    The hilarious part is Saudi Arabia absolutely participates in and supports US imperialism, as well as engaging in some of their own with respect to Yemen.

    arrest journalists

    Wait, didn’t the Saudis kill and chop a journalist into little pieces for criticizing MBS? I guess they didn’t technically arrest him, though.

    “We shall criticize your culture. You shall not criticize ours. Any questions?”

    (I’m just going to take it as a good assumption that if I look at your profile I will not see halfway down the page “OH BY THE WAY THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS GENOCIDE” or anything, that they are just making that part up.)

      Please, be my guest. I am firmly against the genocide Israel is commiting in Gaza and openly against the Nazi guy called Netanyahu.

      Also: fun fact: I’m not american, I’m European, from a region with a very strong Arab history. I despise my own country history of colonialism and love my Arab roots. But hey, talk about LGTB and you start offending people.

    PTB. .ml should recruit Miqlāh* as an admin, he behaves exactly the same as them:

    • The rules being listed are not the rules you’re expected to follow.
    • Going out of his way to misinterpret what others say, while dishonestly putting words in their mouth.
    • “But what about…” all the time.
    • Unreasonably long bans that scream “ackshyually I didn’t permaban you!” from a distance.

    *inb4 this is a joke, don’t think too hard on it.

    Yep, same mod who was being a PTB in c/Palestine a month or so back. So many people back then were defending him because ‘it was a sensitive topic for some’.

    Didn’t know where KSA apologist were in the house…

    Arabs have so much solidarity that’s why parasite ben Salman watches Israel genocide Gaza residents while doing jack shit about it.

    I guess it is better than what Russia is doing in Ukraine at least. So there is that.
