He's completely right. Take a look at this picture:
Looks like Gaza, right? Well, in some ways it is- the weapons used to do this were sold by the United States of America to a wealthy middle eastern power. But no, it's actually Yemen several years ago.
Where were the riots? Where was the increase in anti-Saudi American sentiment? Where were the mass protests on college campuses?
Where were these students back then?
I fully expect to be crucified for this take, but I've never gotten a good response for this.
There were mild protests and Biden backed down and now look at the issue we have in the Red Sea. Before we were getting paid to help end the Houthis.
I'm not denying that protests against the Saudis exist (Ilhan Omar, to her credit, has been pretty consistent about calling them out) , I'm simply stating that Saudi Arabia has done the same bullsh**t Israel has done (also funded by the United States of America) and there weren't any mass f@cking protests.
