If you read the full article, it seems as if the Saudi religious establishment was infiltrated by Egyptian extremists fleeing a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood following the assassination of Sadat. Their ideology meshed with Wahhabism and Bin Laden's religious vendetta against the United States. The Saudi state apparatus did not have effective oversight over the religious establishment and so this all happened under the House of Saud's nose. The countries in red are (at the time) places with either US puppet regimes or some form of Arab Revolt descended, nominally secular/socialist regimes. The religious extremists pushing Islamic rule operated in these countries under various militias and terrorist groups, notably Al Qaeda, backed by the newly radicalized Saudi Wahhabi establishment, and of course, Iran.

From that perspective, the US was waging war against militias and terrorist groups with roots and support in Saudi Arabia, but the House of Saud was not considered to be complicit. The article goes on to say...

Astonishingly, the attacks of 9/11 had little effect on the Saudi approach to religious extremism, as diplomats and intelligence officials have attested. What finally changed royal minds was the experience of suffering an attack on Saudi soil. In May 2003, gunmen and suicide bombers struck three residential compounds in Riyadh, killing 39 people. The authorities attributed the attacks to al-Qaeda, and cooperation with the U.S. improved quickly and dramatically.

Interesting stuff, to be sure.

On the other hand, Tuvix creeped me out.

I'm a white supremacist because I don't believe that Hamas is drinking lattes with kidnapped elderly Zionists?

No, I'm wondering where I suggested that all Palestinians are Hamas.

I wonder why two things can't be outrageous.

Was that in the comment where I said Netanyahu needs to be ventilated?

I'm not trying to change your mind. I agree with you. I just think you're dumb for buying Hamas propaganda and an asshole for spreading it.

What misinformation? What apologia? Why are you denying what happened on October 7? Just say you support it.

Those pictures are all over the internet, but here's the specific article I got them from which I'm sure you're very interested in. You know the Nazis took pictures of Jews playing in orchestras and doing sports and shit, right?

I'm not a Zionist, but I'm also not a fucking moron. The world shouldn't be surprised when Israeli children get murdered in their beds, but we also shouldn't pretend it didn't happen and Hamas are just joyriding in golf carts with smiling old Jews. You're quite literally trying to manipulate people into supporting Hamas, a terrorist group that murdered and kidnapped over 1k people two weeks ago, for fuck's sake. And you accuse me of manipulating people by posting photos of the aftermath? You're a gaslighting piece of shit. See a therapist.

For the record, Israel disgusts me more every year. Netanyahu needs to be ventilated the same way his supporter did Rabin and I hope the settlements in the West Bank burn to the ground.

I guess this is ketchup all over that child's bunk bed & sheets?

Great topic. A lot of my discovery was through /r/listentothis, but I'm 100% off reddit now, so these recommendations are helpful.

I've basically never used Twitch. Are you saying there's something akin to independent radio on there? How are these streams structured?

The British did not partition Israel. A civil war between Zionist settlers and Palestinian Arabs broke out in the wake of the UN partition plan vote, the British noped out, the Zionists declared independence and fought & won a war against the Arab League.
