The Palestinian cause is a top priority for Saudi Arabia, and we reiterate the kingdom’s rejection and strong condemnation of the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people, in disregard of international and humanitarian law in a new and bitter chapter of suffering,” he said. We extend our thanks to the countries that recognised the Palestinian state in embodiment of international legitimacy, and we urge the rest of the countries to take similar steps,” he said. The crown prince, known by his initials MBS, made his remarks in his annual address to the Consultative Assembly of Saudi Arabia, more commonly called the Shura Council.

I say fine! Let's do that with Gaza, and make the Saudis responsible for protecting Israel from the terrorists that infest Gaza and Lebanon...

Okay Crown Prince, I'm sure the Isrealies would be glad to move the Palestinians over to a little piece of Saudi that they can call home. I hear Palestinians make great neighbors.

If the Saudi's are so concerned about the Palestinian people, how about carving out a portion of their desert to make a homeland for them.

I don't know much, but I thought there already was a two-state solution and the Jewish state was Israel and the Palestinian state was Jordan. And now the demand is that the Jewish state subdivide itself further. Meantime, that the reason there is such a need for the Jewish state is that the nearby Arab states ejected all the Jews and would not let them live elsewhere in 1948. And finally, that the Arab states are teaching all their children that the Israelis just turned up from Europe and are colonists. although they know that is not true. It is their ancient homeland OBVIOUSLY (the reason Jesus was born in Bethlehem is that King David was), and they have been the majority there for thousands of years. For God's sake leave them alone.

These idiots still don't get it. How can you create a Palestinian state when the Palestinians don't recognize Israel as a state. Total insanity. They could have had their statehood under Bill Clinton but Yasser Arafat refused to recognize Israel. What do people not understand.

Just the same hostile impasse that has characterized Canaanite relations with Israel since the exodus from Pharaoh. The Palestinians don't just want a state. They want Israel's state. That's geen the crux of the biscuit since the U.N. decreed Israel's homeland post-WWII. The Arabs don't want Israel to have land that they were living on. They don't even want Israel as a neighbor.

Saudi Arabia plays both sides. They put out anti-West and anti-Judeo-Christian messages to placate the terrorists. They fund terrorists. At the same time, they want the west to buy their oil. They come down hard on any terrorist activity inside Saudi Arabia. They have also been known to warn the West of terrorist activities. They know the terrorists would love to take down the House of Saud and take over the most power Islamic nation in the world.

Hey MBS, put down your scotch and soda and try to keep up. The Palestinians have been offered their own state more than once. They refused because they didn't want to live next to Israel. They will not accept any solution where Israel still exists.

Lindsay Graham Travels To Nebraska To Convince Lawmakers To Revert To Winner-Take-All Electoral System by: Sterling Mosley 09.19.2024 On Wednesday, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) traveled to Nebraska to convince Republican legislators that the state should revert to a winner-take-all system rather than the current system that allocates electors via the popular vote and congressional districts. Graham's visit to the state is the latest attempt by Republicans to give Trump a slight advantage in the 2024 race by giving him one more electoral college vote that could win him the White House.

When I was a young man fresh into my teens, I was still in the thrall of the various left-wing philosophies, including the pro-choice movement. I even marched through the streets of my city in a pro-choice protest, shouting, "Women have died because of Hyde!" This, of course, was in reference to the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortions except in cases of rape or incest or if the abortion is needed to save the life of the mother. I was young, indoctrinated, and confident that I stood on the moral high ground. I firmly believed that I was supporting women's rights and reproductive freedom.

O]ne of the key fronts in this war is not in the Middle East. It's in the United States. [T]he political battle over the war in Gaza has been going pretty much the way the terrorists wanted it to. That's reflected in Mashaal's confidence, as well as Hamas's negotiating tactics and its strategy in Gaza. After Oct. 7, the terrorists have been doing nothing but playing for time. And they expected that the time they needed to outlast the Israeli offensive would be provided to them by Israel's closest ally.

[T]he UK government announced that it is imposing an "immediate" weapons embargo against Israel. The statement followed almost a year of relentless attacks on Israel, not only by Iran's proxies -- Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis -- but by Iran itself, and probably several tons of unverified propaganda by Hamas that Israel is supposedly committing "war crimes." Even South Africa is seeking to extend the deadline for presenting evidence against Israel at the International Court of Justice, for lack of evidence of its allegations of genocide. So far, all evidence points to Israel being "the world's most moral army." Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for the entities attacking it.

Anyone who works in media knows it's a race against time to find the social-media content of anyone involved in a high-profile crime. Whether it's a school shooter or a political assassin like Ryan Routh, social media companies immediately lock down the accounts and hide them from the public. Yesterday, just minutes after Routh's name began circulating, his X and Facebook accounts were disabled. Fortunately, some quick-thinking individuals were able to access the social media posts before they were memory-holed, so we now know that Routh hated Trump and had extreme left-wing political views.

There’s no political playbook for how to deal with another apparent assassination attempt against a major-party presidential candidate within weeks of an election. Yet that’s where the rival campaigns now find themselves after what looks like a second attempt to kill Republican nominee Donald Trump in the latest twist to a political season defying precedent and highlighting the nation’s deep polarization. Twice within two months, America has narrowly avoided the tragedy of seeing a major political figure assassinated during an election season — and the toxic forces that such an outrage could unleash in a country wracked by visceral partisan divides.

The former president said he was safe and well, and authorities held a man in custody. U.S. Secret Service agents stationed a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away.

Israel on Friday took out Ibrahim Aqil, the Hezbollah leader behind a trio of bombing attacks that killed more than 250 Americans in the 1980s — as the Jewish state moves toward all-out war with the Iranian proxy group. Aqil – most recently a member of Hezbollah’s highest military body, the Jihad Council – “was eliminated in a targeted intelligence-based strike in Beirut,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Also known as “Tahsin,” Aqil was a “principal leader” of the cell responsible for both the April 18, 1983, bombing at the US embassy in Beirut, which killed 63 people including 17 Americans; and the Marine Corps barracks bombing

The two-hour “Unite for America” livestream event from Michigan was meant to highlight the grassroots organizers that are backing Harris and give voters an opportunity to ask her about her platform — but the Democratic presidential nominee didn’t offer any new policy proposals. At one point in the evening, Harris was questioned about what she would do to secure the southern border.

It would be helpful to voters to know that a “whistleblower” says ABC rigged last week’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. But outside of conservative media, it’s being largely ignored, because the legacy press covers its own and as zealously as it does the Democratic Party. Whether the claims are true or not – the existence of the whistleblower remains unconfirmed – the mainstream media’s loyalty to Democrats is uncomfortably similar to the relationship Pravda had with the Central Committee of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.

An investigation conducted by the Buckeye Reporter has uncovered a troubling conflict of interest involving Rob Rue, the mayor of Springfield, Ohio. The report alledges that Mayor Rue has been profiting directly from the ongoing Haitian crisis by renting out properties he owns to Haitian immigrants. This practice raises serious concerns among citizens who fear that the mayor is favoring low-wage, government-subsidized foreign residents over the local population. According to the Buckeye Reporter, a 37-year-old man who identified himself as “Works,” has confirmed that he and other imported Haitians are living in buildings owned by Rue.
