Critic of US Embassy Move and #Yemen Famine (none / 1)

Erdogan: US Embassy makes Washington part of the problem | Ynet News Israel |
Some people accused Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and the custodian of its holiest places, of surrendering Palestinian rights for the sake of its alliance with Trump and his tough stand on Iran.
A Saudi foreign ministry statement criticized Israel's violence against protesters and affirmed its support for Palestinian rights but did not mention the embassy move.
Saudi newspapers and state media also largely ignored the US move, instead focusing on domestic topics such as preparations for women to be allowed to drive from next month.
"We look at our shattered world where we accuse each other of betrayal and of abandoning Palestine, while the truth is we have all abandoned it," tweeted Jamal Khashoggi, a former Saudi newspaper editor.
"We are against the embassy move because this is our country. They haven't left us with anything," said Zeinab, a woman in the Palestinian refugee camp of Burj al-Barajneh in Lebanon.
"As an Egyptian and an Arab, I feel humiliated," said Sami Badreddin, 40, a state company employee in Cairo, whose country made peace with Israel in 1978. "They transfer the US embassy to Jerusalem while all the Arabs are silent."
"Trump hates Muslims and he is showing it every day," said Salim Hamlaoui, a student at Algiers University.

I was surprised by the silence of brothers and friends of what is happening in Yemen of the collapse of the national currency and the collapse of the national economy and the silence is not applied and I did not hear one statement talking about the #FamineYemen #SaveYemen_from the famine.
