										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Qatar has mastered the art of playing both victim and benefactor, using its immense wealth to bankroll global jihad while presenting itself as a progressive state.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>For years, Qatar has skillfully played both sides of the geopolitical chessboard, presenting itself as a modern, progressive Gulf state while simultaneously acting as the primary financial hub for global jihadist movements. Despite its carefully curated image, Qatar has funneled billions of dollars into radical groups under the guise of humanitarian aid, enabling terrorism while avoiding serious repercussions from the international community.</p>



<p><strong>Qatar&#8217;s Extensive Financial Reach</strong></p>



<p>Qatar spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually on lobbying, PR campaigns, and political influence operations. Its financial influence extends to think tanks, universities, media organizations, and even K-12 education, ensuring its covert activities remain hidden. By embedding its ideology within education systems and funding institutions worldwide, Qatar has successfully shaped narratives in favor of its geopolitical ambitions.</p>



<p>In June 2024, journalist Christopher F. Rufo of Manhattan International exposed documents from the Portland Teachers’ Union, which encouraged over 4,500 members to &#8220;Teach Palestine!&#8221; The materials, sourced from various organizations—many partly funded by Qatar—were organized as a complete K-12 indoctrination guide. These educational resources aimed to instill an anti-American, pro-Islamist worldview in students, from kindergarteners being taught to protest to high schoolers perceiving the U.S. as a &#8220;terrorist state&#8221; and glorifying violent resistance as &#8220;revolutionary&#8221; or &#8220;freedom fighting&#8221;.</p>



<p>Additionally, the indoctrination program incorporated elements of “Queer” and “Sex Education”, tying them to the Palestinian cause. Even subjects like math were politicized, embedding lessons that linked equations to the Palestinian struggle. To mitigate potential emotional distress from learning about the so-called &#8220;genocide&#8221; in Gaza, teachers were provided with resources to help students cope with psychological trauma.</p>



<p><strong>The Role of Al Jazeera in Propaganda</strong></p>



<p>Qatar-funded Al Jazeera played a significant role in disseminating this educational content. The network, known for its pro-Palestinian bias, has long been accused of having ties to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Al Jazeera’s subsidiary, AJ+, has repeatedly failed to register under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), despite functioning as an overt propaganda tool.</p>



<p>Beyond merely supplying media content, Al Jazeera journalists have actively collaborated with Hamas operatives, ensuring Qatar’s ideological and financial support remains deeply embedded in global discourse. The network’s influence is so pervasive that it provides not only educational materials but also legal guidance for teachers facing pushback over the controversial curriculum they promote.</p>



<p><strong>Qatar’s Decades-Long Infiltration of U.S. Public Schools</strong></p>



<p>In addition to shaping narratives through nonprofit-backed teaching materials, Qatar has financially supported U.S. public schools for decades. The Qatar Foundation International (QFI), a Doha-based organization, has injected at least $30.6 million into public schools across the United States since its inception in 2009.</p>



<p>Investigative journalist Breccan F. Thies recently exposed Qatar’s extensive funding of K-12 education, with QFI financing Arabic language programs, teacher salaries, and school trips designed to push a pro-Qatar, pro-Palestinian narrative in American classrooms. Schools that accept QFI funding must report activities directly to Qatar and undergo oversight, including teacher evaluations conducted by Qatari officials. Some of these institutions even display maps that exclude Israel, labeling the region as “United Palestine”.</p>



<p>Beyond K-12 education, Qatar has also poured over $6 billion into elite U.S. universities—the same institutions where students today chant “Death to America” and “Globalize the Intifada”. By embedding itself within higher education, Qatar has successfully shaped anti-Western narratives and radicalized student activism against American interests.</p>



<p><strong>Qatar: The Leading State Sponsor of Terrorism</strong></p>



<p>Qatar has long been the world’s most prominent state sponsor of terrorism, funneling billions of dollars into jihadist groups under the pretense of humanitarian aid. Some of the most damning evidence includes:</p>



<ul>
<li>Financial backing for Hamas, which has received hundreds of millions of dollars from Doha.</li>



<li>Hosting the Taliban’s political office in Doha while maintaining diplomatic relations with the U.S.</li>



<li>Funding Al-Qaeda affiliates and providing safe harbor to their operatives.</li>



<li>Sponsoring radical Islamist clerics who advocate for violence against the West.</li>
</ul>



<p>Despite these activities, Qatar continues to operate under the guise of diplomacy, leveraging its financial power to maintain its reputation while simultaneously enabling terror organizations.</p>



<p><strong>Qatar’s Role in the October 7th Massacre</strong></p>



<p>On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal attack against Israeli civilians, slaughtering innocent men, women, and children. As the world reeled in horror, Qatar’s response was to blame Israel—the very nation under attack. Instead of condemning Hamas, Qatar used its diplomatic channels to shield the terrorist group and ensure its survival.</p>



<p>Qatar has actively supported Hamas not only through funding but also by providing sanctuary for its leaders. The Qatari government advised Hamas to retain hostages as leverage, securing their position on the global stage. Additionally, Qatar’s state-funded media outlet, Al Jazeera, granted exclusive access to Hamas operatives, amplifying their propaganda while downplaying their atrocities.</p>



<p><strong>The Depraved Hostage Negotiations</strong></p>



<p>As bodies of murdered Israelis were returned, Hamas and Qatar played twisted games, using the dead as pawns in psychological warfare. Hamas handed over coffins filled with propaganda, some locked with keys that didn’t open, and in one of the most depraved acts, returned the body of an unknown person instead of the actual victim, Shiri Bibas.</p>



<p>The International Red Cross, instead of challenging Hamas’ manipulation, became complicit in these grotesque charades. In over 500 days, the Red Cross never once visited the hostages, failing in its duty to uphold humanitarian principles.</p>



<p><strong>Why the West Allows Qatar to Evade Accountability</strong></p>



<p>Despite overwhelming evidence of Qatar’s complicity in global terrorism, Western governments continue to turn a blind eye. The reasons are clear:</p>



<p><strong>Economic Leverage</strong>: Qatar’s vast wealth, derived from its natural gas reserves, makes it a crucial economic partner for many Western nations.</p>



<p><strong>Strategic Military Interests</strong>: The U.S. maintains its largest military base in the Middle East, Al Udeid Air Base, in Qatar.</p>



<p><strong>Media Manipulation</strong>: Qatar strategically invests in public relations to maintain its influence, controlling narratives through Al Jazeera and other outlets.</p>



<p><strong>Qatar’s Ultimate Goal: Global Influence Through Media and Politics</strong></p>



<p>Beyond funding terrorism, Qatar is deeply invested in controlling global narratives. The establishment of <strong>Media City Qatar (MCQ)</strong> is part of a broader strategy to position Doha as a dominant player in the global media ecosystem. This initiative allows Qatar to infiltrate Western media from within, shaping perceptions while deflecting scrutiny of its terror ties.</p>



<p>A prime example of Qatar’s deception was its recent interview with Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Tucker Carlson. In a desperate attempt at damage control, the Qatari PM painted Qatar as a peaceful nation dedicated to humanitarian efforts. However, Carlson’s failure to challenge Doha’s role in enabling terrorism highlighted how Qatar has successfully manipulated even seasoned media figures into whitewashing its crimes.</p>



<p><strong>Time to Hold Qatar Accountable</strong></p>



<p>Qatar has mastered the art of playing both victim and benefactor, using its immense wealth to bankroll global jihad while presenting itself as a progressive state. This paradoxical strategy has allowed Doha to evade serious repercussions for far too long. It is time for the world to recognize Qatar for what it truly is: a terror state with blood on its hands.</p>



<p>The U.S. and its allies must take decisive action:</p>



<ul>
<li>Designate Qatar as a state sponsor of terrorism.</li>



<li>Expel Qatari-funded entities from Western education systems.</li>



<li>Sanction Qatari officials and freeze assets linked to terror financing.</li>
</ul>



<p>The West can no longer afford to ignore Qatar’s duplicity. The time to act is now.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Erdogan’s obsession with establishing Istanbul as the capital city for a revived Ottoman Empire was his driving force. </p></blockquote>



<p>On 2 October 2018 at the Saudi <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consul_(representative)">consulate</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul">Istanbul</a>, Saudi dissident/journalist Jamal Khashoggi went missing after going into the Saudi consulate. Erdogan found a great opportunity to carry out a character assassination of Saudi’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. There has been a cold war brewing for some time now between the two countries. </p>



<p>It started with Turkey’s president Erdogan <a href="https://intpolicydigest.org/2017/06/29/erdogan-self-proclaimed-caliphate/">self-proclaiming himself as the caliphate</a> for all Muslims and demanding that the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah should not be under Saudi’s jurisdiction. This clearly encroaches Saudi as a sovereign nation.</p>



<p>Khashoggi’s death is still debatable since there has been a report by AlJazeera and <a href="https://www.turkpress.co/contact">turkpress.co</a> news outlet of Khashoggi leaving and possibly abducted. The posts were both later deleted. Then there was the fiance that was later exposed as a <a href="https://herald.report/how-to-kill-a-fake-fiancee-the-khashoggi-case/">fake</a>. The only tangible evidence against the Saudis is them confessing for a crime the <a href="https://syllogismos.com/2019/09/09/transcripts-detailing-khashoggis-killing-inside-the-saudi-consulate-in-istanbul-are-leaked-but/">may not have committed</a>.</p>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="ar" dir="rtl">الان تبين ان الجزيرة لم تنفرد بالخبر لوحدها، بل هناك أكثر من جريدة شاركت في نشر الخبر المهم، وهذا يقوي أهمية التحقيق لكونهما يتضمنان دحض الروايات التي تزعم (أن خاشقجي لم يغادر القنصلية).<br><br>شكرًا <a href="https://twitter.com/ItsRory__?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ItsRory__</a> على المشاركة بصورة مماثلة للخبر الذي نشرته الجزيرة ولكن من صحيفة تركية?? <a href="https://t.co/CBfqpZqomv">pic.twitter.com/CBfqpZqomv</a></p>&mdash; Beautiful Mind &#8211; عقلٌ جميلٌ (@25M99) <a href="https://twitter.com/25M99/status/1052625800913129472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>



<p>After King Salman of Saudi Arabia spoke in a statement that Khashoggi was indeed murdered by a team of rogue agents, Erdogan launched his campaign to character assassinate the Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Erdogan’s obsession with establishing Istanbul as the capital city for a revived <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/10/23/turkeys-religious-nationalists-want-ottoman-borders-iraq-erdogan/">Ottoman Empire</a> was his driving force. Turkey for the whole year has been keeping the story alive as we approach October we are expecting another major campaign commemorating Khashoggi debatable assassination.</p>



<p>In response to Erdogan’s vicious campaign, the Saudis have made <a href="https://saudigazette.com.sa/article/575332">modifications</a> in some parts of the social studies and citizenship subjects pertaining to the historical aspect of the Ottoman Empire. </p>



<p>A significant decline in <em>trade</em> between <em>Turkey</em> where Saudis have been calling for the boycott of Turkish goods. The Saudi government is probably eager for its trade agreement with Turkey to expire to limit trades with Ankara. The Saudi embassy in Ankara <a href="https://gulfnews.com/world/gulf/saudi/saudi-arabia-issues-warning-after-citizens-attacked-in-turkey-1.65877079">issued a warning to travelers</a> that passport theft and petty crime was increasing in Turkey. Additionally visitors from Saudi Arabia to Turkey <a href="https://www.saudigazette.com.sa/article/575935/SAUDI-ARABIA/Saudi-tourists-to-Turkey-drop-by-17-percent">dropped 17 percent</a> during the first seven months of 2019.</p>



<p>Adhwan Al-Ahmari, a Saudi journalist and writer, and the Editor in chief of the “Independent Arabia” tweeted in Arabic that “Saudi Arabia preferred not to sever relations with Turkey, but chose to activate its tourism boycott and warn against it and its danger, supporting Cyprus in its dispute from Ankara. In contrast, Erdogan’s troubling new parties emerged after Istanbul’s fall and loss. The Caliph is mired in his conflicts, confusing him better than leaving him.”</p>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="ar" dir="rtl">السعودية فضلت عدم قطع العلاقة مع تركيا، لكنها اختارت تفعيل مقاطعة سياحتها والتحذير منها ومن خطرها، دعم قبرص في نزاعها من أنقرة. وفي المقابل، ظهور أحزاب جديدة مقلقة لأردوغان بعد سقوط اسطنبول وخسارته لها. الخليفة غارق في صراعاته، إرباكه أفضل من تركه.</p>&mdash; عضوان الأحمري (@Adhwan) <a href="https://twitter.com/Adhwan/status/1172102933846138882?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 12, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>



<p>Saudi has recently strengthened its ties with Turkeys historic enemy “Cyprus” by opening an embassy in Cyprus. Saudi Minister of foreign affairs in his statement, “We support the legitimacy and sovereignty of Cyprus”.</p>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">&quot;We support the legitimacy and sovereignty of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cyprus?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cyprus</a>&quot;<br><br>&#8211; Foreign Minister <a href="https://twitter.com/IbAlassaf?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@IbAlassaf</a> <a href="https://t.co/5MrYIY5ahx">pic.twitter.com/5MrYIY5ahx</a></p>&mdash; Foreign Ministry ??

<p>The rich oil country of Saudi Arabia has leverage over Turkey. Turkey needs Saudi Arabia’s tourists and trade benefits for its own (currently) deteriorating economy. Nonetheless, Turkey is still expected to further continue its character assassination attempts which, as mentioned earlier, is expected to dramatically increase in October. These tensions will probably ease when Erdogan is finally out of office.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-small-font-size"><strong>by Turki al-Owerde</strong></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>The Saudis generally do not like to boast to others about what they do because they do it for Allah, and then because of the nature of Arabian culture&#8230;The Saudis talk about it only if they’re met with hatred, apparent hostility, arrogance and denial.</p></blockquote>



<p>Before we get into the article, let&#8217;s first understand <strong>Who are Al-Amsaar people?</strong> The Peoples of Al-Amsaar are those who live in the countries and regions located north of the Arabian Peninsula and east of the Arabian Gulf; the Egyptians; the Sudanese, and the rest of the peoples of North Africa. Living in countries north of the Arabian Peninsula are the Nabateans, Assyrians, Canaanites, and groups of various migrations. The Copts live in Egypt, the Zanj groups in Sudan and Amazighs in the rest of North Africa. There are also groups of various migrations in each country. These peoples were strongly influenced by Arabian culture through the Arab-Islamic tide that expanded in the state of the Arabian Caliphate and then the Umayyad Empire (620 – 750 AD).</p>



<p>The causes of Al-Amsaar and the Muslim communities are a fundamental pillar in Saudi culture and in the Saudi leadership role around the world. Saudi Arabia provides political, security and economic support worth billions of dollars to support the development of Islamic countries and communities. It distributes enormous relief projects around the world, especially to Muslims.</p>



<p>The Arabs resisted occupation in both ancient and modern times. Foreign powers have been unable to maintain control over them throughout well-known history, thanks to Allah and then because of the nature of the Arabian Peninsula and character of the Arabs. Even when they were weak and in contact with other nations, the Arabs remained strongly committed to their identity, retained their heritage and traditions, preserve their historical lineage, their tribal affiliation, and descendants, and regard this as a basis for their identity, culture, and history. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Arabs are distinguished from other nations by sharp collective cultural memory. Most of their history has been transmitted with relatively high accuracy through oral narrative, and much of their heritage remains preserved in pre-Islamic and Islamic literature.&nbsp; In the same way, with the help of Allah, the Arabs were able to memorize the Qur’an, the Sunna, and Islamic heritage through a unique direct feature called the “Chain of Transmission.” This means studying the testimony of known narrators&nbsp;(witnesses)&nbsp;whose characters and associations are well known, then documenting it and corroborating the information through additional credible witnesses wherever possible. Each narrator has a specific and integrated definition. By comparing all testimony and evidence it is possible in many cases to validate the words of experience even over generations. The preservation of the Qur’an and Sunna relies on this unique method found only in Arabian Islamic discipline.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The divine miracle in memorizing the Qur’an is that it remained the same as it was 1400 years ago, and it is the same all over the world today. There cannot be different versions that vary even in one letter.&nbsp; This divine miracle required a mechanism and a human culture that is commensurate with its divine value. Through the centuries and down through generations, the Arabs by their nature and culture, thanks to Allah, are here to take the divine message seriously, to preserve it and disseminate it to the world. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The Arabian conquest of the peoples of Al-Amsaar did not carry the characteristics of foreign aggression, and therefore it was not an invasion or occupation. All that happened was that the Arabs helped the people of Al-Amsaar to liberate themselves from the yoke of successive occupations. Arabian culture gave them intensive doses of the concept of freedom and the spirit of independence and self-esteem. Before that, the people of Al-Amsaar had been completely surrendered to successive occupations.</p>



<p><strong>The Kingdom of ‪Saudi Arabia‬ and the Royal Family (Al-Saud)</strong></p>



<p>It is important that the peoples of Al-Amsaar and people of the world realize that the Saudi Arabian state is not a brief bulge in history. The first Saudi state arose in the 18th century&nbsp;(1744 AD)&nbsp;at the time of the late European Renaissance and before the independence of the United States of America. The Saudi royal family is well-rooted in Arabian history and conscience. It has been ruling for more than 500 years, beginning in a large area in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula&nbsp;(plateau of Najd)&nbsp;centuries before 1744.</p>



<p>Saudis render absolute political loyalty to the royal family&nbsp;(Al-Saud)&nbsp;because its attention to the needs of its people for centuries has created strong economic and social ties with them. The tribes themselves have deep alliances with the royal family. Underlying and agreed upon by all is the beneficial and regulating influence of Islam. All of this is in sharp contrast to revolutionary political thought and mitigates against it.</p>



<p>The royal family&nbsp;(Al-Saud)&nbsp;has continued to organize and help the Saudi people to bring about broad and radical changes that have strengthened loyalty and patriotism to the third Saudi state&nbsp;(Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)&nbsp;in the past 100 years.</p>



<p>Security, justice, development, and prosperity are still the hallmarks of the Saudi monarchy. What has happened over the past 80 years is very impressive even for a neutral reader. Education levels among Saudis rose from zero to 94%. The percentage of Saudi women in the education sector rose from zero to 55%. Women represent 20% of total members of the Shura Council, greater than the numbers of representative women in many other countries of the world, especially in the European and American continents. Saudis, in general, enjoy advanced levels of government and commercial services.</p>



<p>After decades of serious planning and unlimited Arabian ambition, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia settled at the forefront of the world’s most influential global entities, outperforming many of the world’s most powerful economies of the G20 nations.</p>



<p>Many believe that oil is the decisive factor in this, and although important, other countries having nearly equal or similar resources to the Saudi oil reserves did not achieve what Saudi Arabia achieved. In Saudi Arabia, there are several factors that aid renaissance:&nbsp;good governance, effective management, centrality of the geographical kingdom to the old and modern worlds, centrality to the Arabian and Islamic worlds, and unity of the social fabric.</p>



<p>The Islamic faith is the sound bedrock for the Saudi people and the Saudi state. It embraces, teaches and propagates the absolute oneness of Allah, and prohibits manifestations of polytheism such as the holiness of creatures and the worshiping of graves and idols.&nbsp; Islamic Sharia Law is the sole source of legislation so practices and manifestations of religiosity spread to many Saudis. This does not mean that the Saudis are angels, but does mean that as a whole they are the “most committed” to Islam.</p>



<p>Today Saudis represent the main element identifying Arab and Islamic civilization. The Arabian Peninsula is the home and extension of the Arab culture that formed the first Arabian Islamic State under the leadership of the great Arab Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH)more than 1,400 years ago.</p>



<p>The first Saudi state, then the second, and the third, today’s Saudi Arabia, where Arabs have regained part of their original glory, represents the Arabs along with their brothers, the leaders of the Gulf states.&nbsp;</p>



<p>All Saudis, Kings and people, have respect for all the peoples of the world. They also have a strong feeling towards all Muslims, especially the peoples of Al-Amsaar. The Kingdom hosts millions of foreign residents who earn a living and participate in development. The Saudis are proud too of serving Islam through the care of the Qur’an and Sunnah and millions of pilgrims annually.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Saudi Arabia – Al-Amsaar relationship</strong></p>



<p>The Palestinian cause remains a solid part of Saudi religious, moral and political-cultural heritage. Many Saudis remember proudly the popular campaigns to support the Palestinians and also support the Algerian battle for independence from French occupation. Saudi students cut their school expenses to support Al-Amsaar.&nbsp; Saudis are proud of the positions of their leaders, from founding King Abdulaziz Al Saud, to the King of determination Salman and Crown Prince of the future vision Muhammad bin Salman, may Allah bless them.</p>



<p>The Saudis generally do not like to boast to others about what they do because they do it for Allah, and then because of the nature of Arabian culture and ethics that they enjoyed even before Islam and the advent of the late Crown Prince Sultan Bin AbdulAziz Al-Saud, may Allah have mercy upon him. The Saudis talk about it only if they’re met with hatred, apparent hostility, arrogance and denial.</p>



<p>The positions of the founding King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, may Allah have mercy upon him, was firm and clear in rejecting the Ottoman, European and Israeli occupations of the peoples of Al-Amsaar, and in rejecting illegal settlement and partition. This is evidenced by the records of his speeches, correspondence, and meetings with world leaders. The Saudi position has not changed and continues in comprehensive support for the Palestinians and the rest of the peoples of Al-Amsaar.</p>



<p>Relations between the Saudis and the peoples of Al-Amsaar are old and historic. Saudi Arabia has supported them politically, economically and militarily to gain independence from the Ottoman and European and Israeli occupations. Even on the religious side, Saudi Arabia embraces the two Holy Mosques, the homeland of Arabism, Islam and the homeland of the Great Prophet. The relationship between the Saudis and the Palestinians has another deep tie as Palestine embraces Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Prophet’s destination of Israa’&nbsp;(Jerusalem).</p>



<p>To this day Saudi Arabia refuses to establish any relations with Israel, and sacrifices a huge political, military and economic balance with the world, especially the West, because of the Palestinian cause. This contrasts with some Arabian, Amsaar and Islamic countries such as Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey and others which have declared multi-level relations with Israel.&nbsp; Iran and Turkey have acknowledged Israel since 1948 and Turkey recognizes Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem.</p>



<p>Saudi Arabia also rejected the US-British occupation of Iraq, and warned them through the late Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, may Allah have mercy on him, of the dangers and disasters that we have seen over and over since 2003.</p>



<p>Saudi Arabia and the Saudis are the main supporters of the Al-Amsaar people, especially the Palestinians, politically, economically and militarily. They are responsible for many of the Palestinian Authority’s expenses, and the Saudis express their support and hope for a just solution for the Palestinians.</p>



<p>Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees with special exceptions have been living in Saudi Arabia since 1948, and millions of Yemeni, Syrian and Burmese refugees have been living there for decades without coercive measures to leave the country. Saudis do not deal with refugees by the usual international standards, where they are placed in camps without services. The refugees are integrated with the Saudi citizens and are granted the same right to residence, work, education, and healthcare as any ordinary citizen, and work side by side with the Saudis in various governmental and private sectors.</p>



<p>Saudi Arabia continues to fund development, reconstruction and relief projects for the peoples of Al-Amsaar and the Palestinians in particular, and the restoration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque via intermediary humanitarian organizations. Gaza is home to the Saudi neighborhood, inaugurated by the late King Abdullah, May Allah have mercy upon him, who announced a $1billion donation for the reconstruction of Gaza.</p>



<p>What is the problem in Saudi-Palestinian relations? What made many Saudis recently appear on social networks with different and negative perceptions of the Palestinians and their cause?</p>



<p><strong>Historical Palestinian Points</strong></p>



<ol><li>In 1990, Saudi Arabs sponsored the Taif Agreement under the auspices of the late King Fahd Bin AbdulAziz Al Saud&nbsp;(may Allah have mercy upon him)&nbsp;to stop the Lebanese Civil War that erupted in 1975. This was successful. The War started with military confrontations between the Maronites and the Palestinians led by Arafat.</li><li>The Palestinians and Lebanese are the biggest beneficiaries of Saudi Arabian support. The Palestinians have been receiving billions of dollars since 1948, $6 billion since 2000. The Lebanese have received $70 billion since 1990. Yet the extent of the hatred and aggression of the Lebanese and Palestinians towards the Saudis would surprise even Satan.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hezbullat and the sectarian groups dominating the Lebanese scene are actively participating in aggression against Saudi Arabia. Hezbullat Party military advisors are there in Yemen to support the Houthi terrorists, and Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine are the most critical places to launch campaigns of hatred and aggression against Saudi Arabia. The “Death to Al Saud” slogan is thought to be practiced by a broad section of the Amasaari Lebanese people.</li><li>In 1975, with the request of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine&nbsp;(George Habash), the Venezuelan Carlos the Jackal carried out the armed operation of kidnapping the Saudi Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani among OPEC oil ministers who were meeting in Vienna. The Palestinians have been remembering George Habash and Carlos with respect and consider both of them revolutionary icons, while the two terrorists carried out an armed kidnapping against a Saudi minister who belonged to a country that has long supported the Palestinian cause.</li><li>In 1990, under Arafat’s leadership, the Palestinians supported the leftist Baathist criminal Saddam Hussain in his treacherous invading of Kuwait, and in bombing Saudi Arabia and the occupation of the Saudi city of Khafji. The Palestinians demonstrated to demand that Saddam bomb Kuwait and Saudi Arabia with chemical weapons.</li><li>In 2007, Saudi Arabia, under the auspices of the late King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud&nbsp;(may Allah have mercy upon him), sponsored a reconciliation agreement in Makkah between Fatah and Hamas which was to unify the Palestinian position and strengthen it in the face of international entitlements. Shortly thereafter Hamas broke the reconciliation agreement and turned it over to the legitimate Palestinian Authority, in coordination with Israel, Qatar, Iran, and Turkey. It then allied with regional forces hostile to Saudi Arabia such as Qatar, Iran, Turkey, Bashar al-Assad, Hezbullat, and the Houthis.</li><li>Hamas has chosen to align itself with countries that have full political, economic and cultural ties with Israel such as Turkey and Qatar. The so-called Resistance Front in Lebanon has chosen to align itself with Qatar and Turkey, which have full political, economic and cultural ties with Israel. These chaotic trends combined with the terrorist Iranian regime against Saudi Arabia, which has no relations with Israel.</li><li>Regardless of its sincere and costly support for them, Saudi Arabia is being attacked for no reason by broad sectors of Palestinians and the rest of the peoples of Al-Amsaar. The Palestinian cause is the main cause for this attack despite the strong Saudi position against any normalization of relations with Israel.</li><li>Israel is not an enemy of Saudi Arabia, although it’s a cultural, political, ideological and intellectual opponent. Israel has never attacked Saudi Arabia directly but the political and media scandals that Saudi Arabia faces, especially from the Palestinians, are ironically almost beyond what Israel itself has to deal with from them.</li><li>Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a wide range of people from Al-Amsaar took part in a vicious campaign against the Saudis, danced with joy at the attacks, raised the image of the terrorist bin Laden in demonstrations and was revered in forums and media outlets. At the same time, these groups accuse Saudi Arabia of terrorism.</li><li>After the Arab Coalition launched “Decisive Storm” against the hostile Iranian presence, a wide spectrum of people from Al-Amsaar who were against the legal Saudi intervention in Yemen also launched a large-scale, ongoing campaign against the Arabians – Saudis, Emiratis, and Bahrainis.</li><li>During the isolated Khashoggi incident, the Saudis were in a position where they could hardly distinguish between enemy and friend. Large segments of the peoples of Al-Amsaar in the Middle East, North Africa, and even immigrants in Europe and America, adopted the hostile Turkish position. The Saudis became a daily meal in Amsaari media, suffering shameful accusations against Saudi Arabia and against the great leader of future, The Arabian Knight, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It was the biggest political, media and economic campaign that has ever been launched against the Arabs in contemporary history. The Saudis were threatened with economic and political sanctions, but the high Saudi Arabian reputation defeated this historic satanic attack.</li><li>Frequently Palestinians show personal videos full of hatred and aggression toward Saudis and take part in demonstrations in which they burn and insult the pictures of the Saudi leaders, one of the most depressing of human behaviors.</li></ol>



<p>Many of the peoples of Al-Amsaar boast of ancient civilizations and ideologies that do not have any real cultural ties with their current ideologies of liberalism and leftism. They revere foreign revolutionary leaders such as Guevara, Castro, and Hitler, showing respect for them while hardly remembering their closest cultural model, the great King Abdulaziz Bin Abdulrahman Al-Saud. He is the singular icon representing the culture and his sons, kings and princes, are the best example that the peoples of Al-Amsaar can learn and benefit from. Because of the crisis of lost identity, however, and the resulting arrogance and hatred, the people flock to the alien. They reject the opportunity to learn from the unique and successful Saudi experience.</p>



<p>Throughout these long decades, Saudi Arabia has faced many such unethical and hostile attitudes by governments and large groups of peoples of Al-Amsaar, particularly the Palestinians. However, Saudi support has continued without limit, and the abuse has been met with little reaction in accordance with Islamic teachings and the strong Arabian moral heritage.</p>



<p>Many of the peoples of Al-Amsaar, especially the Palestinians, have been affected by various right-wing and left-wing extreme movements imported from the West and the East and extremist organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood. They have been fed for decades with aggressive rhetoric towards the successful Saudi Arabian monarchy, the Saudi traditional society, and the Saudi culture. This is evident in political attitudes, public literature, and political, social, cultural and literary discourse.</p>



<p>In the literature of the peoples of Al-Amsaar, including the Palestinians, neutral terms are used in a negative and aggressive racist manner against the Saudis in particular and the Arabian Gulf States in general as well as the nomads and Bedouins. Also negative, pejorative terms such as hypocrite, barbarian, retarded, and Zionist are also used despite Saudi Arabia’s unlimited support for these people. Despite all of this Saudi Arabian society represents the unique Arabian-Islamic model of benevolent prosperity in the region and the world.</p>



<p>Throughout the history of modern Saudi Arabia, large groups of people have used the term “Wahhabism” to denounce the Saudis as “Wahhabists,” which the Saudis reject and deny. This common anti-Arab term was imported from the Turkish Ottoman by the right-wing and left-wing parties of Al-Amsaar. This anti-Arab term has been exploited by the Persians and the peoples of Al-Amsaar in the same aggressive manner against Arabs, and the Saudis are branded as backward terrorists and extremists who do not deserve the good of Allah and what they have earned.</p>



<p>Large groups of people and the governments of Al-Amsaar, especially the Palestinians, have been engaging in aggressive and widespread campaigns for decades to distort and incite against the Saudis. The aggressive campaign extends from Iran and the entire Middle East and North Africa to Europe and America, where many of the immigrants of Al-Amsaar are locating. The campaign against Saudis, which many of them do not even recognize, extends to Western information, studies and intelligence centers where many Al-Amsaar immigrants work in translation and preparation, reporting, intelligence and even hold official positions.</p>



<p>In these aggressive campaigns, religious texts are modulated to condemn the Saudis, falsify Saudi Arabian history and the Saudi identity, slander the Saudis, and bully them politically, socially and culturally in the media. The original Islamic identity of the Saudi Arabian has been stolen and plagiarized by the peoples of Al-Amsaar who speak Arabic.</p>



<p>These aggressive campaigns peaked at the height of the leftist waves, such as Nasserism, Baathism, and others, where books and poems were written and speeches in political satire were directed against the Arabs. Demonstrations took place and the Arabs were repeatedly cursed by leaders, politicians, parties, intellectuals, media, professors and large groups of the Amsaari, with especially heavy participation by the Palestinians.</p>



<p>The Al-Jazeera terrorist channel is the spearhead of the project&nbsp;(the Israel-liberal in its two parts – Muslim brotherhood-Qatar)&nbsp;And hostile to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.&nbsp; It has been adopted by a wide range of people of Al-Amsaar, some having Western nationalities. The Al-Jazeera terror campaign has been raging since the mid-1990s and its appeal has been echoing throughout the peoples of Al-Amsaar.</p>



<p>The Al-Jazeera terrorist channel is located next to the Al Udeid American Base southwest of Doha, Qatar where US forces were launched to invade Iraq. Nearby are the Israeli Embassy, the Taliban Embassy, and Turkish and Iranian bases.</p>



<p>Even some Saudis have long been misled by false slogans about Islamic brotherhood and stolen Arabism to the point where they have almost lost their independent identity for the peoples of Al-Amsaar.</p>



<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>



<p>I would like to say to the great Saudi Arabians and the rest of the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula, the Arab minorities in the Middle East and North Africa and the people of Al-Amsaar that if there is an Arabian or Islamic nation today, Saudi Arabia must be the source, the cornerstone. If enough people care, Saudi Arabia must receive sufficient respect and appreciation for Arabian-Islamic and Amsaari relations to continue and be strengthened in a way that allows all peoples to live in peace and prosperity.</p>



<p>If there are not enough voices of nobility in the Al-Amsaari peoples to show respect and appreciation to the Saudis, the hatred and hostility shown by their elites and media to Saudi Arabia will be the norm. There are are some noble individuals but they constitute the exception.</p>



<p>The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the harbinger of revelation (The Qur’an and the Sunnah) and the cradle of the message of Islam, the direction of all Muslims and the homeland of the great Arabian messenger of Allah, Muhammad Ibn Abdillah (PBUH). It is the only country in the world that applies Sharia Law and serves Islam, Muslims and the guests of The Lord. It is even more astonishing that all the direct attacks and aggressive behaviors that Saudi Arabia faces and confronts are carried out by people claiming to be Arabs and Muslims.</p>
