Saudi Crown Prince Criticizes Biden for Human Rights Double Standards

MBS attempted to assert the U.S. president has double standards on human rights.

Bin Salman stressed that other journalists had been killed throughout the world that year, yet their deaths did not seem to concern the U.S. government as much as Khashoggi's case.

According to a Saudi official who spoke with Al Arabiya, the crown prince mentioned the fatal shooting of Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank in May. A U.S. official told The Times of Israel that MBS asked Biden what he was doing to achieve justice for her, especially as a U.S. citizen.

MBS also invoked a series of reported human rights violations and torture by U.S. forces against detainees in the Abu Ghraib prison in the early stages of the Iraq war.

He who is without sin.....................

There are many people here in the west who wonder how "we" can lecture and sanction others while "we" are collectively responsible for a plethora of atrocities against the rest of the world.

"We" are holding a journalist in confinement for years and recently illegally captured him from an embassy. His crime was to expose the criminal governments "we" live under and their crimes against humanity.

Also remember...the longest sentences were given to those who exposed Abu Ghraib, not those who planned or carried out the torture.
