As Canada Stands Up to Them, Saudi Arabia Threatens to Fly a Plane Into Toronto Tower—Just Like 9/11

 Canada is doing something that the United States has never been able  to do, and that is standing up to Saudi Arabia. And, as a result of  standing up to the tyrannical Saudi Arabian government, Canadians were  issued a dire threat suggesting a new 9/11 style attack on their own  soil. The incident began after Canada demanded that Saudi Arabia release several civil rights activists who’ve recently been thrown in jail. The  Saudi government responded by giving Canadian ambassador, Dennis Horak  24 hours to leave the country and then recalled its own ambassador to Canada, saying that it retained “its rights to take further action.”   

As the Guardian reports,  the country’s education ministry is reportedly looking to move  thousands of Saudi scholarship students out of Canadian schools, while  Saudi Arabia’s state airline said it would suspend flights to and from  Toronto. “The kingdom of Saudi Arabia … will not accept interference in its  internal affairs or imposed diktats from any country,” the ministry  tweeted in response to being called out for rife human rights abuses. 

 “The Canadian position is an overt and blatant interference in the  internal affairs of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia and is in contravention  of the most basic international norms and all the charters governing  relations between states.” 

Consequently, the US government, who has sold billions in weapons to  the terrorist regime over the last two decades, is and always has  remained entirely silent on the horrific abuse doled out by the Saudi  state. 

Adding to the ominous nature of the dispute, shortly after the row began to worsen, a Saudi Arabian organization tweeted a digitally altered image that depicted a plane flying toward Toronto’s CN Tower—in an obvious reference to 9/11.  The image was tweeted with the following caption, “sticking one’s nose where it doesn’t belong!” With another saying below, “He who interferes with what doesn’t concern him finds what doesn’t please him.” 

The image was retweeted hundreds of times as Twitter blew up at the  government-funded group Infographic-KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) for  tweeting such an ominous threat. Before being scrubbed from the internet, the group issued an apology  and attempted to claim that the picture of a plane—aimed directly at the  CN Tower, accompanied by a threat—was meant to portray the ambassador  returning home. 

However, the internet is not buying it. The Saudi ministry of media shut down the Twitter and Instagram  accounts and claim they are investigating the group because of the  complaints. For those who don’t recall, it is a fact that 15 out of the 19  hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. Also, last year, for the first  time since that fateful September morning nearly 17 years ago, families  of victims of the 9/11 terror attacks used a new law to go after Saudi  Arabia in lawsuits for their role in the attacks. During the trials,  evidence was revealed showing the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington  may have funded a “dry run” for the hijackings carried out by two Saudi  employees.

 What’s more, as TFTP has previously reported, thanks to the release of the 28 pages,  Americans and the rest of the world now know that Saudi Arabia played a  significant role in the September 11th attacks. Also, thanks to the  release of 28 pages, we know that the US government was complicit in covering up Saudi Arabia’s role in the attacks. 

Even the severely flawed and biased “9/11 Commission Report” did  not did not “exclude the likelihood that charities with significant  Saudi government sponsorship diverted funds to Al-Qaeda.” For a decade and a half, Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush  kept secret the alleged role Saudi Arabia played in the September 11  attacks on America. Becuase of the cozy relationship the US has with the  terrorist nation—which Trump is complicit in maintaining—special  interests within the government have chosen to protect their Saudi  friends instead of telling Americans the truth about what happened that  fateful day. 

Despite repeatedly pleas by activists and politicians alike, the US  government has overwhelmingly looked the other way in the face of all  the evidence and human rights abuse, opting instead to ignore it and  sell the tyrannical country weapons they are currently using to carry  out genocide in Yemen. This is the exact opposite of what Canada is doing and the US should take some notes. 

Thank you, Canada for speaking up. When are we going to hear from the US, the UK, and the EU about these arrests? #HumanRights #ReleaseSaudiDetainees #Saudi #Canada https://t.co/AZuAmQ2TC1 — Manal al-Sharif (@manal_alsharif) August 6, 2018

However, the entire US government’s response to the massive spat  brewing between Saudi Arabia and Canada consists of State Department  spokesperson Heather Nauert releasing the following statement, “Both  sides need to diplomatically resolve this together. We can’t do it for  them; they need to resolve it together.” For the hundreds of families currently suing the Saudi Arabian government for their role in 9/11 this tweet serves as even more evidence of their complicity.
