1. I criticize Saudi Arabia all the time including on global platforms
2. My main audience are in Saudi Arabia (top four out of three cities)
3. In my work, I channel many Saudi voices who cannot speak out on their own
4. If the Saudi regime has a hit list, I'm on it
5. I've been targeted before by the Saudi regime's staunchest ally, the UAE
6. I'm stateless, so targeting me has minimum sovereign repercussions
7. In the quoted tweet below, senior adviser to MBS says "the assassinations file is reopened"
8. I've also received credible death threats from ISIS
9. I have pissed off just about every dictator and terrorist in town
10. If I'm killed, nobody will know who did it
11. I've also received death threats from Saudi regime propaganda accounts (not nearly as much as Jamal)
12. I've spoken out about suicidal impulses before, so they could make it look like a suicide
13. All your words of support will not bring back the dead or deter a murderer
14. If they are to kill me, so be it, it's the life I chose, but I don't want it to happen in front of my son
15. "Hey Iyad, take a day off, just relax and get away from Twitter"
16. "We have examined your report carefully and determined there were no violations to the Twitter rules"
17. Fuck you
18. Have a nice day
