He’s a handy means to bash the Saudis and MBS in particular.

Yeah, right? He was a piece of sh*t who supported Hamas terrorists and wanted to sabotage the Abraham Accords.

Sorry about what happened to Khashoggi but the world is a harsh place and he was a pawn. Nothing more.

It's because Saudi Arabia knows what pronouns to use....what gender people are...and that Israel is not the most dangerous country on earth.

No kidding. The left didn't want to hear from Jamiel Shaw Sr about an illegal killing his son, Jamiel Jr.

he was an Iranian spy and spread pro Iranian propaganda, and Obama and friends loved Iran.

one of his propaganda pieces was published in the WaPost, so the left calls him a journalist.

Iran is an enemy of the Saudis and is in a proxy war with them: their proxies in Yemen frequently send missiles into Saudi oil fields. The west laments the starving in Yemen, but like the poor in Gaza never questions why they can afford millions of dollars for missiles but no money for food.

“I never could understand the weird fascination among the left with Khashoggi.”

He could be used as a club on Trump, knowing that Trump couldn’t respond without risking collapse of the Saudi government.

It’s that simple - no fascination with him, or we would have heard his name, at least once in a while, BEFORE he was killed.
