MBS's Conditions for a Saudi-Israel Normalization

Mohammad Bin Salman is playing a masterful game with the Americans and their Israeli colonial poodles. 

Yes, he says, let's talk about normalization with Israel, but what about Palestine? 

Yes, I want the United States to give me ironclad security guarantees, but what about Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem?  

Yes, let's open our airspace to Israeli airlines, but let me send an ambassador to Palestine. 

Yes, we shall open talks with Iran, China and Russia, in spite of Israel and the United States. The Israeli-American duo has a lot to gain from Saudi Arabia, but from now on, there will be a price. And that price is Palestine.

Let's look at the modalities of opening trade between Israel and other Arab countries, but can the barbarians who rule Israel today change their tune about finishing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by evicting the remaining millions of Palestinians from what remains of historic Palestine?

The response to all the overtures made by Saudi Arabia and its disposition vis-a-vis a normalization has been the standard stale, racist, take-you-for-granted, by the spoiled brat Israel that hides its shameful history and behavior behind America's power. 

No to another Oslo and Madrid where the Palestinians were scammed in the 1990s into accepting the little Bantustans in the West Bank and Gaza.

Bantustan, also known as Bantu homeland or Black state, is any of 10 former territories that were designated by the racist white apartheid government of South Africa as pseudo-national homelands for the country's Black African Bantu population during the mid- to late 20th century.

Just like Apartheid South Africa, the barbarian Apartheid Israelis, have offered the Palestinians a similar atomization of Palestine into little Palestinian islands surrounded by the Fascist Israeli army with its walls of separation, its daily humiliation of the Palestinian people, its collective punishments with home demolitions and unlawful preemeptive incarceration of Palestinians because they might one day become terrorists. 

Edward Saiid was one of the few Palestinian-American intellectuals who saw the trap set by the Americans and the Israelis in Oslo and Madrid. In retrospect, he was right. Israel does not want any Palestine, period. But its insidious greed wants to open trade with Arab countries because it would suffocate in its isolation without American military and financial aid.

But MBS of Saudi Arabia is putting conditions, serious ones: Either a full-fledged independent Palestine with East Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa at the heart of its capital and without any "supervision" by the Israeli murderous colonizers. 

And the answer to his conditions came today:  Israel will not allow Saudi Arabia to open a Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem. Why? It would mean that Saudi Arabia's diplomacy would be recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

The credentials of the new Saudi ambassador to Palestine, Mr. Nayef al-Sudairi, were presented to the Palestinian Authority at a ceremony in Jordan. The Israeli foreign ministry was ignored.

The non-resident envoy, who is the ambassador to Jordan and a cousin of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will also become the non-resident Jerusalem consul general. The use of Jerusalem in his title is a direct nod to Saudi Arabia’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

Eli Cohen, Israel’s foreign minister, said on Sunday morning that he would “not allow” the new Saudi Arabian ambassador to Palestine to open a consulate in Jerusalem.

Saudi Arabia has long been a key supporter of Palestine and its desire for statehood. The appointment of an ambassador is widely being viewed among analysts as a way to show that they will not bow to Israeli concessions over Palestinians as part of a potential normalisation deal that the US has long been trying to broker.

“Saudi Arabia will not take formal steps towards normalisation with Israel that would undermine Saudi Arabia’s own declared commitment to the issue of Palestine,” said Lina Khatib, director of the SOAS Middle East Institute. “The appointment of a Saudi ambassador to Palestine is a signal that this commitment continues.”

While a complex Saudi-Israel normalisation deal still appears to be far off – particularly on the back of Saudi’s recent rehabilitation of Iran – some analysts have speculated that the ambassador’s appointment could be a way of laying out early their own demands for any future deal.

In negotiations with the US, the Saudis are asking for significant concessions from Israel toward the creation of a Palestinian state. But senior members of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s racist ultra-religious coalition are expected to draw the line at any concessions toward Palestinians. At least, we now know their real intentions: To steal what remains of Palestine in the most unlawful and barbaric way, in plain sight of the world, and more importantly in plain sight of the Europeans who perpetrated the Holocaust. 

Remember: It wasn't the Palestinians who murdered 6 million Jews by frying them in the ovens. The killers were all Europeans: Germans, French, British, Polish, Danes, Dutch.... every European country was a Nazi collaborator at one point or another before the war - even the United States had an official Nazi Party that held rallies like those of Hitler in Germany - and during the war. It is only when it was no longer to their advantage to be Nazis that Western governments pretended to become "resistance fighters". Even today, European Nazism is alive and well, turning back refugees who are of "inferior races", herding them on barges (the UK), closing borders with separation walls and barbed wires....
