 RetweetSaudis Continue to Finance Terrorism

Wed, Apr 30, 2003 at 7:12:34 pm PDT

Saudi Arabia has given more than $15 million dollars to the Palestinian Arab “government,” to help them continue with their sacred Jew-killin’.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken the necessary measures to transfer $15.4 million to the allocated account for the support of the Palestinian National Authority budget. In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Kingdom's permanent envoy to the Arab League Ambassador Faisal bin Hassan bin Terad said: "The government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd bin Abdulaziz has given and still gives its utmost concern for the Palestinian right and to achieve its just demands to set its Palestinian independent state with Al-Quds as its capital." He added: "This comes as a fulfillment of the Kingdom's to decision of the Sharm Al-Sheikh summit to renew the commitment of supporting the budget of the Palestinian authority for the next 6 months starting from April, 2003."

How much oil do they have left? What's the rate of consumption? I want to know just how much longer these bastards will be more than gnats in matters of world importance.

Just found this on frontpagemag.com, from February:


This is one US citizen of Arab/Moslem background who has no problem being profiled until the US conquers the war on terrorism. I trust the US and its constitution will be fair and just to Arab Americans, who should not feel threatened if they have nothing to hide. It is my duty as an American to do everything I can to combat terror and never ever see a repeat of 9/11.


...I initially thought he was a Middle Eastern Moslem from Iran. I said to myself: "Now that is a Moslem who makes sense and he is not ashamed to speak his mind after 9/11." I had been very frustrated from all the Arab and Moslem media pundits who day in and day out forget they are US citizens and say they are against terrorism but defend and explain away terrorism. My pride of this brave Moslem did not last long when I read his name "Daniel Pipes". I admired his views and wished that one Arab or Moslem would say the same thing.

Yeah, the Israeli are such a threat to the arabs, aren't they?

To most people, 15 million smackers is a LOT of money, but this token funding pales in comparison to the billions in funding by the Saudis of the cause of Wahhabism in another country.

That country would be the United States of America.

Whether or not the street knows it - and they don't - we are now in the early phases of the fight for our existence as a nation, and as the standard-bearers of the idea of democracy.

We have most of the EU and a good portion of NATO aligned against us - the old school appeasers of Europe - and most of the Arabic nations, and third-world oppressor nations as well. They are starting to sense a common ground of opposition to our position, which is one of self-determination of man.

That is very dangerous to all these folks, as they represent the dictator and dictator-enabler; the rapists and the voyeurs who profit from the rapes of mankind.

This war won't be quick, or easy. We will undoubtedly end up being forced to kill off some of our own citizens in order to protect the ideas set down by our framers over 200 hundred years ago.

It's happening now, and suddenly, and we are right in the midst of it. It is going to get bloody and scary and desperate before all is finished and a victor emerges.

I hope and believe that the victor will be the one that represents rightness and honor, because otherwise it means the end of democracy on earth, another untold dozens or hundreds or thousands of years of terror.

IndyMedia is part of the problem. We can't just go up and shoot these people for their hatred and ignorance, just like Israel cannot just wipe out the people in the PA controlled lands. Militant Islam KNOWS these things, and will be using them to coalesce the forces of their believers and sympathizers to undermine the efforts for equality and peace until, and if, they are defeated.

Is everyone ready? The time is here, and now.

Prepare yourselves.

The gift that keeps on killing. If the Saudis don't stop this crap, we should just seize their one TRILLION dollars in US based assets and tell them to hump a camel.

10 Joe Jalbert  Wed, Apr 30, 2003 6:04:02pm

I have only three words for the Saudis:

Democracy, Whisky, Sexy!

Lets start bombing Saudi with democracy cluster bombs, each containing several nips, a pinup of Helen Thomas in a bikini, and a revolver.

This could induce anything from a revolution to mass suicide.

The Horror! The Horror!

11 steve miller  Wed, Apr 30, 2003 6:13:54pm

Slightly OT, but related to the "horrible J-E-W-S who are EVERYWHERE": I went to an open house last night to see my kids' projects (along with their friends' projects). One of the kids did a research paper on Israel. He had a nice map done in salt-and-flour, a flag, some pictures, a set of research documents, and a map of the world, with an arrow pointing to Israel.

You couldn't see the country - the arrow point was bigger than Israel - you just had to believe it was there.

I was very proud of that kid, and I wonder if his parents are sub-rosa LGF'ers.

#7 grumps,

You got that right. And while everyone writes off France as the surrender monkeys, they are actively helping third world countries and USA haters like Iran to keep and develop their nuclear programs. France can't take us directly so they are doing their best to see WMD used by others against us and hoping for catastrophic results.

Look for France and Belgium some day to bar the US from Nato HQ as part of their effort to creat a new alliance opposed to us. I sure hope that we haven't got any sensitive intel stored there that those Euroscum will use against us or give to the Islamofacists.

From now on, all future diplomatic correspondence to France should be addressed to Chirac with his name, street address and GPS coordinates.

Strangely, the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this story was Gilbert Gottfried's character Iago from the Disney cartoon Aladdin:

What a surprise! I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die because of that surprise!

France and Chiraq and their ilk make me physically ill. These people are dirty. They have blood mixed with shit and the dirt of the graves of those they have murdered under their fingernails.

But at least their bank accounts are famously healthy.

And now France is being all lovey-dovey (everything's all right, ok, okey-dokey) now that they have formed their own anti-NATO of the Coalition of the Utterly Nonsensical Twits (****) along with Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany.

The smug frenchies are still just as full of themselves as ever. They are preparing for the onslaught against their integrity and honesty by jetting around Europe and the ME to host wine-tasting parties with the best caviar and catering, lots of laughing all around. They know how to blunt world hostility and anger against their scummy low-life actions - they'll just laugh it off.

Haha! You see, the subcretinous idiots of America and the other semi-humanoid cultures of the world can't see what's really happening, and they are so stupid, because we are French!

Why didn't we see this in the first place?

$15 million is peanuts compared to EU support:

'Unlike the old system, in which EU budgetary support was paid into the PA Single Treasury account for general budget expenditure to support the core activities of the administration, the new assistance will be targeted support, focussing on the private sector and social services.'

'The new Reform Support Instrument will be paid in addition to a range of other forms of assistance. Taken together, the level of assistance foreseen for the Palestinian Territories in 2003 will be ^245million, roughly in line with the level of aid in 2002.'

*Thinks we should bomb SA with old prono magazines*

17 piglet  Wed, Apr 30, 2003 7:35:15pm

If a "pro-israel splinter group" committed an action inside europe after every attack an Israel, and the Israeli government condemed the act, but pointed to the "root cause" do you think the EU might stop some of its funding of terrorism? I tink it just might. Probably harder to pull something like that on the Saudis.

I'm also thinking that the next time hamas has a suicide bomber parade Israel should drop several pallets of 50 pound ice blocks on their heads. By the time anyone can "investigate" the weapons have melted.

Maybe I'm just to angry today.

18 HULUGU  Wed, Apr 30, 2003 7:37:51pm

its time to make these camel****s the" former" custodians of the two holy mosques and return that title to the more moderate hashemites from which it was stolen by abdel aziz and his fanatic associates--the ikwhan---NEJDIES OUT OF OCCUPIED HIJAZ--lets see the hollywood left march for that cause!!

19 Charles  Wed, Apr 30, 2003 8:17:04pm

To those who've pointed out that this is a relatively small amount: true, but this is just one installment. The Saudis send regular payments of this size, every few months, including some earmarked especially for mujahideen -- i.e. terrorists.

20 gb  Wed, Apr 30, 2003 8:58:37pm

Charles,

I concur that the Saudi funding is a problem, however, EU complicity in the terrorist activity sponsered by the PA is inexcusable and questions regarding accountability and transparency are being deflected.

And from the NYT, this must be a bad joke by Rummy:

But the kingdom's critical role as the leading oil producer, its support for peace initiatives in the holy land and its intelligence cooperation against terror networks, some of which were spawned on its soil, has impelled the Bush administration to stick with its old ally, and to go along with yesterday's dismantling of the public image of military alliance.

"We do intend to maintain a continuing and healthy relationship with the Saudis," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday in Riyadh.

22 John S  Thu, May 1, 2003 3:59:35am

For some time now I have been wondering why the US was adamant in dealing with Iraq. Iraq after all was a secular state. Uniquely a Christian Tariq Aziz had risen to virtually the top in Iraq, something that it is virtually impossible in any Muslim or Arab country. Moreover 9/11 was perpetrated by Saudis and Egyptians.

So clearly the right target would have been Saudi Arabia and Egypt. However both these countries are ostensibly our allies. But really the attack of 9/11 was not about national identities but made by fanatic Sunni Muslims hankering for an Islamic caliphate, who saw the US as the prime obstacle in their path. Iraq meanwhile had been the centre of the caliphate. So in dealing with Iraq and promising democracy there, what the US has done is to turn over a historically Sunni Arab country to a Shiia majority (a version of Islam that Sunnis view with distaste).

For Muslims and in particular Sunni Arabs, loss of land to non-Sunni Arabs is a disaster of immense proportions. That is why Arabs call the loss of territory to Israel in 1948 and 1967 as al naqba. The US has thus effectively dealt the Sunni Arab world an al naqba. In fact a truly massive al naqba.

Have to take my hat of to you Mr. President. What a payback for the atrocity of 9/11.

#1 Kylear,

You can do a google on oil reserves and you will find stats that indicate Saudi oil will run out in about 100 years (at current rates of consumption). The crappiest part is they are the ones who will be holding the last drop.

REALLY GRUMPY,

Wow. You're flirting with crazy, my friend. Time to get some air or go to the movies. Something.
