  • Audio: David Blair on the Saudi warning
  • The "lords of war" will decide Israel's future if it rejects a blueprint for peace crafted by the entire Arab world, Saudi Arabia's veteran foreign minister warned yesterday.

    As leaders began gathering in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for today's summit of the Arab League, Prince Saud al-Faisal told The Daily Telegraph that the Middle East risks perpetual conflict if the peace plan fails.

    Under this Saudi-drafted proposal, every Arab country would formally recognise Israel in return for a withdrawal from all the land captured in the war of 1967.

    This would entail a Palestinian state embracing the entire West Bank and Gaza with East Jerusalem as its capital. Every Arab country will almost certainly endorse this blueprint when the Riyadh summit concludes tomorrow. Prince Saud said Israel should accept or reject this final offer.

    "What we have the power to do in the Arab world, we think we have done," he said. "So now it is up to the other side because if you want peace, it is not enough for one side only to want it. Both sides must want it equally."

    Speaking inside his whitewashed palace, surrounded by luxuriant lawns and manicured flower beds resembling a green oasis in the drabness of Riyadh, Prince Saud delivered an unequivocal warning to Israel.

    "If Israel refuses, that means it doesn't want peace and it places everything back into the hands of fate. They will be putting their future not in the hands of the peacemakers but in the hands of the lords of war," he said.

    Prince Saud dismissed any further diplomatic overtures towards Israel. "It has never been proven that reaching out to Israel achieves anything," he said.

    "Other Arab countries have recognised Israel and what has that achieved?

    "The largest Arab country, Egypt, recognised Israel and what was the result? Not one iota of change happened in the attitude of Israel towards peace."

    Israel has numerous reservations about the Arab peace plan - which was previously proposed at a summit in 2002. Israel fears any hint that Palestinian refugees would have the right to return to their homes in the event of a peace settlement.

    Prince Saud is the 66-year-old son of the late King Faisal. Relieved of the need to seek re-election, he has held office for 32 years.

    Flush with oil money, Saudi Arabia is playing a more assertive role in Middle Eastern diplomacy. As well as securing the Arab peace plan, the Kingdom brokered the agreement between Hamas and Fatah - the two Palestinian factions - to form a unity government.

    But western diplomats in Riyadh believe this resurgence in Saudi diplomacy stems from more than the kingdom's oil boom.

    The menacing spectre of Iran, the rising Shia power with nuclear-tipped ambitions for regional dominance, looms large across the waters of the Gulf.

    Saudi Arabia is quietly moving to contain its bellicose neighbour. Prince Saud offered conciliatory words to Iran, laced with coded criticism. "We have no inhibitions about the role of Iran," he said. "It is a large country. It wants to play a leading role in the region, and it has every right to do so. It is an historic country. But if you want to reach for leadership, you have to make sure that those you are leading are having their interests taken care of and not damaged."

    Saudi Arabia has privately urged Iran to stop enriching uranium, in compliance with United Nations resolutions and lay to rest any suggestion that it is seeking nuclear weapons. Prince Saud called for a "Middle East free of nuclear weapons" with "no exceptions for anybody, be it Israel or Iran".

    Asked whether the kingdom would consider seeking nuclear weapons of its own if Iran managed to acquire a bomb, Prince Saud replied: "We have made it very clear that we are not going down that road under any circumstances."

    He paused for a moment, before adding, "under any foreseeable circumstances".

    There will never be Peace. Only Israel benefits from these endless Middle East wars. Iraq is the beginning. As we commit war-crimes in Baghdad, the US gov't commits treason at home by opening mail, eliminating habeas corpus, using the judiciary to steal private lands, banning books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia America Deceived (book), conducting warrantless wiretaps and engaging in illegal wars on behalf of AIPAC's paramour. Soon, another US false-flag operation will occur (sinking of an Aircraft Carrier by Mossad) and the US will invade Iran. Then we'll invade Syria, then Saudi Arabia, then Lebanon (again) then ....

    Watch how one of our USS Navy ships get blown up near the coast of Iranian waters and world war 3!

    I bet these fine and "intelligent" Israeli commandoes are up to speed with this scheme of blowing up a US ship and blaming it on the "Axis of evil".
    Could this be more obvious and childish???

    That's what gets me the most. That the plays they make are so obvious and childish.

    It just goes to show the cavalier attitude they take even when it comes to meeting their own ends.

    About as subtle as a brick to the face.. but sadly even that seems subtle enough to keep most people clueless.

    Bad times

    Frightening how perfectly you stated that. That is why the freedom of the internet will end. Nothing is more certain. They can't allow the truth to get out like this.

    The facist, racist, apartheid, terrorist police state of israel has nothing to do with peace. It profits from death and war. It exploits. It subverts. It considers itself above all the other peoples of the Earth, like a master to an animal. No, there will not be peace if the criminals that control that area and most of the world can prevent it.

    Israel could achieve nothing without its Fifth Column in the US and elsewhere. Global Revolution against them and their neocon collaborators is the only solution.

    Bring it on! Sooner this all kicks off, the better. Can't wait to see the pictures of burning US carriers, rockets falling all over Tel Aviv from multiple directions, massive uprising in Iraq against the Christian invaders.

    All this crap about world war III - do you really think China or Russia will get sucked in? They'll just wait a few days for the US to get a good kicking and Israel to get flattened, then end the war by dumping their dollar reserves and destroying the US economy overnight. World domination without firing a shot. The resulting civil war in the US will last for years. Think it won't happen? Been to LA recently? Best get learning that Spanish.

    Oh yeah, because "Micron Surfer" really tells us who you are.

    There are no more Nazis, only Jews pretending to be Nazis for sympathy.

    Broken bottle in the ass? You're gay.

    micron surfer huh, sounds like all that broken glass in your buttocks gave you a micron pennis buddy. As for Isreal and the Jews, ill happily watch them meet their end. And when the US declares that we are going to use our tax dollars to send aid, i will quit my job. Ill be damned if MY tax dollars are going to a cause as worthless as helping Isreal and ITS OWN. Those worthless freaks, just look at them, they remind me of satan and the goats. Look how they dress in black and were their hair all funny. They (JEWS) are obviously different from the rest of all forms of the human species. I think Hitler knew something we dont. I think that he knew about their agenda which most likely was AND still is to infiltrate a foreign country, buy up and control its economy, then lobby its government in order to use that countries military to further their own agendas. It didnt work in Germany, but look what happened to the Soviet Union because of the Bolshevik Jews. Now with Putin running those DAMNED JEWS out of Russia, Isreal wants to do away with Russian backed Iran. Russia is currently building a nuclear facility in Iran. So what did the JEWS do? With the collapse of the Soviet Union, which they caused, they infiltrated the U.S. before I was born. Now the fruit of their labor have matured here in the US. They now control our media and military, and we are now doing their bidding in the middle east. Hitler knew that the only way for world peace to succeed was to do away with the instigators of war, the killers of christ, the Jews. I am an American that has been forced to draw my own conclusions because our media is so Pro-Isreal that it makes me distrust ALL aspects of our country. Why do we spend more than anyone on our military? Why do we not have universal health care like our neighbor Canada? Why do we let illegal Mexicans come across our borders in droves? Why did Alberto Gonzalez prosecute 2 of OUR own border patrol officers and sentence them to prison terms? MAYBE THEY DID THEIR JOBS TOO WELL!!? It seems to me like our government is concerned about only ONE thing, Isreal's agenda. Because A REAL GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, WOULD ADDRESS THE PEOPLE NEEDS AND WISHES FIRST AND FOREMOST. instead our ISREALI-controlled government wants to use the REAL U.S. as A TOOL. IF YOU CONTROLLED IRAN's GOVERNMENT, WOULD YOU WORK ON SOCIAL ISSUES FOR THEM, OR WOULD YOU USE THEIR TAX DOLLARS AND MILITARY SO YOU COULD FURTHER YOUR OWN COUNTRY? Fuck Isreal the greedy Jewish bastards.

    Jews did not kill Jesus Christ. Judeans did that. Jews "Jew" means the converts from Kazar. They are not even in the semite race. They are from what is modern Turkey, and they are converts. They practice 'Talmudism' - more commonly known as 'Mafia behavior'. Why would I blame the children of Kazars 'Jews' for that Judeans did? They have no relation.

    I am also an American that has studied world history for many years, and I must agree with the lengthy post at 9:41 AM on 3/27. It is a quite encouraging to know that there ARE others out there who have done their homework, like dutiful Americans should, so that the truth may come to light. I am not anti-Jew, but I am quite anti-Israeli policy. What Hitler faced in Germany was very similar to what we are experiencing today in the U.S. I live in Southern California, and if a movement comes about to bring our country back to what the Founding Fathers intended, YOU BET I'LL BE PARTICIPATING AND DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES!

    Oh, I'm as anti-Israel as the next guy (just ask my Israeli ex-friend), but do scroll up and look at the picture again guys!

    Doesn't this 'prince/minister' character just look incredibly evil? I mean, just look him in the eyes... real creepy!

    He wants nothing but peace.. yeah sure.

    I have a lot in common with Muslims. They don't think putting our young women in porn is great. They don't spread drugs, drinking, and immoral behavior. (Jews thrive on all those things) No Arab wants my children to have a 45% interest credit card. We are against Usury, as were America's founding fathers. Jews ARE usury. Arabs and I can openly agree to not like each other. Jews, DEMAND - they have a ruling position in ALL levels of my life, and if I resist, I am then an 'antisemite who wants to kill all jews'. Arabs have no plans to ABSORB my people. Jews FORBID my people to exist in ANY form, outside their 'benevolent' leadership. Arabs don't make 'hate laws', laws that ONLY WHITE PEOPLE go to jail, and ONLY for Jewish 'victims'. My freedom of THOUGHT and OPINION is forbidden by Jews? They always make the same mistake, all through history. Like me, most would never raise a hand to harm others on a groupthink level. However, like me, most would never raise a finger to save them either. When they are chased through the streets, they think anyone is coming to help? Justice is justice. They blew up the WTC buildings, and I know it. Then I am told to shut up, stop thinking, and knowingly BETRAY MY COUNTRY to an enemy foreign power? No. If the price of my patriotism is death, or being called anti-semite.. I PROUDLY acceopt. Please, on my tombstone write, "Here is an American who died an antisemite". I would be thankful.

    “Let’s not bicker about who killed who. Let’s forget about the past. It’s water under the bridge.” – so advises any captured murderer or rapist.

    The poor masses are not equal to the wealthy. The uneducated robbed of their very ability to reason are not equal to the educated. Jesus himself drove the usury mongers from the house of holy by his own angry hand.

    Mercy is for the weak. A villain audacious enough to attack the strong, will in turn feast in gluttony upon the weak, who are so much easier prey. When the strong forgive so then the weak are slaughtered by the evil let free.

    Speaking out: about 9-11 Truth, about the criminal private corporation known as the Federal Reserve, about illegal wars, about torture, about the emerging neo-Bolshevist (Neo-con/Jewish) police state is not an act of patriotism. Failing to do these things are acts of treason and collaboration with the enemy and in time shall be punished accordingly.
