Al Arabiya network, owned by the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and managed under the direct supervision of the ruling family.
This is a review of their coverage in the last 12 hours.
🧵Thread
1- It aims to depict the situation in Gaza as if Gaza was a paradise, and then the "mistake" of October 7 led to the deterioration of the situation in Gaza, not the Israeli army, clearly adopting the official Israeli narrative.
2- They do not publish statements from Palestinian resistance factions!
Instead, they only publish statements from Israeli politicians and leaders, trying to portray a victory for the Israeli army in Gaza.
I searched their official account for the last 12 hours and did not find a single statement from the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
3- They follow this policy with Yemeni armed forces too, they only publish the US Central Command statements.
4- a surprising attack on the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a Sunni group.
They depict themselves as being against Hezbollah because they are “Shia,” therefore portraying themselves as doing this because they “care” for Sunnis.
But in reality, they also attack the only Sunni political movement, which is the Muslim Brotherhood!
They have unleashed a series of attacks and propaganda against the Muslim Brotherhood in the past 12 hours!
This means Saudi Arabia is anti-political Islam and anti-resistance, no matter what form it takes.
Meanwhile, they spread all sorts of secular content and ideas.
Bonus:
This is a visit by King Salman to the Saudi MBC group in the 90s in London, to check the equipment and operations when the media group was located in London in the early 90s.
This was before it moved to the Middle East and before the launch of the news channel Al Arabiya to "compete" with the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera.
The kid picking his nose in the back is none other than MBS.

What actually happened in the past few days in Syria?

To understand, we have to go back months. After taking over Damascus, the Syrian revolutionaries issued a general amnesty for all officers and military personnel of the Assad regime’s army.
They established reconciliation centers in every province under their control, where soldiers would surrender their weapons and receive a card confirming that they had settled their status. They would not be held accountable for their service in Assad’s army as long as they had not committed war crimes or participated in massacres. After that, they would return to being ordinary Syrian citizens.
Thousands have settled their status.

This step provoked the majority of Syrians, who saw it as a naïve move to forgive those who had committed crimes, killed more than a million Syrians based on identity, and displaced 13 million others.
However, the Syrian administration stated that anyone with accusations against specific individuals should file a complaint at security centers, where their cases would be reviewed according to the law.
The security situation, the availability of weapons among some civilians, and the anger toward the Syrian administration-seen as indifferent to their grievances-led to isolated incidents where individuals who knew of officers responsible for killing their relatives took matters into their own hands. They would eliminate the officer and leave a note on the body stating the officer’s name, workplace, and the crime he had committed.
These incidents were limited and disappeared after the first two months, as Syria’s Ministry of Interior forces established control. With regular security patrols in place, it became difficult for any Syrian citizen to seek revenge.

Rabbi Eliyahu Mali
“The Torah does not allow you to let every soul live” “The terrorists of today are the children of the past.”
Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, head of a Jewish religious school in occupied Yafa, urged his IDF students during a lesson he gave on Friday 1 Mars 2024,to kill all Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including infants, children, women, and the elderly.
When asked about what should be done to infants and the elderly, Mali simply answered: “The same.”

Everything you need to know about the bus bombings in Tel Aviv.
🧵 Thread 1,2,3,4
1,
At 8:30 p.m., the first explosion occurred at a bus depot near Bat Yam’s stadium, followed by another blast at a nearby lot. A third explosion was later reported at a depot near Wolfson Medical Center in Holon (Hebrew media).
2,
In addition to the first three simultaneous bus explosions, an unexploded bomb was found on a fourth bus in the Tel Aviv suburbs (according to Hebrew media).
What’s interesting is the Arabic writing on this one:
The text is unreadable, but if you try to make it out, it spells:
“Martyrs, Nasrallah, Ssinwar.”
Sinwar is misspelled using ص instead of س.
No Arab would make such a mistake unless they wanted it to appear as a false flag, or it is one.
The UAE’s war on Muslims in the West and its meddling in European internal affairs.

SWISS COMPANY HIRED BY UAE FOR ANTI-MUSLIM DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN
As revealed by European Investigative Collaborations in the Abu Dhabi Secrets investigation, the secret services of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hired Alp Services – a Swiss firm specialising in smear campaigns, spreading disinformation and creating fake accounts – in 2017 to spy on European citizens, among others.
Alp Services illegally shared the names of thousands of European citizens with the Emirati secret services.
Organisations, politicians and activists in 18 European countries were targeted and discredited by wrongly connecting them to a radical Islamist network This smear campaign has damaged their reputations and contributed to public distrust of Muslims and Islam.

What is the petrodollar, and what is its connection to Israel?
After the Vietnam War, the United States emerged with massive debts amounting to $168 billion, which was significant compared to the U.S. federal budget at the time, ranging from $92 billion in 1960 to $195 billion in 1970.
To solve this massive alarming problem, in 1971, Nixon decided to separate the dollar from gold. Henry Kissinger went to Saudi Arabia to convince King Faisal not to sell oil except in dollars in exchange for absolute American protection of the ruling regime.
After this decision, it became imperative for all oil-producing countries to sell oil only in US dollars, making the dollar the global currency.
There are more than 200 countries in the world, and these countries can be divided into two categories: energy producers and consumers. If you are a "country" and want to buy oil for your people, you must use the US dollar because oil-producing countries only sell it in dollars.
If the people in the Middle East decide to choose their rulers, and an elected ruler decides to sell oil in another currency, and Arab oil-producing countries follow suit, this means that non-oil-producing countries no longer need the US dollar.
But where will the US dollar around the world go?
It will go to the only place where you can use it, which is the United States. Then you will witness an unprecedented financial inflation in history, and all taxes will be unable to keep up.
But where does Israel fit into this equation?
Israel is the advanced military base for the United States. Its presence near oil-rich countries, like a sentry, is both feared and relied upon, ensuring that things remain as they are.
The Saudi oil embargo, which occurred in 1973, it was a cover-up for the upcoming deal with the US, which essentially allowed the US to print money out of thin air. This agreement significantly elevated the importance of the Middle East for US global domination.
Petrodollar has no link to Faisal’s assassination:
Decided *1971
Passed 1973
Saudi signed the deal 1974
Faisal assassination 1975

What was the real reason the US invaded Iraq, and why did France oppose it?
In November 2001, only two countries were attempting to escape the petrodollar system: Venezuela and Iraq.
Hugo Chavez's Venezuela had set up a system for exchanging oil for goods and services with other Central American countries.
Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, then under trade regulation imposed by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee, had asked the Committee for permission (which was granted) to receive payment for its oil exports in euros.
3 years after that, the US invaded Iraq in March 2003, which immediately put an end to escaping the petrodollar.
Why did France oppose the invasion?
Jacques Chirac was against the war on Iraq because Saddam Hussein decided to sell oil in euros.
Saddam Hussein believed that choosing the currency of a powerful entity capable of confronting America would protect him, as it would be beneficial for the entity as well. This shows that Saddam Hussein knew America would not let this pass peacefully.
Saddam Hussein's failure in this regard was due to his trust in international law and his belief that a state with veto power could stop any aggression against Iraq.
The invasion of Iraq was not solely for that reason, but also because Iraq was a sovereign state with an established doctrine underpinning its sovereignty
What’s the Ba’ath ideology ?
The Ba'ath Party is a secular Arab nationalist party whose goal was to unify Arabs under a single rule (although the goals might seem noble, it was merely a pretext for the non-Muslim minority in the Arab world to attain power, though Saddam Hussein truly believed in the Ba'athist message).
And evidence of this is that he said,
"If Hafez al-Assad's regime agrees to unify Syria and Iraq under one rule, I would accept that both the Iraqi and Syrian regimes step down, and that elections be held under the supervision of observers from both the Iraqi and Syrian Ba'ath parties, along with observers from other Arab countries."

(Saddam Hussein would have won any fair election in any Arab state in a landslide)
And that’s a threat to the American interests in the region. If Iraq and Syria were united, what would prevent other smaller Arab entities from joining, whether willingly or under threat?
The first two victims of this, if it were to happen, would undoubtedly be the petrodollar and Israel.
This is one of the main reasons for the West's unlimited support and encouragement of the war between Iraq and Iran to exhaust Iraq and prevent it from engaging in a war that, if occurred, would be detrimental to their interests.
Had this war not been with an equal opponent like Iran, it would have been with the Hafez al-Assad regime, which Iraq's Saddam could have easily obliterated in a matter of days.
