You could also point out that until 1962, slavery was legal in Saudi Arabia.
Eh? I thought it was legal there until 1974?
It’s still the practice, just no longer the law of the land...
Slavery is still widely practiced in Saudi. Philipino and women from other SE Asian countries are recruited to work for wealthy families. They are then accused of theft, threatened with prosecution, and then forced to work for little or no money. There are thousands in this predicament in the Kingdom. Will a civil-rights fanatic like Jimi ibn Qarter speak out about this practice? The likelihood is zero. Who would then pay the light bill at the Qarter Anti-Israel and Pro-HAMAS Center in Atlanta?
