Saudi government support for the Palestinians

From The Angry Arab News Service "... This chart is from the book "Jihad in Saudi Arabia: Violence and Pan-Islamism since 1979" by Thomas Hegghammer. I was reading this book and came across this important chart: notice that contrary to public perceptions, the decline of Saudi support for Palestinians (and most of that are taxes levied on Palestinians working in Saudi Arabia, by the way), started long before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and coincided with the launch of the American-Saudi project of Islamist terrorism in Afghanistan against the communist government and its Soviet backers."

Beirut Bombing: A Saudi Gift to Iran

Beirut Bombing: A Saudi Gift to Iran By: Ibrahim al-Amin Published Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Most people expected Saudi Arabia to go far in its mission to destroy Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, but few expected it would be so quick to move the confrontation to a new level, deploying its soldiers of death on the doorsteps of the Iranian embassy in Beirut. We can only assume that by deciding to deploy ugly tactics such as suicide bombings against a power on the scale of Iran, the Saudi royals have chosen to commit political suicide It is clear from the questionable behavior of the Saudis of late that their bitter defeat in Syria will impose on us more of the kind of meaningless bloodletting that we witnessed in Beirut on Tuesday. http://english.al-akhbar.com/blogs/angry-corner/background-saudi-israeli-alliance From the very beginning of the Zionist movement, the Saudi royal family (in the person of the founder to his sons-successors) took a practically indifferent, if not outright sympathetic, look at the project of the Jewish state. King Abdul-Aziz was after all a mere puppet of the British colonial powers, and he did not lose time to prove his credentials (as an obedient puppet) to his masters

Norman Mailer's Oswald (Vid)

I must try to read this book. This interview IS appealing.I sense a compassionate objectivity(an elite, Mailer, almost patronising attitude toward Oswald and his intimate/close associates.Oswald was somebody's science project but not Mailer's science project thusly warranting symapthy).I am dieing to get a hold of the transcripts of Lee and Marina's bugged conversations by the Beloruse KGB.@ the 24:30 point, the most plausible arguement occurrs. Oswald is suspected of being a new type of CIA agent and was worthy of further observation by the KGB and was allowed to stay in the USSR. Of course, in the end, Mailer's simplistic conclusion is preposterus. But that's what so good. The absurdity of the conclusion, that Oswald acted alone, is proof to the contrary and Mailer, slyly knows this hoping everyone else is on the same page
