| 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."

| #10 Saudi Arabia has currently exported the bulk of their more psychotic rubes who now form a good chunk of the ISIS. In the past they did the same thing to help fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. They are betting they will be eaten last. |

| #9 KSA might be concerned that the ISIS folks may try to destroy additional 'blasphemous monuments' (like a giant cube with a small chunk of meteorite in it). Doing so would impact their 'Tourist Trade'. |

| #6 One thing said in front of the other tribes, another behind the tent walls. Another aspect of Arab mentality. |

| #5 Spot on JQC. I'm dreaming of the time when ISIS turns south with an eye on taking control of Mecca & Medina for the "caliphate". Won't that be fun? Though the pop-corn bill may get out of hand it'll be worth it. |

| #4 Saudi Arabia is ruled by one family. Women have few to no rights. Saudi Arabia is a supporter of terrorism in the world. Of the 19 participants in the actual 911 attacks; 15 were from Saudi Arabia. There were certainly more involved who didn't directly participate in the attacks. SA practices a particularly virulent form of Islam; Wahhabism. This article and the Prince's statement must be for the home crowd consumption. It is not particularly appreciated here in the West. Well, maybe with the exception of the crowd in the White House. |

| #3 You'll have to forgive the Prince, the poor bastard has been defended by the U.S. for decades. He simply doesn't understand the concept of self-defense. |

| #1 Can't have it both ways, Prince Saud Al-Faisal. To use Israel to protect your country from Iran, you need Israel to survive, which means she must defend herself. However, you need to placate your own rubes, and the other Arab rubes, so you put forth this drivel. You show weakness in this two-faced game, which will not end well for you. |
