Saudi King Abdullah said Friday that world silence over Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip was inexcusable, in a speech published by the official SPA news agency.
We see the blood of out brothers in Palestine being shed in collective massacres, that have spared nobody, and in war crimes against humanity
all taking place under the eyes and ears of the international community
that has stood indifferently watching events in the whole region, the king said.
This silence is inexcusable.

The world isn't silent.

(25,699 posts)There are few regimes in the world more worthless than the Saudi monarchy. There are some that are more vile, and more oppressive, sure (not many, but they're there - I'll take Saudi Arabia over North Korea, thanks) but in terms of just flat-out uselessness? I think they take the cake.
