On the heels of the Saudis absurdly co-hosting a UN event aimed at revamping the Israeli-Palestinian “peace process” without Israel even being present comes this telling news. In Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information, Israel is erased from the map.
I stated this in the previous Jihad Watch report and it still remains apparent:
Saudi Arabia so far has not shown good will toward Israel with respect to the Palestinians, or even a shred of impartiality. The Saudi-UN event appears to be little more than a show to pretend that Israel and the Palestinians are equally to blame for the conflict, and just more anti-Israel advocacy.
“Israel is still ‘Palestine’ on Saudi Arabia’s new map despite peace talks,” Jerusalem Post, September 15, 2023:
Despite recent US-brokered normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia, the entirety of the Jewish State is still referred to as ‘Palestine’ in an update of the Saudis’ official map of the country and its borders published earlier this week.
Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information released the map, which they implored to be exclusively used by media in the kingdom.
It described the map as one with “reliable national reference for general purpose applications, and is intended to be used for strategic planning, feature location and identification.”
Despite increased reports of a looming deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel, the kingdom has let the Biden administration know that resolving Palestinian issues is critical for any normalization deal with Israel, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday.
“It is also clear from what we hear from the Saudis that if this process is to move forward, the Palestinian piece is going to be very important too,” he said on Wednesday in an interview with the podcast Pod Save the World.
“In our judgment that needs to involve a two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he explained……

All the hopes that I had for Saudi Arabia after Trump’s 2017 Riyadh summit are now dead. I do think that the next administration should legally pursue Saudi Arabia for damages due to 9/11, and stop regarding them as an ally in the Middle East. Especially once we become energy dominant again
Like I said a few days ago, the Saudis are no longer even of strategic importance to us. They no longer back the 💵 as the world’s reserve currency, which is totally gone, and nor are they keeping oil prices low for us (which made sense before the fracking revolution, but now just reflects the idiocy of the US government). Plus they have signed an agreement w/ Iran under the guidance of Beijing. So we need to stop pretending that that region is strategically important!

Sorry to break it to you but Israel is a part of Palestine

When did that happen that Israel became part of Palestine?

Saudi Arabia obviously learned this ploy from China.
If you look at any modern world map produced by China, the entire nation of Tibet has been removed and is now called Xizang Autonomous region by the Chines communist party.
The Chines, the Saudi’s and the Jihadi’s all seem to think that if they say so, then the rest of the world must bow down before them and kiss their feet. I guess their attitude comes from dealing with Obama then Dementia Joe, so now they think we will all do what they demand.

Palestinians demands include
Transferring parts of the West Bank currently under full Israeli control (known as Area C under the 1990s Oslo peace accords) to the governance of the Palestinian Authority
A “complete cessation” of Israeli settlement growth in the West Bank
Resuming Saudi financial support to the PA, which slowed from 2016 and stopped completely three years ago, to the tune of around $200m (£160m) per year
Re-opening the US consulate in Jerusalem – the diplomatic mission to the Palestinians – that was shut down by President Donald Trump
Resuming US-brokered negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians from where they stopped under then-Secretary of State John Kerry in 2014.
If these are the demands they have made then this Israel – saudi peace deal is a joke and Israel should never accept any of these demands. Also I don’t think it is important for Israel to normalise ties with saudi Arabia and the rest of the Islamic world.

We can not just trust any muslim, they are always ready to backstab the non muslims whenever they have a chance. It is the basic teaching of Islam.

Saudi Arabia is a contemporary joke. It is not a country; it is merely a figment of some humourous diplomat’s imagination. It was thought of 100 odd years ago by the British and the French in order to keep it out of German hands. Then the French and British discovered oil and the Americans got in on the act. A few Saudis became unbelievably wealthy while the rest were given money to do nothing. Those who do the work are foreign workers or ‘slaves’. Slavery was only outlawed in the Kingdom in 1962. Most Saudis think it still exists. The Saudis have an inflated sense of their own importance. If America were ruled by anyone but an idiot they would have taken over Saudi Arabia – after all the Saudis don’t have an army; they always pay the Americans to do their fighting. If the Americans had allowed the British and French to put a base in Egypt in 1967 the middle-east would not be the mess it is today. But the Saudi ‘power’ will not last. They can see the end of oil power. They are trying to dyfersify their industry. To what? Nobody needs sand. Who is going to do the work? Are they going to re-introduce slavery?

Saudi Arabia is pushing forward to invade Ghana in the subregion of west Africa through the Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia in the country’s forth coming elections in 2024.
Saudi Arabia is a dark country in our global world, it’s my ardent prayer that the mighty hands of the Almighty God should be raised against her and her evil allies

Saudi Arabia is a two headed snake, it will pretend to be friendly as long as it’s a benefit to Saudi Arabia and will strike you when it’s not. You can’t trust an Islamic State PERIOD.
