Well the Houthi movement's official slogan is "God is Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam". Can't be a coincident?

I wonder what happens to a Jew who sneaks to SA. Pretending Saudis are better is nuts.

  Not to burst your bubble or anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P24WZp0gVRg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P24WZp0gVRg If you want to have your (valid) criticisms taken seriously, it's best to keep up to date with what's going on on the ground.

    What point did you try to make with that video?

      > "what happens to a Jew who sneaks to SA" If they came through legally, they'll be just fine. Maybe not before a few years ago (valid criticism). If they snuck in then that may be a different story - then you can go into how the Kingdom treats and abuses illegal migrants and expatriates (more room for valid criticisms) Drew Binsky is of Jewish background and he is welcomed, which is counter to your insinuation that.... he would be beheaded on the spot (???) Even pre-reform not much would've happened to him on the ground by the people. It is true however, that generally Jewish people were not allowed into the country. Of course there were exceptions back then also. I think your sentiment is on the right side, you just need to make sure you keep up to date with what's happening so as to not invalidate your own position/talking point

    Okay. What if a gay person snuck in? SA is a country ruled by an evil group of people who have so good political connection that the US invaded Afghanistan instead as a revenge for 9/11.

      What's with all the hypothetical sneaking? I actively encourage you to participate in BDS of the states you have an issue with, as I do myself. I think you should read more in the history of this relationship and compel your representatives to stop this policy of arming dictatorships just so your uncle in the mid-west can keep his job of machining parts for tanks and missiles. There is chaos in the M.E and it is fueled by your weak politicians putting jobs (among other things) over peace.

Those sentiments didn’t arise in a vacuum.

  Would you excuse Hitler with the same sentence? You can switch islam with white supremacy, it's a similar supremacist ideology in search of a boogeyman. Protocol of Zion is still cited as a legitimate source in the middle east.

    And yet nobody's invading US to get rid of white supremacists.

  Indeed, they didn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone "Operation Cyclone was one of the longest and most expensive covert CIA operations ever undertaken.[2] Funding [..] rose to $630 million per year in 1987,[1][4][5] described as the "biggest bequest to any Third World insurgency". What happened next was a logical consequence.

And I am sure comitting daily acts that would amount to genocide if they weren't random will help that.
