Speaking on Russia Today on March 26, Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal said that Iran—and not U.S. President Donald Trump—was “causing trouble in the region,” and that it was Russia’s responsibility to “highlight the atrocious acts that the Iranian government perpetrates against its own people.”

Prince Al-Faisal, the former Chief of Saudi Intelligence and Ambassador to the United Kingdom, pointed to Iranian intervention in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere.

He added that documents found in the compound of Osama bin Laden showed that he had been in touch with Iran.

“This is yet another chilling reminder that antisemitism does not belong to the past; it is happening here and now, in the heart of New York.”
Senior government official claims Israel was hours away from a massive operation that was stopped at the last minute last week. Also, Netanyahu’s successor, who still does not know he is one.
“I’m seeing what’s going on in New York,” Stav Cohen, founder of the Israeli nonprofit Frontline Advocates, told JNS. “I fear for my speakers’ lives.”
“If you’re going to do that kind of act in that area, at that time, you’re more than likely, if you’re going to kill somebody, to kill a Jew,” Michael Trager told the Daily Wire.
