why doesn’t the saudi military come in and deport them all back to europe and america then? they really should. if you have a birth certificate not from palestine or “israel” you should be deported, then go back to the 1947 borders before the creation of israel

  • Israel is deranged and has the strongest military in the middle east atm, and nukes
  • The US has its navy on every major trade route
  • Europe's biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.

Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

On the bright side, almost any nation is capable of destroying Israel because despite its arsenal of American weapons, it is very small.

The Saudi military is a proxy of the us military, given how much of Saudi arms come from the Americans.

Well, if they did, I suppose Trumpist America would do to Saudi Arabia what they did to Iraq in the Gulf War

The US would turn the entirety of Saudi Arabia into another Gaza. Sometimes it is wise to know how weak you are.

The house of Saud is shit. They'd never do anything cool ever, not out of fear but because they're colonizers themselves.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Conquerors not colonizers, they had support from most of the major tribes. While recently they began acknowledging how diverse Saudi Arabia is, for the longest of time they had a policy of Najdification. They still show contempt to some aspects of the local cultures specially traditional Hejazi headdress.

I'm somewhat torn because there's a lot of positives but also some negatives that came from the conquest and unification of the Peninsula. I still prefer this outcome to being five or six different states, even if my ancestors fought for the Kingdom of Hejaz.

Some say they took money from the Brits to take over at the end of the 2nd WW as a end to kalifat.

Saudi fought against the Caliphate alongside the British in order to secure their own land. Originally Palestine was supposed to be included in Saudi's bounty but the British gave it to the Zionists.

Because China hasn't taken Taiwan and made up with India yet
