I think it is important to note that Saudi Arabia did not attend the unveiling of the "Mideast Peace Plan"
It's driven by US and Israeli domestic politics and does not take into account any domestic or regional political considerations for any of the Arab governments close to the US.
Nor does it have any realistic chance of getting implemented so all downside and no upside for US allies in the region.
For example it gives Hamas a veto power over any progress basically giving the Israelis reassurance that they will not have to give anything up?
It even extends that to Islamic Jihad or any other group that refuses to lay down its arms. Knowing that they will never consensually do so makes this a plan designed for optics only, US and Israeli domestic optics.

For all those who have poured scorn on me for “defending the indefensible,” let me say the following:
Many of you don’t give a damn what happens to Saudi Arabia, my country, either out of ignorance or malice toward the country or out of hatred for Trump, and you see this tragic event as a convenient weapon to use against the president.
Jamal was murdered in a horrific fashion by people who should be and will be treated as criminals, having carried out a stupid, botched operation that should have never been attempted in the first place.

#Saudi feminist Loujain Al-Hathloul has been in solitary confinement for more than 7 months. The #Saudi regime detained her in 2018 for her fight to end the ban on women driving & male guardianship. Support her nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize.

Loujain Al-Hathloul, 29, has been waterboarded, subjected to electric shocks and threatened with rape. We remember you, Loujain. #FreeLoujain
Here is a thread with background that I have been posting since Nov 2018 when reports first surfaced of the torture that Loujain and other detained women’s rights activists have been subjected to #FreeLoujain

Could this be behind the closing of the #IsraeliEmbassies? Eliminating protection from dual-citizen asylum? Some big criminal names on this list. #TickTock #Qanon saving #Israel for last. Was #Mossad behind 9/11?
“All #Israeli representations over the world are closing”

@EricHolder has asked an important question:

#When was #America #ever #great?

I realize that there is a nearly unavoidable tendency to snort and spew one's coffee when they hear or read his question for the first time. But, honestly, isn't it worth the exercise to answer it?
So, @EricHolder, I'm going to do just that, and I'm going to ask my ragtag bag of followers and detractors to contribute as well.

I'm going to offer my evidence of moments of American greatness. And I'm going to ask those that read this thread to do the same.
But wait!

There's more!

I'm going to ask my detractors and antagonists (are you seeing this @fedupaton) to contribute as well, and will welcome from them both moments of greatness and moments of shame.

After some digging I have found a few more verified accounts that appear to have been bought/hacked/taken over by pro-Saudi/MBS accounts. Will tweet them.... #Saudi @verified
First up is quite morbid. It appears that David 'Dave' Shwartz a former weatherman with the @weatherchannel, who sadly died of cancer in 2016, had his account taken over by فعاليات القصيم (Qassim Events). The account is followed by loads of pro-MBS accounts, and is glitchy
RIP David Shwartz, sorry to say your Twitter afterlife has been turned towards potentially whitewashing a criminal regime. @weatherchannel

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.
