According to The Atlantic, Blinken enquired whether the Saudis could tolerate Israel periodically re-entering the territory to strike the besieged Gaza Strip.

“They can come back in six months, a year, but not on the back end of my signing something like this,” Mohammed bin Salman responded.

“Seventy percent of my population is younger than me,” the crown prince explained to Blinken.

“For most of them, they never really knew much about the Palestinian issue. And so they’re being introduced to it for the first time through this conflict. It’s a huge problem. Do I care personally about the Palestinian issue? I don’t, but my people do, so I need to make sure this is meaningful.”

    “First they came for Palestinians, and I did not speak out because I was not a Palestinian…”

      I am shocked, beyond all recognition, that the psychopath monarch who dismembered an anti-fascist journalist with bone saws could show such a lack of empathy for the Palestinian people. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

      All of our “democracies” are ruled by sociopathic criminals who only worship the almighty dollar. The sooner everyone accepts that, the sooner we can oppose authoritarian dictatorships and genocidal ethnostates, instead of kissing their ass.

      This goes a bit deeper than their connection to America. The whole reason they were aligned with America in the first place was their mutual hatred of Iran. The Saudis HATE Iran. Coincidentally Hamas’s biggest supporter is Iran. Israel surely knows this and for similar reasons why most of the Arabian peninsula states are keeping their distance from this war.

    Kudos to whomever did the photo editing and managed to remove the gallons of blood from the hands of both of them without leaving any artifacts! That person deserves a raise!

      This “leader” is a psychopathic murderer who should have already been executed at the hague. Instead he’s our “ally”, because we live in capitalist dictatorship’s masquerading as “democracies”.

        Most of the “leaders” are psychopathic murderers who should have already been executed. The honest and noble ones get assassinated and we get these shits that openly admit to being evil.
