Sinwar, the architect of the October 7 attacks, was a top target for Israel. After months of Israel claiming that Sinwar was hiding in tunnels behind “human shields,” the Hamas leader was gravely wounded by tank fire when he was above ground and alone, as he sat on a chair covered in dust in a ruined apartment, according to drone footage released by the Israeli military.
Following the news of Sinwar’s death, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said in a post on X: “After recent conversations w/leaders of Israel, Saudi Arabia & UAE, I have real hope that Sinwar’s death creates truly historic opportunities for Israel’s security, cessation of fighting & regional peace & stability through normalization of relations. The moment must be seized.”
Just beneath the surface of Blumenthal’s remarks is a widely discussed mega-deal that would effectively create a U.S.-Gulf regime neo-colony in Gaza, commit the U.S. to going to war for Saudi Arabia, and plunge us deeper into a new cold war with China.
Yesterday i was listening to someone on yt that there was a leaked document that seems to indicate Saudi's have been involved in this conflict for a while now. I think the guest who was talking about this was "sami hamdi".
This just gives more credibility to that document.
Idiots think war is just like a Nintendo game where you kill the enemy leader and everyone gives up, lmao. No wonder Israel can't seem to have any success in Lebanon.
Yes, and that's why those in power are using this moment to try to sell us on this story, and it's chances of success.
Don't see how it changes the conditions on the ground in Palestine, however.
Narrative-wise, they become no longer Palastenians, but Saudis who are disobeying their King/Prince. It does NOT change anything for the better.
They will remain fighting for their homeland, they aren't going to stop striking Israel.
... are you somehow under the impression that I need to be convinced?
Let's hope you're right.
It does seem like some out-of-left-field weaksauce to me, but the absurdity is part of the populist newspeak playbook that has been disturbingly successful over the last decade or so.
I'm so confused. I can't keep up with any of this anymore. I don't know what I was expecting considering this is a massive circus. Please forgive my ignorance, but why the heck is the Saudi even being considered? I thought this whole thing with Israel was to secure the land for themselves.
I know I sound like a complete idiot, but I can't seem to be able to read this article--can someone point me to a resource I can read, even a book or video that helps clarify what the heck is going on. What a nightmare our world has become.
Many leaders in the middle east are American proxies. By extension they will obey Israel. America has to make concessions for it, by giving their leaders things they want such as F35 planes.
Israeli allies are:
- Egypt
- Saudi
- UAE
- Jordan
- Turkey
The resistance is:
- Palestine
- Lebanon
- Iraq
- Iran
- Yemen
Keep in mind the population of all these countries hate Israel. Their leaders and army are compromised.
Brett Stephans was masturbating in the NYT opinion pages about this today, apparently the new western dream is for an "Arab-led" security force to take over Gaza in order to "de-radicalize" it with the help of "European economic power". It seems they have finally admitted that direct Isntraeli occupation of Gaza will only cause Palestinians to hate them more and strengthen the resistance. Though they still think annexations of the Egyptian border and cutting Gaza in half are necessary. Then I guess eventually a "deradicialized Gaza" will be handed over to Isntrael or the PA.
It's an absolute fantasy, he literally made up a fictional Gazan man named "Mohammad" in the article to fabricate Palestinian support for this insane idea. No Arab state, even the collaborators, wants to get directly involved in this genocidal shitshow. I doubt NATO even wants to show up in person, except the US of course.
It reminds me of what the US is trying to do in Haiti with the Kenyan police. That has been a complete failure and it would be even worse in Gaza.
So once again foreign powers are re-drawing borders and assigning leaders to countries halfway across the world based on international politics?
