A post I made in a Khashoggi thread on 3/14/21 here:

Anyone upset over Khashoggi doesn’t understand that part of the world, and looks at them through a Western lens. Which is ultimately very, very misleading. There are basically no good guys involved. The Saudis got rid of a Muslim Brotherhood operative they saw as a threat, but did it very inartfully.
There was a thread on this recently wherein 10mm gave a brilliant short summary:
“Can someone tell me why I’m supposed to care that a terrorist nation had a terrorist murdered in another terrorist nation?
I’m more concerned with why the Washington Post had a known terrorist on their payroll.”
Also, that “another terrorist nation” is Turkey. Erdogan has done worse to real journalists, and no one in the Biden Administration is saying a thing about that, and Turkey is still in NATO for some reason.

Great unpacking of this by Daniel Greenfield.
