Arabia
Saudis To Palestinians: Stop Being Losers And Cut A Deal
[HOTAIR] Videos of Al Arabiya interview of Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz at the link.

#1  Nice update at the end

One more thought about this lengthy interview on Saudi state television — who’s the audience? It’s not the Israelis, and it’s not even really the Palestinians. The royal family is informing the Saudi populace about the long history of Palestinian deception and betrayals to prepare their subjects for something. Will the Saudis normalize relations with Israel in the next couple of weeks? If I were in Palestinian leadership, I’d be afraid … very afraid at what’s coming next.

#2  Palestinian_refugees] https://en.wikipedia.org An estimated 240,000 Palestinians are living in Saudi Arabia. They are not allowed to hold or even apply for Saudi citizenship, because of Arab League instructions barring the Arab states from granting them citizenship; the only other alternative for them is to marry a Saudi national.

#1  Two presidents have been overthrown in Kyrgyzstan in the past 15 years. What exactly did the president say? "The main goal of the protesters was not to annul the election results but to remove me from power," President Jeenbekov told BBC Kyrgyz in an exclusive phone interview from a secret hideaway.

Cyber
YouTube removes Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam channel
[Jpost] YouTube said it removed the channel on Oct. 2, citing its policies against hate speech.

Some individual accounts of Nation of Islam members are still up, with tens of thousands of followers.

Louis Farrakhan is a longtime, vehement antisemite who has railed against "wicked Jews," praised Adolf Hitler
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like...
, condemned the "synagogue of Satan," likened Jews to termites and accused them of controlling the U.S. government. He also has a history of homophobia. This past summer, a string of celebrities defended or praised Farrakhan and echoed his anti-Semitic rhetoric.

A July 4 speech in which Farrakhan called Jews the "enemy of God" has been viewed more than a million times, according to the Anti-Defamation League. That month the ADL called Farrakhan the "most popular antisemite in America."

YouTube has also removed white supremacists from its platform this year, including Richard Spencer and David Duke.

#1  A weight room I used to frequent had one of his acolytes in near residence and from what I can gather, the brother minister doesn't like anybody, really.

I can only warn, Beverages Down.
The acolyte one day got into a foaming rage while explaning the reason, as he put it, 'that Obama was going to put missiles in Cuba', was 'cause it was closer to Iran'.

Is it wrong to long for the halcyon days of coherent adversaries?

#3  Louie must have said something about coronavirus or masks. Surely it wasn't his brand of hate speech that got him booted.

#4  Is it wrong to long for the halcyon days of coherent adversaries?

Wrong? No. Futile? Yes.

International-UN-NGOs
Palestinian officials aim to pressure EU to reverse NGO funding ban
[Jpost] Senior Paleostinian leaders held a summit on September 30, to discuss ways to bypass or reverse EU rules banning funds being paid out to NGOs with terror ties.

Paleostinian Foreign Ministry officials have convened with representatives of Paleostinian factions, civilian organizations, and prisoners organizations to discuss ways to remove terror organizations from the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
's lists of restrictive measures. The listing is significant as the EU cannot pay out funds to NGOs who have ties to the terror groups on the lists, or who refuse to sign.

Iraq
Iraq government forms committee to investigate 'national violations'
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al Kadhimi has ordered the formation of a committee to investigate violations of "national security" following a series of rocket attacks on the capital.

American diplomats and troops across Iraq have been targeted in dozens of missile attacks blamed by Washington on pro-Iranian armed factions in recent months.

"The prime minister chaired the first meeting of a committee to investigate violations that targeted the security and prestige of Iraq," said a statement by his office.

Several rockets landed in a residential area near Baghdad's Green Zone overnight but did not explode early Monday raising concerns about the safety of Iraqi civilians.
