RIYADH: Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said on Tuesday that Riyadh’s position on Syria had not changed, insisting that President Bashar Assad had no future in Syria.
“There is no change ... From the beginning of the crisis, the position of the Kingdom is that Bashar is the problem in Syria. He killed hundreds of thousands of his people, displaced millions and destroyed the country as a whole. He has no future in Syria.”
Speaking at a joint news conference with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Al-Jubeir also said that it was up to Yemen’s Iranian-allied Houthi group and former Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh to bring an end to the war in that country.

Neither does Israel.
Have you all noticed that the anti-Semite losers always have to drag in Israel? This article is something about what a Saudi Official is saying, and has nothing to do with Israel. Say, how many Andy Gumps hae you cleaned out at the construction site today, you old barfly..
it a pattern of hate.............blame the jews
Aris, I honestly don't believe the haters even care for any Arabs but just use them as pawns in their fight against the Jews. Several years ago I happened to be reading the Bronx Board, and one Irish Catholic poster said that the nuns in parochial school told them the Jews and Protestant6s were bad and to have nothing to do with them, to not even go into their business establishments. The poster went on to say that now that he is older, he realizes the nuns were wrong. Evidently Billy Boy, who has claimed to be Irish Catholic who has had a parochial school education, never came to that conclusion because underneath it all, he is not a very smart individual.
I used to hear the Irish Catholic kids coming home from Blessed Sacrament Parochial School singing "Monday we go to school, Tuesday we beat up the Jews.".

Sadly there is an attitude that lower class arabs are just fodder, pawns to be scarified. It is not who they are but numbers that attract the press and create a given image. They might not be slaves, but there is still the attitude of expendability.
The usual death rate has diminished with modern medicine and the extra people that do not have a duty in service of the heads are just more mouths to feed and consume precious water without giving back. It is unfortunately an attitude that the whole world might have to acquire before then end of the millennium if anyone is to survive. Muslims have the promise that their death will bring them riches in heaven.
In war it is a game of numbers.
How many centuries was Jerusalem forgotten and in ruins? Now pilgrimages are not long arduous trips and holy days draw millions in Saudi or Iran. If you think about it, there are more Muslims today than people on the earth in Mohammed's time.
For any muslims the kafir are not honored and protected people but stumbling blocks in the purity of the faith. It is nt the same but there are similarities between many muslims and the hindu caste system. You have a place you are born into and you are supposed to stay there. You are such a clan, such a tribe, such a family that everyone knows where you are in the pecking order. Old attitudes don't change so easily when there are thousands of years behind them.
East and west really are very different and the west cannot expect their "more democratic" thinking to apply to the rest of the world. Thinks may be changing but in some aspects they change very very slowly over generations, even centuries.
Most Americans seem irreverent to traditions, but for the rest of the world, that is their law and order. It might seem irrational to us but it is everything to them.
Much like manners and protocol, the smallest details speak volumes. A breach and it can mean loosing face or even death. For americans the world began 3-400 yrs ago. For muslims it began 1600 yrs ago. For Catholics 2000 yrs ago. Then each of the sub groups have their own histories and origins. Traditions remain long after the reasons for them have been lost, but without them their understanding of the world and life unravels and they become lost, angry, desperate and dangerous. When their reality is replaced they no longer know where they belong or what to do. We understand reason and science, but for them theirs is their history and traditions, and their faith. Reason and science are further down down and far less significant.
It rather hard to explain, but so were our superstitions way back when. Without reason we still avoid stepping in cracks and toss salt over our shoulder, just because that is what everyone has always done. People of the east have traditions that go back to the beginning of time. This is the way things have always been done. It is their anchor.
Life as we think about it is very different to them............because that is the way it has always been.
