MBS and the Saudis are the only ones benefitting from this. Plenty of innocent Yemeni civilans are going to suffer and its going to achieve nothing in regards to Gaza.

Nevermind any severe external negative effects like what will happen to already desperately struggling poor people in Egypt with its budget blown up by losing canal fees.

What sage voice of compassion and humanity conjured this perfect argument

south africa documented every israeli minister at every level of the government saying they wanted to slaughter everyone in gaza

israel countered by saying hamas were so evil that they're allowed to kill everyone in gaza

5 years from now the court will rule that israel has a right to do whatever the gently caress it wants.

Israeli writer and politician Avi Lipkin said that Israel's borders will extend from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia, after annexing Mecca, Medina, and Mount Sinai.

Lipkin said in a video clip on social media, "I believe that our borders will eventually extend from Lebanon to the Sahara Desert, that is, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and then from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates, and on the other side of the Euphrates will be the Kurds, and the Kurds are our friends."

He added, "So, we have the Mediterranean behind us, the Kurds in front of us, and Lebanon, which really needs an Israeli protection umbrella, and I think that after that we will take Mecca, Medina, and Mount Sinai, and we will work to cleanse those places."

Lipkin's statements are consistent with a document called the "Yinon Document" by the Israeli strategic journalist Oded Yinon, entitled "The Zionist Plan for the Middle East in the 1980s," which is based on the vision of the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl.

The document, which was first published in February 1982, focuses on the establishment of “Greater Israel,” and constitutes the cornerstone of the policies of the Israeli political forces represented by the current government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as in the policies of the Israeli army and intelligence institutions.

Yinon worked as a former advisor to former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in addition to his work in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in addition to being a journalist for the Jerusalem Post.

The plan focuses on weakening the Arab countries and dividing them later, as part of the Zionist expansionist project. It also refers to expanding settlement in the West Bank, expelling the Palestinians from Palestine, and annexing the West Bank and Gaza Strip to Israel, where, according to the document, “Greater Israel” includes parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

According to the document, Israel will establish a number of proxy states to ensure its superiority in the region.

oman is also extremely owned by the british considering the current ruler got put in place by the SAS and the brits have both a large military and intelligence presence in the country

edit: only recent source i can find is from chatham house saying the omanis said no to letting the brits base their attacks on yemen out of omani bases
https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/01/uks-participation-air-strikes-yemen-exposes-its-diminished-military-strength

quote:

Where the strikes originated is also of note, with the Typhoons launching from Cyprus. The UK has received access to bases in Oman in the past, but the Omanis clearly did not want to have the strikes launched from their territory. Launching from elsewhere in the Gulf would have been to overtly take sides in Yemen’s ongoing civil war.

"Report in the Wall Street Journal: Israel informed Egypt that it'll launch an operation to take over the Philadelphi Route. The operation will most likely include the deployment of Israeli forces in areas close to the border with Egypt and Israel, according to senior Israeli and Egyptian officials who were quoted in the American outlet."
