    They’re mostly American puppet states such as Saudi and Egypt. Their government doesn’t care about anything but pocketing money. American puppet Sisi was just reelected in Egypt by arresting everyone running against him.

    Insurgency groups are growing though since their governments doing nothing really pisses off the civilians. They’re not directly attacking israel but instead attack israeli or American targets close to them

      Saudi has America, not the other way around. They knocked America’s towers and they sold them weapons and shook their hands.

        No Osama went out of Saudi to Afghanistan to fight the Russians with a group of Saudi Jihad warriors under American support.

        Then when Russia was defeated in Afghanistan, Palestine cried for help against the Israeli genocide so Osama turned against America which was (and is) massively supporting the Israeli genocide.

        The previous Saudi ruler Faisal did turn against America for Palestine and turned off the oil. Then he subsequently was assassinated by his nephew which loved America and had an all American get up. Most likely a CIA intervention but no evidence for it.

        Now we have MBS, the current Saudi Leader. Hevonly wants money and will do whatever will give him the most money. He will not wage any wars (for Palestine for example). And his morals change at a whim to whatever provides the most money. He’s basically Mr Crabs.

          Wasn’t it the Saudi funded radicalist Islam sect that were behind the attacks?

            The Bin Laden family is a rich Saudi family and Osama was just one member. They cannot arrest someone’s entire family for something that a random uncle did on his own

            Radical Islam wasn’t behind the attacks. It was vengeance for America ruining many countries and stealing their oil. I’d suggest you read his letter. https://www.newsweek.com/osama-bin-laden-letter-america-transcript-full-1844662

            The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq," bin Laden wrote. "This is why the American people cannot be innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us.

            (He did use the word Jews instead of Zionists sometimes which was completely wrong and anti semitic)

            Just like 7 Oct, 9/11 didn’t just happen because someone picked up a Quran and disliked “freedom” as much as the American government likes people to believe so

            The civilians of Saudi are Muslims but their government (the Saud family) are not that interested religious. They just wanna make bank selling oil. Problem is that if they go too much against the will of their population they risk a coup.

            MBS still wants to recognize israel in order to make more oil money, but if he does so now without the Palestinians getting any rights back in return, his population (and worst case the military) will turn against him because he’s just a greedy POS without any morals. Last thing he wants is a coup.
