Saudi Arabia, Israel using Al Qaeda terrorists to destabilise Middle East

Saudi Arabia, Israel destabilizing Middle East
23 November, 2013 – PressTV

The strategic position of the Middle East and the existence of vast energy reserves in the region have always been the main reasons of instability.

Over the past century, most of world’s economic powers have tried to infiltrate the region in order to expand their dominion over the Middle East. In the first step, they divided the Ottoman Empire and next established other countries by fueling ethnic and tribal conflicts and supporting one tribe against the other.

The foundation of most of these countries is based on totalitarian systems that cater to the ruling class and their Western supporters instead of the people’s interests. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, which has strong ties to the US and the West, was recognized as the formal supporter of Wahhabism in the region.

In the second step the West planted the seed of sedition in the region by establishing the Zionist regime at the heart of the Middle East so that the people of the region could never know peace.

The Israeli regime waged war against Muslims and Arabs by occupying Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Palestine. Israel is the number one enemy and in other words the public enemy of all people in the region.

But the people of the region have another enemy that considers itself the leader of the Muslim and the Arab world, while it is the biggest foe of the region and on par with the Zionist regime.

The Wahhabi regime of Saudi Arabia has not spared any effort to fuel unrest in the Middle East and strives to achieve its biggest goal, paving the way for the presence of hegemonic powers in the region, through interfering in the affairs of other countries and promoting sectarianism.

Saudi Arabia’s role in fueling the crisis in the Middle East by fanning the flames of unrest in Syria is quite obvious; Riyadh has engulfed Syria in a major crisis by providing financial aid for Takfiris affiliated to al-Qaeda. The Zionist regime, a number of European countries and the US also provide financial and political support for these Takfiri groups.

Remarks made by Sheikh Abdullah Tamimi, a prayer leader from the Syrian city of Homs, reveal the depth of the bond between the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia against Syria. Tamimi said in an interview with Israel’s Channel 2 that the Syrian opposition has never had any enmity towards Israel, was in the same front as Israel and fights one enemy, i.e the Syrian government. He expressed his deep hatred towards Hezbollah and offers rewards for killing Hezbollah commanders.

Other efforts by Saudi Arabia to destabilize the region concern Iraq. Over the past few months, sectarian conflicts in Iraq have intensified for which the mercenaries affiliated to Saudi Arabia and al-Qaeda are to blame. In fact Saudi Arabia is trying to suppress popular uprising in the country through promoting sectarianism in Iraq. In other words, Saudi officials are trying to justify suppression of Shias in Qatif and other provinces by fueling sectarian conflict in Iraq and other countries.

Saudi Arabia’s public support for groups affiliated to al-Qaeda in Iraq, and former Iraqi deputy premier Tariq al-Hashimi’s escape to Saudi Arabia – who had formed death squads in Iraq – are among other attempts by Riyadh to spread instability and insecurity in the region. …more
