Officials posing for pictures in international conferences should by all means be a normal and typical activity. However, when Tzipi Livni, former foreign minister of the Zionist Entity posts a photo of her meeting with the former director of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency Prince Turki al-Faisal in Davos, Switzerland to her twitter account, it is not normal nor typical. Despite the fact that it’s not the first meeting that fused both officials, it still cannot be deemed normal or typical.
It is no longer a secret that Israel and Saudi Arabia have been burying the hatchet behind closed doors for decades now while dancing on the graves of the people of Palestine. However, elevating relations under the watchful eye of the entire world is another thing.
See Wahhabism and Zionism are bedfellows. These two ideologies may seem like unrelated entities on the surface of it, however these two ideologies are in fact conjointly responsible for much if not all of the situation in the Middle East today; a situation that doesn’t just effect the Middle East, but as we’ve seen since 2011, it has affected the US and Europe while pushing Eurasian forces to unite in the face of the shock waves this conjoint force has discharged. These two ideologies are responsible for almost a century of violence, wars, suffering, occupation and manipulation. These two ideologies are in fact two faces of the same coin. Most importantly, these two ideologies can both be traced back to the same approximate era which is roughly 100 years ago, during the events of the First World War.
Rumors about the up-and-coming relationship have been circulating for the past few years. In 2015, former Saudi and Israeli officials confirmed that they’d held a series of high-level meetings to discuss “shared concerns”, such as the growing influence of Iran in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon, as well as Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. Shimon Shapira, an Israeli representative who participated in secret meetings with the Saudis, put it this way: “We discovered we have the same problems and same challenges and some of the same answers.”
Marketed as a “path breaking public dialogue between senior national security leaders from two old adversaries,” May 5, 2016 featured a high-profile meeting in Washington DC between officials from Saudi Arabia and Israel. Prince Turki bin Faisal, Saudi Arabia's former intelligence chief and one-time ambassador to Washington, and retired Israeli Major General Yaakov Amidror, former national security advisor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke together at a Washington event hosted by The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the policy wing of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC. The event, broadcast live online, showed that Saudi Arabia and Israel have finally come out of the closet together.
The 2015 meeting followed an earlier one between the Israeli entity’s so-called Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in Germany on February 2, 2014. Turki and Livni reportedly discussed a Saudi peace initiative introduced in 2002 under the auspices of the Arab League entailing full normalization between the Israeli entity and the surrounding Arab countries in exchange for a withdrawal to the 1967 lines.
However, several reports state that there was a dowry involved before the relationship became public. Accordingly, Saudi Arabia tried to build a lobby in Washington, only to experience bitterly that the masses of law firms and PR specialists costing top dollar or even the exploitation of connections with some powerful families can never overtake the Israel Lobby in the US. Therefore, the Saudis decided to take a different approach: they bought the Israelis, writes US journalist Robert Parry. According to the article, Saudi Arabia has given Israel around $16 billion between 2012 and 2015, funneling the money through other Arab states and Israeli development funds all at the cost of further Palestinian suffering.
The match made in hell was first publicized on Oct. 1, 2013, by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself who hinted at the new Israeli-Saudi relationship in his United Nations General Assembly speech, which was largely devoted to criticizing Iran over its nuclear program and threatening a unilateral Israeli military strike. Netanyahu dropped in a largely missed clue about the evolving power relationships in the Middle East, saying: “The dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran and the emergence of other threats in our region have led many of our Arab neighbors to recognize, finally recognize, that Israel is not their enemy. And this affords us the opportunity to overcome the historic animosities and build new relationships, new friendships, new hopes.” The very next day, Israel’s Channel 2 TV news reported that senior Israeli security officials had met with a high-level Gulf state counterpart in Al Quds, believed to be Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who was then head of Saudi intelligence.
Then again on Friday January 22, 2016 in Davos, Netanyahu told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos that “Saudi Arabia recognizes that Israel is an ally rather than an enemy because of the two principal threats that threaten them, Iran and Daesh [ISIS],". Yes Daesh! Netanyahu just dropped the fact that the ideology of Daesh itself is rooted in Wahhabism which is widely promoted by Saudi clerics and tolerated by the kingdom's rulers. But obviously he dropped it on purpose because both Saudi Arabia and the Israeli entity support Takfiri terrorist groups fighting in Syria against the secular Syrian army. Meanwhile, there is no known case of a Daesh attack on either Saudi or Israeli targets. Well no surprise there since both countries are exporters rather than importers. Both countries export “products” that promote violence. Israel is a major exporter of weapons, and Israeli forces often train police in other countries in repressive techniques. Some Israeli made weapons were even found in Syrian areas reportedly given to armed mercenaries fighting against the Syrian Arab Army. While the Saudis export the extremist ideology of Wahhabism all over the globe propagating death and destruction.
Zionism and Wahhabism have both demonstrably been divisive, destructive forces in the region (and beyond). Zionism has led to the unending plight and humiliation of the Palestinian people. While Wahhabism has inspired an immeasurable amount of extremism, terrorist ideologies, indoctrination and the toxic polarization of societies.
The Wahhabi and Zionist bluff has so far taken the lives of millions of Muslims, Christians and Jews. Only in the recent years, Wahhabism has been greatly exposed in the Muslim world mainly because of its own odious crimes against humanity. Most of the Muslims, who were badly confused by this Saudi version of staunch ideology, are now becoming more aware of the true black face of the Saudi regime and are not the least buying the Israeli-Saudi scheming to allegedly promote “peace” in the region. This is happening as we witness the plunge of the flag war propagandas formulated by the Zionist entity (with the help of their US neocon friends) against Syria, the last remaining secular Arab state willing to stanchly face Zionism and Wahhabism together.
