I confess surprise. Neither condemnation of the degenerate Sauds nor ending Saudi Arabia's illegal war on Yemen is in Izrael's interests. What do these Zion-sodden Senators think they're doing ?

Punishing the Saudis because the majority of Americans want harsher punishment for Khashoggi’s murder. Majority of Americans don’t support our involvement in this civil war or selling arms to the Saudis for this war.

The majority of americans are not represented in this political system though, so there's that. Time and time again this is the case. Watch how quickly the Dems move away from single payers once they actually have some power to do something for example.

The moral thing is always to support Israel and force the Arabs to suck their own dicks.

That's yesterday's mantra. The world has recognized Palestine as a state and the Izraelis as a bunch of US-fed fascists. Not in AMERICA yet- but the tide has turned.

Mohammed Bin Salman’s Woes Might Prove to Be Yemen’s Savior

To Trump and Netanyahu, punishing Saudi Arabia means rewarding Iran and harming a vital ally in the anti-Tehran alliance. But peace has the U.S. Congress on its side

And that, folks, is the most pressing reason for exposing the degenerate Sauds. We can take up the human rights issue afterwards.

Do you think the people of Yemen wanted this war? Do you think they wanted their government overthrown?

Do you think they want the Houthis, A Qaeda and Iran running the show?

AQ took Southern Yemen 10 years ago... bombing the USS Cole, destroying their oil business, closing factories and training suicide bombers...

The Houthis are in the north.. and funded by Iran.

Do you think the Yemeni people wanted this?

Do you that nancy girl Paul Ryan has a brain?

So, if the Houthis took control of all of Yemen, you agree Al Qaeda would be destroyed in Yemen.

I'm not a prophet, Jack... Yemen has been flooded with all kinds of jihadis from AQ to Boko Haram, to al Shabaaz to al Houthis. That's what the Saudis have coped with.
