Gaza in spotlight as Arab, Muslim blocs meet in Saudi
France 24 ^

Posted on 11/11/2023 5:21:53 AM PST by FarCenter

The emergency meeting of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) comes after Hamas militants' bloody October 7 attacks that Israeli officials say left about 1,200 people dead, mostly civilians, and 239 taken hostage.

Israel's subsequent aerial and ground offensive has killed more than 11,000 people, also mostly civilians and many of them children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Aid groups have joined pleas for a ceasefire, warning of a humanitarian "catastrophe" in Gaza, where food, water and medicine are in short supply.

The Arab League and the OIC were originally meant to meet separately.

Arab diplomats told AFP the decision to merge the meetings came after Arab League delegations had failed to reach an agreement on a final statement.

Some countries, including Algeria and Lebanon, proposed responding to the devastation in Gaza by threatening to disrupt oil supplies to Israel and its allies as well as severing the economic and diplomatic ties that some Arab League nations have with Israel, the diplomats said.

However, at least three countries -- including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which normalised ties with Israel in 2020 -- rejected the proposal, according to the diplomats who spoke on condition on anonymity.

Why would/should I give heed to anything that has one in-bred brain cell. ?

Hamas is murderous scum and Israel has had enough !

Wann'a know where all the illegals are ?

Spread all over the globe chanting they love Satan and hates God.

MOST of the people I see on TV illustrating the turmoil occurring because of US involvement in Viet Nam . . . . oops . . . . I mean The Israel/Hamas war . . . . . are darker skinned with black hair . . . so MOST of the crowds are long shots.

DEAL WITH IT.

I say things that are true. I have no proof, but they're true.

by threatening to disrupt oil supplies to Israel and its allies

this isn't 1973, when OPEC controlled 90% of the oil supply

now there's lots of other countries ready to rev up production if there's any cutoff, including the US, Canada, and Norway

another Muslim talk-shop ...

“People in Gaza need our help. They are being massacred and they are helpless.”
“Maybe we could save them by taking them in as refugees”

“Show yourself out. Now, how can we get them more weapons to attack Israel?”

"according to the Hamas-run health ministry."

Can they only get their information from terrorists? I think we should find out which reporters are embedded in their ranks and charge them with aiding and abetting international terrorism.

I don't know about Norway, but the Biden Administration is determined to cripple the energy industry, except for politically favored wind and solar. You likely know more about Canada than I do, but Trudeau seems to be a non-senile version of Biden, as bad if not worse than the current occupant of the White House.

Turn Israel loose to wipe the baby killers off the face of the Earth. Make sure the rest of their evil buddies don’t retaliate and start WWIII over a little speck of land the size of Las Vegas.

Problem is, Israel was too nice sending out announcements to leave the north because now Hamas, the cockroaches they are, have apparently scurried out of the whole of Gaza.

Isn't it spelled OINK?

Probably want to discuss how they can talk Jo Jo the Pedophile into getting the Palestinians out of the Middle East and into America to cause their booschidt. I imagine they think he’ll buy the Palies with from the boyz in the desert for a few hundred pallets of Benjamins.

Pipeline capacity out of Canada is limited.

The Blue-eyed Arabs of the North won’t increase production. They’ll bank the higher profits.
