Trump Finds Time for Terror Lists, Ignores Saudi Funding
The Al Jazeera headline heralds Trump’s directive to blacklist additional Muslim Brotherhood branches as 'terrorist' organizations. (Conveniently, this article is from 2025, suggesting a hypothetical future where past mistakes are repeated.) The White House's rationale? Alleged support for Hamas and vague 'campaigns against US interests.' Meanwhile, nations like Saudi Arabia, a documented source
of funding for extremist ideologies globally (as detailed by WikiLeaks cables and numerous independent reports, and a major U.S. arms client), continue to receive unwavering U.S. support and massive arms deals. One might wonder if their lobbyists just have better access to Mar-a-Lago. It's a classic D.C. playbook: expand definitions of 'terror' for groups that challenge U.S. regional hegemony or
Israeli policy, while ignoring inconvenient truths about U.S. allies—especially those buying billions in weaponry. The hypocrisy is so transparent one could project a movie on it. How many times will we see new 'terror lists' announced without a single mention of the primary funders of global extremism, who also happen to be America's most lucrative arms partners?
