Saudi Arabia blames "Zionists" for deadly attack
Edited on Sun May-02-04 07:37 AM by drdon326

"Zionism is behind terrorist actions in the kingdom," the Saudi Press Agency quoted Crown Prince Abdullah as telling a gathering of princes in Jiddah.

Zionism had misled "some of our sons," he said without elaborating.

Abdullah was speaking a day after four gunmen opened fire at an oil contractor's office in the industrial city of Yanbu, killing at least seven people - two Americans, two Britons, two Australians and a Saudi - and wounding 25 before leading police on a bloody chase, dragging the body of one victim behind their car.

Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah said "Zionists' hands" were behind Saturday's attacks.

"Saudi Arabia is being targeted by Zionists...we are 95 percent sure that Zionists' hands were behind what happened," he said.

..............................................................

And here I thought Jews WEREN'T allowed in Saudi Arabia.

And this should not be confused with anti-semitism.....no,no,no....

more mind-numbing psychosis from the Clown Prince

1. Zionists
can be of any nationality. There are about 50 million "Christian Zionists" here in the southern United States, almost all of whom have an unquestioning approval of anything the neocon administration proposes.

8. It's code for "Jews run the world and do all bad things."
Nice try, though.

13. Zionists
are those who support Israel. This is an accepted definition going back many years.

I was not aware I was making a "nice try" to mask something in code. What I said is still a fact. There are 50 million Christian Zionists who more or less unanimously back the * administration. It's the only reason he has even a ghost of a chance for a second term.

14. Unfortunately, Mr. Patman
Edited on Sun May-02-04 12:33 PM by The Magistrate
The Saudi leader is not making any attempt at technical precision in these remarks; he is certainly not suggesting that these shootings may have been carried out by, say, followers of Pat Robertson. He is claiming that these killings were carried out by the Israeli secret services, directing subborned Arabs, and not instigated by the Wahhabi radicals who actually did plan, and carry them out. He is resurrecting an old claim that there are no murderous acts planned and committed by fundamentalist radicals of Islam, whether in New York or Saudi Arabia or even Tel Aviv, but only murderous acts contrived by Jews to make Arabs and Islam look bad. These statements are reprehensible lies, and the product of a self-serving bigotry that cannot be too strongly denounced.

15. No, supporters of Israel are supporters of Israel...
Edited on Sun May-02-04 02:26 PM by Darranar
Zionists are those who support the political movement of Zionism, calling for a Jewish state in Palestine.

5. Indeed, I think you have it.
What good are enemies if you can't blame things on them?

3. I think I understand
Israel exists, Zionism exists, because they exist and hatred toward Jews is a state sanctioned ideology, some sons were mislead by the existence of Zionism to kill.

6. What's this? The Saudi version of WMD's?
This keeps up, and Bush/Cheney will invade SA too. Far too much oil there to have it fall into "anti-democratic" hands, right boys?

7. No, if Crown Prince Abdullah
said this, there might as well be a tagline with * saying, "I'm George W. Bush and I approved this message."

Saudi royals and * are joined at the hip. Prince Bandar is also known as "Bandar Bush" since he hangs out with them as if he is one of their brothers.

16. In Other News
Edited on Sun May-02-04 06:51 PM by Proudlib
Zionists were behind Kyle Farnsworth walking in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th against the Cardinals.

They also caused Bobby Labonte to run out of gas with one lap to go in the 500 mile NASCAR race today.

And finally, they caused Mary Kate, but not Ashley Olsen to get a zit on her cheek.

See, those evil Zionists are behind everything. Just ask the Crown Prince. The logic is just as tight.
