Saudi Arabia, proxy for US-Israeli imperium: Analyst
Press TV has conducted an interview with Anthony Hall, professor of globalization at Lethbridge University in Lethbridge, to discuss Saudi Arabia’s support for ISIL Takfiri terrorists in Syria.
What follows is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: Well it seems it just gets better and better out of Saudi Arabia. We have them leading an international human rights council and now we have the Saudi foreign minister saying that Assad must go. Your take sir.
Hall: It is quite bizarre. On the one hand Saudi Arabia is kind of the public, overt proxy for, could I call it, the Israeli- American imperium and another proxy for the same imperium is ISIL and the absurdity of having Saudi representative declare the Assad regime to be a human rights violator, this is beyond the pale.
We have to get some modicum of truth. We heard about the Saudi attacks in Yemen. Saudis are becoming the most aggressive [front] people at the frontier edges of this Israeli-American imperium, a proxy force for the old empire.
Press TV: Why do you think that that is the case? Why does it appear that they are coming more and more to the forefront these days?
Hall: Well I think the Islamic Republic of Iran is growing in strength, increasing its influence in the region and the Saudis are being used by the usual suspects to counter this in what they are calling the new Cold War of the Middle East.
The reality is the Islamic Republic of Iran is a successful Islamic country, exactly what Israel does not want to see in the region and the Saudi-Israeli axis is becoming increasingly obvious that they are always on the same page. It is quite a creation of the old Anglo-American empire to create this Saudi-Israeli axis.
