Since the start of the Syrian war Saudi Arabia donated SR 708 million for the Syrian refugees all around the world and also welcomed 2.5 million Syrians at the start of the war and 600,000 are still living in Saudi Arabia with rights almost equal to Saudis.

Some of you are either uninformed or just blinded by hate, just open your eyes and do some research before writing because blindly attacking and ignoring all the good Saudi did will just make you look ignorant and stupid.
