i gotta say im genuinely shocked they drew a hard line in the sand clearly in english like this, im amazed and if this is true and they stick to it its a really great diplomatic pressure theyre placing on the US. the total withdrawal from gaza part is also really incredible that they put in there for good measure.

thanks for meeting the absolute bare minimum guys

also, this means that Hamas has successfully achieved one of their major geo-strategic goals of the war in the first place, to scuttle any chance of saudi-israel normalization until thr palestinians get their rights.

Not gonna lie guys, I know it might be a lie but the statement put out by Saudi today has really lifted my spirits a little and is probably a nuclear bomb in terms of diplomatic pressure on the U.S. and Israel. given the incredibly low standards I have for arab countries they did very good. this was the absolute right move to do at this moment to make it clear 100% that there's no games to be had, and the fact that they're demanding total withdrawal from gaza too is a really good cherry on top. they drew a hard line in the sand, no recognition without a full 1967 independent palestine, full stop. this means no settlers on west bank, no troops in Gaza, period. this more than anything else is the best help Hamas can ask for from these losers other than military action.

even if there aren’t any demonstrations the anger in the streets is palpable. traditionally the Saudis are willing to arrest and torture every member of somebody’s family to prevent any dissent, but we’re getting to “I don’t care if the government wipes out my whole clan” levels of rage. if the government had agreed to normalization on Israel & the US’s terms it would be the end of the kingdom.

As Arab governments realize they've got a potential Arab Spring boiling underneath their feet in the coming years if they continue maintaining friendly relations with Israel, I think (I hope) that we'll see more and more of them placing conditions on their support for Israel (or preferrebly, terminating it entirely), and Israel is only worsening the situation for itself by flinging poo poo at everyone around it. The real knockout punch would be a breakdown of relations with Egypt, which are going to be placed under serious strain if Israel refuses to back down from its stated intent to push into Rafah and occupy the Philadelphi Route.

There's nothing the US could do to protect them even at the height of our power a few decades ago. It would mean basing American forces in Saudi Arabia, and doing that just to do Desert Storm directly inspired Osama bin Laden to put the United States at the top of his shitlist. The consequences of western dependency are difficult enough already.

awesome to see demands and schedules for implementing changes. i recently relistened to a bunch of vincent bevin's interviews about his new book about how the popular uprisings of the 2010s got co-opted by right-wing psychos and misrepresented by liberal media when the original, horizontally organised protesters refused to take leadership of the movements they started.
