The government of Saudi Arabia is fundamentalist Islamic, repressive, brutal, treats women as chattel, and funds and foments terrorist groups. There is little difference between the Saudi government and the Iranian government, other than that Saudi Arabia is Sunni Islam and Iran is Shiite. Yet, Saudi Arabia is supposedly a US friend and ally, and Iran has been an enemy since the 1979 revolution. Is it any wonder that so many in the Middle East regard US policy as completely hypocritical? From Chris Ernesto, at antiwar.com:
In December 2011, the United States sold $30 billion worth of weapons to the monarchy of Saudi Arabia. Included in the sale were 84 F-15 fighter jets, which are now “at the core” of the Saudi war in Yemen.
This fact, and numerous others about the Kingdom have received scant attention from proponents of the Saudi attack on Yemen.
Here’s a look at five things about Saudi Arabia that US officials and the establishment media are neglecting to talk about as Saudi bombs continue to drop on the people of Yemen with the support of the United States:
1. Sharia Law runs the country.
2. Saudi Arabia is an authoritarian dictatorship: There are no national elections, no parties, and no rights.
3. People are publicly beheaded in the Kingdom.
4. Human rights for Saudi women are among the worst in the world.
5. The monarchy is a cash machine for terrorists.
