    Can’t agree there, the government of Israel has gotten along really well with the government of Saudi Arabia for example. If you murder journalists and protesters and otherwise repress dissent they will try to work with you.

      Please don’t conflate the elite Saudis with the rest of the Arabic speaking world. When money and power are concerned, the Israeli government will placate. When it comes to average arab people, they will persecute and subjugate.

        The kleptocratic ruling classes of many Arab countries have happily aligned with Israel, openly or covertly, in opposing legitimate Arab democracy. And that’s not limited to the Saudis and the Gulfies. Look at Sisi and at the king of Morocco for two other prominent examples.

          And this means that Zionists will treat ordinary Arabic people with respect, dignity and humanity - or are you still conflating the goddamn elites with ordinary Arabic people again?

          Like seriously, Arabic people are second class citizens in Israel - and we’re not even talking about the beta Israelites.

          I’m sure the Epstein class Arabs are well taken care of when approached by Israeli elites, this has already been established by the previous commenter - but it’s still not an argument against what I said.

          Read what I actually said please.
