Saudi Arabia denying Visas to Palestininans
Nov 10th, 2018 at 9:31am
 
Quote:
Saudi Arabia bars nearly 3 million Palestinians from Hajj and Umrah


Riyadh is denying visas to Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, East Jerusalem and Israel who wish to perform pilgrimages

Saudi Arabia is barring more than one and a half million Palestinian citizens of Israel from travelling on temporary Jordanian passports to perform the Islamic pilgrimages of Hajj and Umrah in the holy city of Mecca, Middle East Eye can reveal.

The measure is part of Saudi Arabia's new policy to stop issuing visas for Hajj and Umrah to Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, East Jerusalem, and, most recently, to Palestinians living in Israel, who hold temporary travel documents issued by Jordan or Lebanon - a policy that became effective on 12 September.

This Saudi move affects 2.94 million Palestinians in total across these states, who have no access to any other form of travel document allowing them to go to Saudi Arabia, where millions of Muslims travel each year on pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Several travel agents spoken to by MEE in Israel, East Jerusalem and Jordan said that they were informed by Jordan's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs that the Saudi embassy in Amman told them to not apply for visas for anyone seeking to travel to Mecca on a temporary Jordanian passport.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Jared Kushner's dirty fingerprints and stench are all over this.

Filthy lucre is the currency of the Donald Trump administration and Jared's pockets are stuffed.

Corruption is evident.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

To counter Iran, you need to add.  And because the sunni Arabs know that Israel is no threat to them, unlike Iran.

OK. Prove it.

PS On second thought, just supply some compelling evidence.

On the 2014 Israeli attack on Gaza:

Quote:
The attack on Gaza comes by Saudi Royal Appointment. This royal warrant is nothing less than an open secret in Israel, and both former and serving defense officials are relaxed when they talk about it.  Former Israeli defence minister Shaul Mofaz surprised the presenter on Channel 10 by saying Israel had to specify a role for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the demilitarisation of Hamas. Asked what he meant by that, he added that Saudi and Emirati funds should be used to rebuild Gaza after Hamas had been defanged.


There really isn't any mystery why, as the article explains:

Quote:
Why do Saudi Arabia and Israel make such comfortable bedfellows? For decades both countries have had a similar feeling in their gut when they look around them: fear. Their reaction was similar .Each felt they could only insure themselves against their neighbours by invading them (Lebanon, Yemen) or by funding proxy wars and coups (Syria, Egypt, Libya). They have enemies or rivals in common - Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Hamas in Gaza, and Muslim Brotherhood elsewhere. And they have common allies, too - the US and British military industrial establishments, Fatah strongman and US asset Mohammed Dahlan who tried to take over Gaza once, and will probably be ready to do so again.

I don't expect to convince Gandalf of anything. He is completely biased by his religion, but for anyone who reads this thread, note Gandalf's compelling evidence boils down to an "open secret."

As for the quoted article, it is written by Hearst, and is nothing more than the opinion of one who would like to see Israel done away with. Take note how he blames Israel for ignoring the Arab Peace Initiative for "12 years."

Here's an actual quote from Wikipedia:

"More recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed tentative support for the initiative, saying he accepts the "general idea" with significant caveats, specifically its calls for Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights and accept the relocation of millions of Palestinian refugees into Israel."

The Golan Heights were captured in a war planned by the Arabs. It was won fair and square, and any government or military that gives up the high ground to a fanatical enemy, deserves what they get.

As for relocating Islamics from the territories into Israel, that would be a recipe for disaster.

You have to remember that Gandalf supports nuclear arms for Iran too, a government, for want of a better term, that by its own reckoning, will see the destruction of Israel in less than 5 years.

What he actually said was:

Quote:
The Arab Peace Initiative supported by 22 Arab States and 56 Muslim countries would indeed have been a basis for peace had Israel not ignored it some 12 years ago.


And they did ignore it 12 years ago (as of time of writing - 2014), simple statement of fact:

Quote:
The Israeli government under Ariel Sharon rejected the initiative as a "non-starter".[3] Sharon said the new plan could not be accepted because it would replace UN resolutions 242 and 338, which called for bilateral negotiations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Peace_Initiative

A quick point on the right of return, no one is seriously suggesting that millions of Palestinians be allowed to suddenly flood into Israel. The issue is one of principle - the Palestinians essentially want Israel to acknowledge that people were kicked out of their homes unjustly and to acknowledge an 'in-principle' only right of return for those families. In practice this might result in just a symbolic statement acknowledging this in-principle right, or a very small tokenistic acceptance of some refugees back to Israel. Certainly not demographic-breaking stuff. It should be understandable why Israel's refusal to even consider such a negotiation is a pretty major affront to the Palestinians.

By the way, please stop regurgitating the lie that I support Iran having nukes. Very poor form issue.

ALL Muslim Arabs are demanding just that.


You lie predictably, Muslim.
