I'm guessing it was probably the Israelis. Though, the Saudis could also be another possibility.

There obviously is a certain similarity to the "democracy" in the far west.

“Jon Voight says Trump is the 'only man who can save this nation' in anti-left video message
The Hollywood actor slams President-elect Joe Biden, California Gov. Newsom and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi”

Goddamn he’s as nutty as I am.

At first I thought John Voight was the dad from 3rd Rock from the Sun and was very sad but then I realized that was John Lithgow and everything was right again.

If you’re a covid denier think how wild it must seem that businesses are not being allowed to operate.

Egypt singer Mohamed Ramadan faces lawsuit over photo with Israelis

Quote:

A prominent Egyptian singer who was photographed posing with two Israeli celebrities at a party in Dubai faces a court hearing in Egypt next month.

A lawyer has filed a suit accusing Mohamed Ramadan of "insulting the Egyptian people" with the images, which were condemned by many Arabs online after Israel's government shared them.

The syndicate of Egyptian artists also said it was suspending his membership.

The 32-year-old insisted he had not known the celebrities' nationalities.

I remember Hitchens saying that while he was in Iran, the intellectual class kept saying "Why won't the American's invade" and he was happy about the sentiment at first, but he then realized that if they won't have a revolution themselves, then it's just people wanting the hard work done for them. If you're not willing to kill, they'll just take everything from you.

Economics can solve 90% of the problems we use the military for. And should.

Is that your way of endorsing sanctions or better trade relations or what?
