Iran is cutting in on the Saudis business, it’s like Bloods vs Crips.

We don’t execute people in this country for ripping a Koran like the Saudis do.

Excellent Observation. I have added one group of men/women to your post.

“A new Axis:
Saudi Money, Jordanian, Egyptian Men, and Kurdish Fighters, Israeli technology.”

Worse things could happen.

“What is wrong with the planet? Only the Israelis show consistency in fighting world terror?”

Which is why the left wing rats hate Israel so much. Israel for decades has shown us the way to contain and destroy those who want to harm others, aka Islamic terrorists.

That would then remove the option, which would be very bad for Israel. Hence, for this newspaper to publish it is unbelievably stupid, even outright treasonous.

It's called psyching out the enemy. It's been going on for yrs, always with some deadline, March, April, September, maybe January, etc... Problem is psyching out the enemy this way has limits.

This is just the left-wing Times of Israel stirring up trouble for Bibi, at the strategic expense of the State of Israel.

The Times of Israel receives financial support from Boston-based Seth Klarman, founder of Baupost Group and chairman of The David Project, who has said he is opposed to Israel's settlement movement. Several Times editors previously worked for Ha'aretz. Ha'aretz is a radical leftist paper, often referred to as al-Ha'aretz, the Arab newspaper written in Hebrew and English. Haaretz English Edition editors Joshua Davidovich, Raphael Ahren, and Yoel Goldman joined The Times as news editors,and Haaretz Arab affairs correspondent Avi Isaacharoff joined as Middle East analyst.

What is Oba going to do, attack everybody who supports Israel? More like a child
throwing a tantrum in the WH and yelling at everybody. But he probably does that anyway.

Sanctions against Arabia but not Iran maybe? At this point anything ludicrous isn't surprising.
Meanwhile John Boehner continues to Fluff Obama.

“I find it almost funny that they want to keep ISIS out of their country, as if they’re some great moral society.

These savages do beheadings, stonings, etc. - I don’t see how they’re very different. I guess it’s ok when they’re doing the slaughtering.”

Your point is spot on.

The Saudis probably will say “Yes, we’re a little extreme about how we want things in our country - but we’ll at least sit down and talk with you some. ISIS won’t at all. Better the devils you know than the ones you don’t”.

Saudis keep their friends close, and their enemies even closer.

That's called speculation.

Guess, as before, we'll find out if it is well speculated or not, as speculations continue..

Yeah. With daesh playing the role of MS-13.

We don’t execute people in this country for ripping a Koran like the Saudis do.

Looking at the actual events from the US, the impression I get is that some of the people executed for these types of "crimes" are either political or religious dissidents.

In the US, we don't execute political dissidents, we just turn Lois Lerner and the IRS loose on them.

The Saudis execute less than 100 people per year, less than 50 in many years, while the US executes several dozen.

In almost all cases of execution for religious reasons, the accused has a few days to recant and follow Islam. Once one has earned the wrath of Lois and her comrades, there is no chance to recant.

What it shows is the utter falsehood that the problems facing Islam and the Middle East are in anyway related to Israel and the Palestinians. They are and always have been related to the civil war within Islam between the Sunnis, in the shape of Saudi Arabia, and the Shias, in the shape of Iran.

The Saudis don’t give, and never have given, a fiddler’s frat for the Palestinians they do on the other hand care very deeply indeed about the threat to their leadership in Islam from the Shia heretics of Iran.

What is astonishing is the west and principally the United States taking sides in this civil war and taking sides with the wrong bunch.

This will not make me popular here but the fact remains that the US is backing a medieval, theocratic, corrupt, nepotistic, backward nation like Saudi Arabia, in which no dissent is permissable and where women and minority faiths have no rights against Iran a fairly modern, educated, half-decent (we’re talking about the Middle East so these things are of course relative) state in which Jews and Christians are tolerated and where women have a very great degree of freedom and which used to be a very good friend of the west.

It was Sunni Saudis who attacked the US on 911, it is the Sunnis backed by the Saudis who comprise ISIS and who were the main backers of the war against the US in Iraq and yet mind-bogglingly we have been brainwashed into believing the Saudis are our friend and the Iranians, who haven’t posed any real threat to US interests in almost thirty years, are the bad guys.

Saudi oil money buys you a lot of influence in Washington and always has done, to the extent that the US military has become a modern day force of janissaries backing the Saudi caliphate.

If Nixon could make peace with China and Reagan could make peace with Gorbachev I see no earthly reason why the US cannot reach out to the intelligent people of Iran and stop supporting the murderous freaks of Saudi Arabia.

But no, we still think in black and white and retain our ancient belief despite all evidence to the contrary that the Saudis are our friends and the Iranians are our enemies. It is truly bizarro world.
