Hate continues!
A series of explosive parcels recently worried America, and then only days later a terrorist incident led to the death of Jewish worshipers in a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. These events are the result of a climate of rising hatred, which is no longer limited to America alone, but has spread like a deadly virus around the world in a stunning and terrifying way.Hatred has found its goal in modern technology. Those who have had feelings of hatred that they have kept to themselves have now discovered through social networking sites that they are not alone. All terrorist groups attract their members through social networks, including terrorist organizations, such as Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS), Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.Some of those who harbor such hatred do so in the name of...

Hate continues!

A US midterm message that resonates across the Atlantic
One of the major political messages of the US midterm elections has been that rural voters dominate the cities. While the Democrats made enough gains in urban areas to take control of the House of Representatives, Republicans were able to expand their majority in the Senate, where each state gets two senators regardless of population size. In an election where neither side can claim a sweeping victory, President Donald Trump’s party did as well as it did because the small towns and the more sparsely populated rural areas of the United States are still, in the main, Trump country. Meanwhile, Democrat votes pile up in the cities, uselessly, from an electoral point of view.There’s more to the observation than an urban-rural split, though it may be the most important. There’s the...

A US midterm message that resonates across the Atlantic

Turkish escalation of the Khashoggi crisis
Okaz newspaperDiplomats have their own style in dealing with problems and crises. They have their own methods and standards. As for the citizen who loves his country, he has his own natural style in which he expresses his rejection of the attack facing his country.This formula was clear in the aftermath of the Jamal Khashoggi case. Saudi people were able to stand in front of this massive media campaign that is controlled and managed by many international factions. Saudis stood their ground and proved to the world that they are united and that there is no way to break this unity or tamper with it.After the article published by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Washington Post, we can clearly say as Saudi people and apart from any diplomatic language that Turkey is the key...

Turkish escalation of the Khashoggi crisis

Letter from an expat
Employment contracts signed with expatriates have sometimes come under fire for their ambiguity regarding salaries or benefits. What was agreed to and signed on is later found not to be carved in stone. A case in point is the following I received from a concerned expatriate:“Dear Tariq A. Al-Maeena:“I often read your columns and share your thoughts with my friends and colleagues. I find your opinions mostly honest and logic-based. A few days ago, I read your piece “Voices of the expatriates among us” that encouraged me to bring to your kind notice a recent example of cold-bloodedness toward one of the most learned and honorable expatriate members of your society.“One of my colleagues (also an expatriate), who is working as a university professor and is one of the most productive...

Letter from an expat

Beware of the patient man, when he loses his temper
Since the death of Jamal Khashoggi, may Allah Almighty have mercy on his soul, the Turkish side has taken advantage of this case from a political and media point of view.This is apart from the criminal aspect of the case, which a country having proper institutions ought to have concerned itself with. From the beginning, the political aspect has dominated the case and the criminal aspect has just been used to fill the gaps in the political campaign and media frenzy.In the Khashoggi case, the concepts of war media and media war are being taken advantage of. As a result, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been subject to an ugly and fierce media war. Different mass media outlets, drawing on various ideologies, are cooperating with one another, each with its own agenda.Some of them belong to the...

Why don’t we respect traffic laws?
OkazPeople learn about the principles of road safety in driving schools. However, many of the things that are taught in these schools are not applied practically on the road. Our streets are the real driving schools and they have courses that are based on the reality of the situation that drivers face every day.Many of us when we drive are on full alert for the many surprises we are going to face on the road because people fail to apply the rules of driving and adhere to traffic laws. Many believe that our streets are big enough to absorb law-abiding drivers and reckless drivers at the same time.While the traffic department attempts to apply rules and deal with violations, there is a lack of an educational approach and a general failure of drivers to follow traffic laws.As a result, our...

The Yemen war in Western media
The extent of the Western - especially liberal and European - media’s misunderstanding and misrepresentation of the Saudi involvement in the Yemen conflict is disheartening and baffling. To them, it looks like a war of choice not of necessity. They seem to believe that 10 Arab and Muslim countries decided one day that it was a good idea to bombard Yemeni towns and villages for no good reason. They seem to think that these countries could end hostilities anytime they wished, but somehow have continued on for three years and counting, and that the only way to stop them is to cease the sale of weapons and ammunition to the coalition leader, Saudi Arabia. They believe that if this happens, then peace will prevail the next day, and Yemenis will return to their pre-war “normal lives” and...

The Yemen war in Western media

We must separate our friends from our enemies
OkazThe true feeling of some Arab people and their governments toward the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its people is revealed with each political situation or crisis. Some of these people seem to view Saudi Arabia as an enemy and it has reached the level where they have used filthy language against the Kingdom, its people and leaders.There have been many occasions when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was attacked without any reason and in a way that is not acceptable from what are supposed to be “brotherly countries”. Some countries that we have close religious and historical relations with have taken a negative stand against us.The Kingdom has extended the hand of good faith and support to these countries at times when they were facing crises. Saudi Arabia does not mention these situations...

The trust of Salah... nightmare of ‘Hamadain’
The “Hamadain” regime, which is enduring a Saudi nightmare, is dreaming day and night about “wiping out” the Kingdom. This is not a figment of the imagination but shows the actual plight of the “ungrateful” Hamad Bin Khalifa and his failed coterie as was evident from his admission in an audio leaked from his telephone conversation with Muammar Gaddafi of Libya several years ago. The following is the partial transcription of the leaked telephone conversation: “After 12 years, there won’t be a Saudi Arabia.” Several years have passed and Hamad is in a dying state with depression, spending his lean years in distress!Most observers within the Kingdom and abroad would agree that Saudi Arabia has been the victim of an ongoing smear campaign aimed at discrediting it and harming...

Why has Erdogan written a newspaper article?
OkazThe Washington Post has taken the lead in the directed media campaign regarding the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. What I mean by “directed” is that it involves news that does not search for the truth, but rather seeks to directly intensify the attack on Saudi Arabia in an unprecedented way. This is done through columns, publishing leaked news or using the issue to cast light on other matters which have nothing to do with the main case.The biggest surprise here is the interference of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has written an opinion column about the case.As the president of a country where this crime, which has attracted international attention, took place and where officials from both countries are involved in a joint investigation, it was not wise for...
