  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Saudi_Arabia_relations

    Reports in Arabic-language media suggest that there have been several meetings between Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israeli officials over the last two years, with at least one of them taking place in Eilat in 2015 and another on the sidelines of the Arab summit in Jordan in March 2017. It has also been reported that Saudi and Israeli officers have been regularly meeting in a joint war room serving as a coordination center for Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.

    After the Arab Spring, Israel views the Saudi government as “guarantor of stability”, according to the New York Times. In 2011, Israel approved a German sale of 200 Leopard tanks to Saudi Arabia.[12] The approval came from Uzi Arad, the national security advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu.

    The Times has reported that Saudi Arabia has tested the ability to stand down their air defenses to allow an Israeli strike on Iran to pass through their airspace.[22] Both nations have denied this.[23][24]

    In November 2018, Netanyahu publicly defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in the wake of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, stating “it is very important for the stability of the region and the world that Saudi Arabia remain stable”, and privately urged the U.S. administration to maintain its strong security relationship with Saudi Arabia.[31]

    They egg around but work together closely militarily and in intelligence. And Saudia Arabia could exert control over the Red Sea. Finally Saudi Arabia actively supports Israel militarily, like by shooting down missiles heading to Israel from Yemen.




  • Boxing has weight classes. As do most other martial arts.

    The problem is not a 50kg men fighting a 70kg women in terms of injuries and power imbalance. And in that set up the women most likely wins. The problem is the typical situation of a 80-100 kg men smacking down on a 50-60kg women. And that is the image the demagogues try to conjure.

    So if your full blown men is a 60kg feather to be able to compete against another 60kg women, the whole trope falls apart.



  • There is thousands of videos online of IDF soldiers documenting and cheering on their own war crimes. Looting, Pillaging, Abusing, Raping, Murdering.

    It is evident that they do not fear any repercussions and only when the international pressure gets to high, a tiny few get “investigated” or even more rarely get a small “conviction”.

    What is left of Israels civil society and every country that easily allows travel for Israels should be alarmed. When thousands of people that learned to expect impunity for the most gruesome crimes will come back to life among them.


  • Looks like Netanyahu is getting what he wants. The US drags itself in another war in the Middle East. Harris will suffer for it in the elections, as she will be loosing the communities she won back after being alienated by Bidens zionist fanaticism. The US might end up doint the dirty work in Iran and Iraq, if things escalate fully. And Israel can finalize the genocide and annexation of all of Palestine, while pretending to be the victim again.







  • Dying during Hajj has always been a risk historically. Imagine you’d make the way from Afghanistan or Gambia to Mekka in the time before cars and planes. People were on the road for years, and the roads back then were a very different story.

    Also for nowadays it needs to be kept in mind, that people often safe up a very long time, to afford doing Hajj. So by the time they saved enough money for it, they are quite old, which increases the risk of dying from heat.
