This is exactly what was not needed. The real culprits--if you need to
speak in such terms--are neither Zionists nor Saudi princes. They are
instead the members of the permanent government in the USA who are
responsible for long-term geopolitical thinking and whose white papers
will only be revealed after working people take power and open up the
secret files, just as they did in Russia in 1917 (and the students at
Columbia did in 1968). When that day comes, you will I'm sure not find a
single memo indicating that a Saudi prince or a member of Hadassah is
giving a member of the US ruling class his marching orders.
