Wow!,now if that isnt the saudi pot calling the qatari kettle black

To be honest, he is kind of right though. I don't understand why even the Turk dude is trying to claim some sort of moral high ground by taking on the Saudis over Israel/Palestine. Since Turkey and Israel have enjoyed quite good diplomatic and economic relations, Plus they even had a very fruitful military cooperation until recently, that's not counting Turkey being a NATO member for over half a century(the only Muslim country we allowed in the grouping). Same with Qatar who still host the largest U.S military base in the region and is very close to Western powers(we will be setting up a military base there as well). So whats all this talk of picking on only the Saudis as ''sell out to the West/Israel '' while claiming to be holier than thou? lol
At the end of the day each player in the region is after their own interests. There is nothing like claiming the moral high ground or claiming to be standing up to the West/Israel alone. That's just laughable to be honest.
Maybe only Iran(due to their ideological ruled regime) has suffered from an irrational policy of being too antagonistic and ideological in its foreign policy, instead of being more flexible. However, funny enough they too are not fond of Islamist groups(read muslim brotherhood inspired groups) taking power in the region and would rather have a fairly secular regime like the Assad regime in Syria over the Islamists, even though they too were once viewed the same way by Western powers as an Islamist group before taking power during the Islamic revolution in Iran. So it's interesting to see they have been fighting against Islamist groups/Islamic revolution in Syria . Guess all boils down to INTERESTS as well.

so from a state view: why shouldnt we have diplomatic ties? what did the israelis do to us turks, decades ago? they didnt had fight us.. nor did they harm us.. but contrary to the israelis some others had a exctreemly bad history..

things are not quite black and white as some ppl try to act and show.. in the end its interest..

I agree, that's the way it should be, every country is after their national interests and should cooperate with ANY country that can serve their national interests. I was just making an observation regarding some comments on here where some are trying to claim they are better or claiming the moral high ground etc. So people should stop being emotional and ideological and be more pragmatic, geopolitics is about being pragmatic and following your interests and thats what most countries do.

I just personally found it very humorous,not to mention ironic,that you had a wahabist poster from saudi arabia criticizing turkey and qatar for being us vassals,when obviously saudi is one of THE chief us vassal states in the region.

that wahhabi you call was hailing the secularisation politics of mbs last time.. lets not destroy his new found religious ambitions.. I would feel very sad to be responsible for such a thing

Unlike KSA and UAE and Oman and Bahrain who hate Islamists, Qatar is the only Arab country that backs Islamists.

@pakistanipower @vostok @500 @Falcon29

I am not sure if you are using the word Islamist as a derogatory term or a positive term?

Qatar supplying Palestinians with weapons is a good thing unlike the others you mentioned who are only good at protecting Israel or killing each other or kids in Yemen

Every person has a right to live freely free from any occupation and with justice and rule of law

anyone fighting for this right is a freedom fighter and I support them 1000%

Looks like a good anti material rifle.

This is what the focus should be on...ak47 useless. Heavy calibre anti material rifles.
