 [PRESSTV] 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... 's recent arrest campaign against Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, members has shed light on the deteriorating relations between the Paleostinian resistance movement and the kingdom amid warming Tel Aviv-Riyadh ties. Observers told the Middle East Eye (MEE) news portal that the detention campaign, which began in February, was actually meant to target the Paleostinian cause and serve Israel. "Observers" Rafat Morra, the head of Hamas's foreign media department, stressed that the group had tried to resolve the crisis quietly, but its attempts did not yield results. Hamas made "unremitting political and diplomatic efforts" to deal with the Saudi campaign of arrests, including asking several regional and international actors such as Kuwait to mediate, he said. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... he added, such efforts were met with more arrests, including the detentions of Mohammed al-Khudari, who is the most prominent Hamas official in Saudi custody.
