There have been reports about Saudi Arabia having a part in 9/11, and they're basically an ISIS that made it, yet they're our allies. Israel is continually invading Palestine, yet the US is supporting it. We even have general Patraus wanting to arm al-Queda, the group that attacked us on 9/11. What we do in the middle east is not for the good of humanity. It's for power and resources.
Uh, no. Saudi Arabia is not an Isis that made it. Saudi Arabia regime and the society may be guilty of extreme, anachronistical conservatism. But it is deeply rooted in the culture over which it rules and with which more or less coevolved over centuries.
So? Suddenly it's respectable?
I don't give a semblance of a fuck how Saudi Arabia came to be. It's a backwards shithole, and it can willingly move into the 21st century or get dragged into it kicking and screaming.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
