Saudi Border Guards Are Slaughtering Refugees

A new report has revealed that Saudi Arabia has been killing refugees that are trying to seek asylum in their country, with some survivors saying that the Saudi military is walking right up and shooting people at the border.

A new report has revealed that Saudi Arabia has been killing refugees that are trying to seek asylum in their country and some survivors are saying that the Saudi military is walking right up to people, shooting them dead, right on the border. Now, here's the problem. United States as usual, because it's Saudi Arabia, we don't care. Okay. They're buying our jets for 80 gazillion dollars a piece, whatever it is. They're coming to the United States, we're training their pilots right here down the road from where we live. We're buying their oil. We are prisoners to Saudi Arabia and this insane prince, I mean, is there any other way to describe this guy other than insane? And this is being driven, promise you, by him?
Yeah. We've got a new report from Human Rights Watch, Ethiopians coming from Africa, crossing through Yemen. They're escaping horrendous conditions back home. They make it to the border in Saudi Arabia. And if they survive the bombing because we've got reports from these refugees that Saudi Arabia is sending missiles at 'em. They're just bombing the hell out of 'em. The ones who survive that are then met with these Saudi border guards, who in some instances, according to these reports, will go, which limb do you want me to shoot you in?
Before I kill you?
Yes.
In other words, they're showing up, they make it past all of that and then they say.
Where would you like to be shot?
You want us to shoot you in the leg? Wanna shoot you in the arm, before we kill you?
And this is men, women, and children that are being slaughtered. And the ones who are not slaughtered, many of them end up in these internment camps that Saudi Arabia has. They're being tortured, they're being raped, they're being put into forced labor. This is if any other country, if you replace the word Saudi Arabia with Russia, if you replace it with North Korea or Iran.
Of course, of course.
US troops would already be there banging on their door saying, we're getting rid of you. But because it's our good friends in Saudi Arabia, we look the other way. And they commit these gross abuses.
And you know who their best friend is? The weapons industry. The weapons industry is making an absolute killing from Saudi Arabia buying weapons to go kill folks in Yemen. But the stories are horrendous. Girls, teenage girls making it across the border are being raped, along with being before they're shot through the arm or shot through the leg, they're first raped, then they're basically tortured. And then the border guards kill 'em. One thing, what was the story about if they're injured, if they can't walk, if they've got some kind of injury, they send them out into a field and drop mortars on 'em?
Yeah.
Did I get that story right?
Yeah. That is one thing that Human Rights Watch talked about in this report. And it's difficult to talk about this. And I hope people understand that this is such a massive story. This is an absolute abuse of human rights. The entire world should be condemning Saudi Arabia.
Tell me where it's being reported. Did you see this on the nightly news?
No. Human Rights Watch is the only place I've seen it.
You see it New York Times?
No.
No, you don't see it on Fox, MSNBC, CNN. Why? Same reason and we talk about this all the time. When you see a Raytheon ad, a Boeing ad on CNN or MSNBC or any of the networks, Fox, why is that ad there? It's not that, hey, Raytheon, man, they make missiles. Maybe I'm gonna need a missile someday. It is because they're buying access. They're buying influence with the network. Okay. And so if they wanna kill a story, they'll do it.
