US delegation leaves Saudi Arabia early over kippah row
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I can assure you many women drive in Saudi Arabia, the Bedouin women in particular. Its not at all income to see women in Jeddah (which is in Mecca Province) their faves and hair un covered. Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia? -

At odds with my experience of a priest visiting our camp to hold service and to on one occasion give the last rights to a dying South African. Certainly at odds with the Christmas tree and decorations put up in our mixed Saudi Expat office. -

No, but my experience of living and working in Saudi Arabia and other places across the Middle East persuade me of the fallacy in the statement I experienced very little ‘intolerance’ in Saudi Arabia, indeed I see far more expressed on this forum than ever I came across anywhere in the Middle East. Arabs are famously hospitable, the Saudis especially so. Perhaps it’s that ‘face to face’ thing. -

There are Jews and definitely a Rabbi in Saudi Arabia. -
I did read the whole article hence my comment. The Guardian article is a broader view and was not subject to the CPS checks to ensure it met the COS requirements wrt what the COS wishes to be said about the COS on the COS website. It goes under the heading ‘journalism’, not ‘public image management’.

I read the OP. I read your post too. Lived and worked in Saudi, got the T-shirt. -
I didn’t cherry pick, I summarized a single post you made. Here it is, ‘good faith’ sections underlined: with us or against us right there. Ad hominem right there. You yourself set a lit us test, refer ‘any Jew willing to… ‘above. You mis represent the marches, refer the Tim Adam’s’ article I linked, his first hand experience and the experiences of the maned Jews he quotes. Oh but you don’t accept that because Tim Adams and the named Jews he quotes fail your ‘litmus test’.

The ‘with us our against us’ ‘litmus test’ so beloved of zealots of all persuasions. Calling Tim Adam’s a ‘useful idiot’ while reverting to hyperbole and character assassination. If you had any kind of well structured, fact based argument you wouldn’t need to resort to personal insults. “You proved my point but you're too dim to get it.” You don’t have a point, you simply throw mud at those who disagree with you.

Not an ounce of self reflection. -
The view you had on the day was selected for you by the editor running the camera crews, s/he decided which camera would be streamed and when. Also missing from your already edited view of the events on the day, are the events l, discussions, and planning that lead up to the attack on the Capitol. You don’t need to rely on any documentaries to fill that gap in your view; you can go straight to the evidence and sworn testimonies submitted before open courts of law and the convictions handed down by juries.
