What part of Islamic terrorism is lost on Saudi Arabia?

It seems incredible that Saudi Arabia would still be pushing for a two-state solution after being on the receiving end of deadly missile and drone attacks perpetrated on them, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. 

From February 28 until mid-April, the Saudis were targeted by Iran, who fired around “560 ballistic and cruise missiles and more than 2,250 drones at the UAE during the war.”

Calling it Iranian retaliation for these countries who hosted U.S. military bases, they were infuriated when it resulted in the death of the Ayatollah, a fanatical cleric, determined to have world dominance.  

And the power truly would have been theirs, courtesy of the nuclear weapons they hoped to soon possess, had it not been for the combined actions of Israel and the U.S. in their coordinated effort to stop them.

Given this familiar prototype of radical Islam and its lust for control, why would it not raise a red flag for the Saudis, who are still bent on promoting a two-state solution, their condition for normalization with Israel. 

Unlike the smothering rule of Hamas, which recruited young Gazan boys to be martyred for Allah or the mullah-controlled Iranian regime that executed women who accidentally showed a strand of hair from their hijab, Saudi Arabia, has, in recent years, gone a completely different route. 

Undertaking sweeping reforms to modernize their kingdom and provide more freedom for women, there is a greater sense of liberty rather than the predictable tight grip that would be held by rulers of a Palestinian state on Israel’s border. 

Now, under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, women can drive, travel abroad without a guardian, have custody of minor children, have financial independence, seek employment and are not obligated to wear a burqa or head covering. 

While human rights groups report that some restrictions still remain, citing the many challenges that must be confronted, it’s, nevertheless, a far cry from those oppressive Islamic leaders who not only are obsessed with wiping Israel off the map but also with making the lives of their own people an unending nightmare.

Consequently, it’s fair to say that neither Hamas nor the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who now runs the country, would be compatible with the Saudi ruler who realizes that strangling his citizens, is the wrong approach.

That’s why it remains a mystery as to why he would consider a Palestinian state, alongside of Israel, as a good and positive development, knowing that, one way or another, Hamas will find a way to be involved as they continue their quest to wage war against us, with the goal of conquering our homeland.

Once Operation Roaring Lion got off the ground, the UAE, in an attempt to defend themselves, turned to Israel in order to secure the world’s most sophisticated interception defense system to guard their assets.  

After a phone call between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the UAE president Mohammed bin Zayed, not only was the Iron Dome system sent to them, but” dozens of IDF troops” were also dispatched to train them in its use.

So, what is it that’s preventing Saudi Arabia from being clear-eyed about these enemies of human rights and freedoms, as he fails to recognize the threat they pose to everyone who refuses to live in subservience?  

Is it the false belief that they will be able to moderate them, since Islam is also the dominant religion of Saudis? Haven’t they figured out that if that was the case, they could have already succeeded in avoiding attack?  

They, of all people, know that Iran, as well as Hamas, represent an extreme wing within Islam which will not rest until every Jew is either under their control or killed, the latter being their preferred option.  

Perhaps, they think that maintaining their demand of two-states will buy them acceptance and placate the Islamic hardliners who insist that there is no other solution.  

Closer to the real truth might be their fear that, without a Palestinian state, they will have to take in these people whom no one else seems to want – not even Jordan, whose majority population is comprised of Palestinians, including King Abdullah’s wife, Rania.

It’s why Palestinians are always foisted upon Israel – because no one else wants to give them a home – even knowing that Gaza is uninhabitable at the moment. The lack of regard for them, by fellow Arabs and fellow Muslims already speaks volumes as to the fear of the kind of extremism they might add to an otherwise moderate Muslim country, endeavoring to emerge from a darker past which suppressed advancement of every type.

But this is no time to be blinded, either unwittingly or purposefully, because failure to recognize and acknowledge the type of society that emerges from radical Islam, is a danger that must be confronted before it’s too late.

To reward a people with their own country, right next door, while they are still convinced that Israel must be obliterated, is to invite Armageddon to the region and to be complicit in helping to further the demise of the Jewish state, because these rogue initiators of terror will not lay down their swords for plowshares.

A two-state solution is antithetical to a peaceful Middle East, and anyone who has been paying attention to the events, over the last couple of years, should know that. If there was ever any doubt as to the lack of goodness or reliability of Hamas, there isn’t anymore.  Their cover has been blown, and no one, other than their useful idiots, believes that they are worth defending.

A Palestinian state alongside of Israel will only bring strife, constant friction and a permanent fear that war can break out any moment. That is because their children will continue to be educated to hate Jews and look upon Israel as the enemy that needs to be destroyed.

Saudi Arabia surely knows all of this, so they should, at least, be honest and try to make a logical case as to why they continue to hold on to a losing strategy which can never bring peace. They’re simply barking up the wrong tree by clinging to a plan that can only usher in an inevitable catastrophe.

Because, after October 7, you’d have to be barking mad to continue to suggest that a two-state solution is a sane choice!
