World Silence On Israel ‘War Crimes’ Is ‘Inexcusable:’ Saudi King Abdullah

By Agence France-Presse
Friday, August 1, 2014 11:54 EDT

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.”

I have seen protests against the Israeli offensive all over the world. Also, numerous leaders around the world have condemned Israeli actions. A number of South American countries have pulled their diplomats from Israel.

The world isn't silent.

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.

Back channel, his government, the UAE and Egypt are pushing the Israelis to take out Iranian backed Hamas.

The regional ME war has begun.
