Oh Bandar bin Sultan ... the Kingdom reprehensible food
WITHOUT any flatteries or empty media showdown, the truth should have been told decades ago about those people who imposed themselves for the past 72 years as the custodians of patriotism, which they issue to those who fulfill their criteria, as well as those people who blow their trumpets to decide which direction the Palestinian issue should take to find a solution.
Such a temperament has led to many defeats and tragedies ... and this is what Prince Bandar bin Sultan revealed in his recent television interview, during which he called out on hypocrisy, betrayal and ungratefulness.
Indeed, the Palestinian cause is a just cause but its advocates are failures, and its leaders are always betting on the loser.
Since the beginning of the conflict, they fell into the arms of Hitler and the Nazi Gestapo. They then rushed to the Soviet Union, raised the banner of hostility towards the Arabs, and accused the Gulf states of reactionary and defeatism because the latter spoke openly to them without mincing their words. They even described Habib Bourguiba as a traitor.
Afterwards, they became the mouthpieces and hired guns of Gaddafi of Libya, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, and others who hired the Palestinians to undermine their most honorable supporters in the Arabian Gulf region. They even carried out terrorist operations in these countries.
Despite all of this, nothing has changed ... They are now recruiting the off springs to the Persian and Ottoman regimes to serve their expansionist scheme in the Arab region. They think they are intimidating the Gulf Cooperation Council member states into rushing to fulfil their forbidden demands. However, as far as the GCC’s point of view goes, they are mere agents who sold themselves to the thugs of Tehran and Ankara.
These subjugated people lost the rights of the Palestinians while seeking their personal gains, turning their “militant” factions into family companies that seek neither liberation nor an independent state, but instead focus on increasing wealth and luxuries. While they are doing this, millions of their people live a life of poverty and indignity in camps in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, and even in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Prince Bandar bin Sultan was very frank ... and in light of his words, we ask the question – “Is it not time for Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the rest of these Gulf Cooperation Council countries to face the truth and tell them loudly that failed wars will not lead to any results, and that the era of trafficking in the blood of their people has elapsed for good?”
Throughout the last seven decades, we have not seen anything except demands for more financial support. When anyone tries to question about how they spent the money they receive in support of the Palestinian cause, the response often comes in the form of insults and accusations of working for Zionism and imperialism ... they may even assassinate those who question them.
Today they have waged a hostile campaign against the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain for signing the Abraham Accords, and are threatening the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait by pressuring them against making a purely sovereign decision. However, they are not doing this because of their keenness about the issue but because they fear that the flow of money will stop.
Therefore, we will say this again: We wish Prince Bandar bin Sultan was more frank about this matter, and revealed more of their plots. We wish this would be interpreted into the policy of Saudi Arabia. Its flaws, from the perspective of the Palestinian politics, are just “reprehensible food”, as the Gulf proverb goes.
