Prince Saud: Israel has no right to self-defense
[ARABNEWS] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... has said that the actions of the Paleostinian resistance group, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, cannot be equated with Israel's mass killings. Addressing a presser after chairing an extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Jeddah on Tuesday, Prince Saud Al-Faisal slammed Israel for committing crimes against humanity. "You cannot equate the actions of Hamas and Israel, either in scale or in substance," he said in response to a question on whether Hamas had taken adequate steps to seek a peaceful resolution of the current conflict. "It is not fair, there is no way you can put the two together." "How can you say that Israel has a right to defend itself when it is the occupier and you do not give the same right to Hamas?" he said. "When Hamas fires rockets, it is considered a terrorist while Israel, which thinks it has the moral right to kill hundreds and thousands of Paleostinians in response to one soldier, is not? Where is the justice?" Prince Saud said Israel was an occupying force that had stolen the territory of the Paleostinians. "Israel wants to destroy and kill an entire population so that it can steal more land," he said. "Israel does not have the right to self defense as an occupier. There is no law, there is no international law, that says an occupier has a right to self defense." He said Israel must reach a peace agreement with the Paleostinians if it is to survive as a nation. "Israel has to realize that peace is the only solution for its survival," he said. "As we see, Israel does not shy away from taking its terror to any level in order to achieve its goals with total disregard for any laws, rules, religious edicts or humanitarian considerations."
