The Biden administration wants to know if Saudi Arabia used American weapons to kill 'hundreds' of migrants
Human Rights Watch has accused Saudi Arabia of killing "hundreds" of migrants and asylum seekers near the Yemen border.
It’s high time that we stop selling weapons to the Saudis. If they’re not using them to kill migrants, they’re using them to kill Yemenis.
We have blood on our hands.
We have blood on our hands
Naturally, being the world largest terrorist state, thats gonna happen
If we suspect the Saudis did this, we should absolutely look into it, and if they did, stop providing them with weapons.
But while we're auditing who may have used American weapons to kill migrants, we might want to check on this little organization called Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Yeah until we can investigate cops killing innocent American citizens i highly doubt they would care about the ICE raping children and killing their migrant parents
ICE has killed thousands. So of course we need to start with SA's hundreds.
We already know of atrocities they've committed. We should have stopped providing them weapons long ago. Since we failed that, we absolutely should stop right fucking now.
But yeah, also fuck ICE.
I'll answer that for you, Joe.
OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DID!
The method isn't really important when slaughtering asylum seekers.
How on earth did these terrorists get their hands on US weapons? Oh, we sold them to them? Why do we keep electing terrorist arms dealers?
the forever unconditional ally
Well.
Until they run out of delicious, tasty, yummy in our tummies oil.
Pretty shitty ally, if you ask me.
What are you gonna do if they say yes? Are you gonna punish them the same way they were punished for killing Jamal Khashoggi…so not at all and rewarding them with another multimillion dollar arms deal?
Fuck the Saudi government. Bunch of scum.
Well they drove a few planes into some of our buildings….so naturally we’ll just shower their pretty pink heads with little green pieces of paper into perpetuity.
Of course they fucking did it, they give zero fucks about pretending to be anything other than too rich to care about human life and all too willing to kill over money and sky cake
Forgive my ignorance, sky cake??
The old sky cake dodge
Why, yes we did.
This really isn't much different from what the leading Republican candidates want to do at our southern border.
So he wants to know this specifically but doesn't care about all the other atrocities Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen with full support from the US that he already knows 100% about? He's very good at pretending to care.
Current administration’s version of:
“Are you a terrorist?”
I always hate when Amazon vendors pursue feedback aggressively.
The 80 year old boomer doesn't care and never did
I mean they used american planes to kill Americans and nobody seems to give a shit about that
Is Mecca Muslim? Never put anything beneath the Chainsawdis!
Well of course the administration would want to know.
If they used them, that means they'll need to buy more!
Ummm…. American weapons can be found in every nation on Earth. Pretty sure Russia is using some in Ukraine.
What difference does that make?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Biden administration is demanding answers following a report that Saudi authorities may have killed hundreds of migrants in Yemen, possibly with arms provided by the United States, according to The Washington Post.
Last month, Human Rights Watch issued a report alleging that, between March 2022 and June 2023, Saudi border guards killed "at least hundreds" of Ethiopian migrants who were trying to cross into the country from neighboring Yemen.
The attacks included the use of explosive weapons and execution-style killings of people who had just been released from detention in Saudi Arabia itself, the group charged.
Bill Frelick, director of HRW's refugee and migrant rights division, said he was "shocked and horrified" by the allegations, which he described as among the worst he's seen in more than 30 years.
One person said that an attack on a group of 170 migrants left more than half of them dead, according to HRW, appearing to reflect a conscious decision to discourage migration through targeted killings — and raising the prospect that there is a "state policy of deliberate murder of a civilian population."
Michal Ratney, US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, discussed the allegations last month — ahead of the report's release — and US officials are now trying to determine whether the units accused received training or weapons from Washington.
