The New York Times on Tuesday ignited a wave of backlash after revealing a framed photograph of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman displayed inside the New York City mansion of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The article, which takes readers inside the late convicted paedophile’s seven-storey Manhattan home, features surveillance cameras positioned above his bed and in adjoining rooms, taxidermied animals, and provocative artwork, including a sculpture of a bride clutching a rope suspended from the ceiling in the atrium.
The criticism escalated as people connected the image to long-standing allegations of Gulf-Israeli collaboration.
Sam Youssef, author and editor of American and International Affairs, asked: “Do you now understand why Arab rulers kneel to Netanyahu and the Mossad?”
Oh not the guy who likes to cut people up with chainsaws is a bad person??
Good thing he’s Twitter’s second largest investor, so he can wave away this a well. Less messy than having to trick a reporter to go to his embassy and having him chopped up to bits to shut him up from Twitter.
That’s weird. I thought the Saudis were into taking shits on American actresses, not raping children.
The man that has dismembered journalists might have had sex with children? I’m shocked. He seemed like such a nice guy.
You mean Trump’s BFF?
Widen that net, I’m pretty sure that’s Jared’s best friend
Now I’m not sure what to think.
Chad move.
Be massive monster.
Put up portraits of other despots.
Get killed in prison
Release lists as photo album.
“Do you now understand why Arab rulers kneel to Netanyahu and the Mossad?”
It would be so ironic if MBS raped girls together with Barat the former prime minister of Israel. The most fucked up way to make peace in the Middle East imaginable.
The whole Gulf leadership is in American pockets and they work together with Israel.
Israel-Saudi Arabia land bridge emerges as game-changing prospect
They did not increase oil production to replace Russian oil, after the full scale invasion of Ukraine. That was something the US really wanted, so hard to say they are in the pocket of the US. The simple honest answer is that the entire Gulf leadership has no problem with large scale human rights violation and starving thousands. They did it themself in Yemen and currently partly in Sudan.
That’s true. They do look out for their own wallet first. Any time they can earn 5 bucks by slaughtering a poor brown person the Gulf leaders are the first ones in line.

No way! What about the fact that they’re boldly standing up for their coreligionists in Palestine?
/s just in case.
Aren’t parts of Dubai basically just an alternative to Epstein’s island? We’ve known about Dubai/yatch girls and their poop play for about a decade now, I think. The whole Gulf region is compromised… They’ll taste Hell but I wish something was done today as well.
Yeah, when I saw this my first thought was: you mean the guy in a leadership position in a country where it’s legal and normal to literally sell your underaged daughters to middle aged men, was interacting with a known sex trafficker for underage girls? Shocking!
… But I don’t know enough about what’s happening in that country to know whether that specific thing is still legal/normal. Bluntly, I don’t really care. I care that young women are being put through that, I don’t care about the culture or the people in the culture that would participate in such activities. To me they’re all assholes.
Yes, the UAE is the most compromised Middle Eastern country. Saudi rulers however try to paint a conservative image as they heavily profit from Muslim pilgrims.
They’ve always been compromised. It’s a backwards culture (not everyone is part of it but the heads of state certainly are) that only has wealth because of oil. Otherwise they’d be living still like they did in the 1800s.
Honestly things may have been better in the 1800s.
Mohammed bin Salmon lol.
Sociopaths being sociopaths. Shame that they have power over all of us.
Only as much as our society gives them. 🏴
Why am I not surprised?
It’s funny to think that the world is mostly able to get along except for the faux friction cultivated between cultures by a handful of people to maintain a status quo which affords them any luxury they could crave. More articles like this and I won’t need to buy tinfoil.
It hurts my soul every day to think of what things could be like if we weren’t held back by this handful of evil manipulative people that sow chaos where otherwise we might have peace, cooperation, empathy, unity, and strength.
Of course, this clown is a puppet. He didn’t get his position because he’s a good leader, he got his position because he plays ball. Have fun blowing all those resources on “the line”, ya stupid fuck, until it’s your turn to be Saddam’d.
It’s illegal to have sex outside of marriage in Saudi Arabia and while there is no age of consent, you must be 18 to marry. It’s not like he would break the rules.
Well, you’re not going to believe this but there are temporary marriage contracts available that can be as short as an hour.
Why do people need an hour long marriage? Beats me…
Saudi Arabia makes up its own rules about everything. It’s Trump’s model.
i’m surprised he traveled so far
