Israelis in Riyadh - Why the Saudis want to Normalise? with Sami Hamdi

Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive monthly calls: / thethinkingmuslim
The so-called Abraham Accords, delivered by the Trump Administration and embraced by Biden, has solidified Israel’s position in the Middle East. To date, normalisation has been enthusiastically embraced by the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. But the United States knows that the ‘prize’ is Saudi Arabia. In recent weeks the mood music has been positive for Americans. It is suggested a deal may be concluded very soon, with the de-facto Saudi leader Muhammad Bin Salman holding out for concessions before he signs on the dotted line.
Our guest this week is Sami Hamdi, the Managing Director of the International Interest, a global risk and intelligence company. He advises governments on the geopolitical dynamics of Europe and the MENA region and has significant expertise in advising companies on commercial issues related to volatile political regions. Sami is also featured as a commentator for Al Jazeera (Arabic and English), Sky News, BBC and TRT World.

*Atheists claim that they are intellectually superior to religious people because they are willing to question their beliefs, whereas religious people are dogmatic and refuse to question their deepest beliefs and won't consider evidence that could potentially undermine those beliefs.* Well, have you ever heard an atheist say: "I wonder if constantly increasing individual freedom is a good thing." "I was wrong about democracy being a viable system." "Maybe the sexual revolution was a mistake." "The evidence shows that equality of the sexes is destructive." "Let's have a debate on if freedom of speech and religion is good for society." "Could it be that women need fewer rights?" I have never seen an atheist raise these questions or hold these positions up to serious scrutiny. Nor do they provide any evidence for their beliefs on these matters. They simply assert them and ridicule and mock anyone who disagrees with them.

It's all political theatre. Brother is a great political commentator, but lacks understanding of monetary history and who really controls the show. He's commenting on the actions and reactions of puppets who the masses think are the masters of the show. They all have a master. Once you've internalized this, politics become clear: It's a distraction and its aim is to divide one another and keep us arguing with one another while the puppet masters work towards achieving their goals. They mention deen and make reference to the importance of at least having a basic understanding of what is happening around the world. I don't disagree with this point. But take all of it with grain of salt. Politics is meant to deceive. Stick to the Qur'aan and sunnah. Make duaa for ourselves and one another and work on ourselves until we become the change that we want to see in the world.

Normalization of relations between Israhell and the KSA will be the event to cause Allah (SWT) to call His humble uncompromising servants to lead the Ummah against those oppressive, hypocritical, and perverted principalities.

Quran 5:51 tells you everything you need to know about the Abraham accords, QURAN 9:97 Tells you everything you need to know about the arabs.

[@jamieammar6131]

I get the verse 5:51. But it's not like the Abraham accords are the first relationship established between Muslims and the Jews. After the creation of Israel, plenty of other Muslim nations established diplomatic relations. So why focus on the Abraham accords in particular ? It's not like the ayah talks about the nation of Israel in specific. Prior to Aliyah, or the creation of Israel, there were plenty of times Muslims and Jews were allies. In Islamic Andalusia and Cordoba to be precise. In fact, Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who is often considered the father of modern Judaism, was the personal physician of Salah al Din. So does the verse refer to all of those relationships or just the Abraham accords in particular ? Are you going to place Salah al Din in the same league as the spearheads of the Abraham accords ? Quran 9:97 ..you might as well read 9:99..just the verse after the next. The verse talks about the nomads around Medinah who were giving the Prophet a hard time. That is not a prophecy.

[@jamieammar6131]

@@hassandiallo5326 The concept of abrogation means when a ruling is superseded by another. Verses from 9:97 onwards are not rulings but statements. And 5:51 is a ruling. But my point was, you are paralleling the verse with the Abraham accords. But my point is, there were plenty of times when Muslims and jews were 'friends'. Al Wala al Bara concept means not to mistreat the 'dhimmis'. But Muslims are jews were 'good' friends over the history. But setting aside Jews under Muslim rule. There were plenty of times in history where Muslim empires allied with the Christian ones. Now if you say those were strategic..Abraham accords are pretty much strategic as well. Should all the Muslim nations in the world severe ties with the Vatican and the Red Cross and all the Christian nations ? I didn't include 9:98 because it's just a continuation of 9:97..there's no point. All these verses pretty much talk about bedouins of Medinah of that time, not bedouins of now. In the same same chapter, 29th verse..it says to fight the non believers until they accept Islam or pay Jizya. So, are you gonna fight ? Are you gonna justify the way of ISIS who also use verses like you are doing now ? Or are you going to focus on the tafsir of said verse and understand it a bit more ?

I will share the response to my son when he asked his grandfather, who fought in the Algerian war, "Was it difficult the atruggle?" My father responded: "No, we were fighting for our rights. "

[@yusufeng7907]

Turkey also has a relationship with Israel. Talk about that?

[@AIlSystemsGo]

Did you fully watch this? He talked about it in length.

[@masudsaleh5155]

🤡 You didn't watch the video. Madkhali bot The Saudi 🇸🇦 government facilitates Ribah, the economy over Islam (night clubs, singers, tours, etc)

[@kamielgerard3198]

It’s a crime that Sami Hamdi does not have his own podcast

[@TheThinkingMuslim]

He has The Thinking Muslim!

[@sahibzadasafi1701]

Listening sami bhai for the time.. Surprised the Amount of knowledge he has.. As a Pakistani I'm proud that to have such lovely personels in our Ummah.. ALHYMDULILLAH The way sami bhai described Osama bin laden nd aftermaths of 9/11 That Saudiz were in a very good position about Palestine.. May ALLAH SWT save our Ummah from every Evil... Ameen

[@humblebeing78]

Sami’s analysis is easy to understand. Thumbs up!

[@azharpasha4054]

Already liked, before watching it, ❤

[@KhalidMedani-fs8us]

Mr Hamdi is an amazing analyst. One of the best. Thank you for this.

[@mokhachoka2918]

The moroccan people showed what they truely believe about this issue in the world cup. 🇵🇸

[@tahamohammedi5898]

@@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki Bullshit every Moroccan i know was very happy with the aliance with Israel, they spout solidarity when it suits them but they don't mean it

[@TheSeeker-B]

Strange Moroccans u know....

[@SuperReHaN16]

It doesnt matter what people if Morocco believes. What matters is that why their govt has accepted israel? And why they havent protested against their King?

[@arimoff]

Morocco had thousands of jewish population and they lived there before it became Morocco. Morocco, where is your jewish population? You expelled them all, so now sit down and be quite. Or your arab muslim hypocrisy is showing. Before demanding for jews to treat arabs in a good manner, ask yourself, where are the Moroccan jews and how did you treat them. Is there a bigger hypocrite than an arab muslim? There is not. They complain of opression when they are a minority but they are the biggest opressors when they are the majority.

[@shukeelc5177]

The Moroccan regime doesn't represent the will of it's own people

[@youtubeowl9544]

Sami Hamdi is very eloquent. It's always a pleasure to listen to him.

[@m.w.s.4145]

JazakaAllahu khairan bro.

[@Zeee530]

Jazakallu Khair. Amazing again

[@akhalif579]

Excellent analysis to shed light the issues very much matter for the Ummah. Thank you.

[@alternativehistorypenguin2544]

Finally Sami is Back

[@abdulkhaled5145]

Oh God here goes. more jumbled up nonsense from Sami. Guess its ok for a Friday night 🤣😂

[@TheJujujujujuujujuju]

When i was younger I always wonder why Quran is Arabic and why the story is about Jews and Arab people.. now I understand everybody have their own prophet in the past but Allah choose these 2 nations. They were blessed with intelligent, power and natural resources.

[@masudsaleh5155]

The Saudi 🇸🇦 government facilitates Ribah, the economy over Islam (night clubs, singers, tours, etc)

[@thetraveller1612]

Another great in depth analysis of some of the past, current and future challenges facing our region. Once again, thankyou Sami.

[@qamerashah]

Absolutely fantastic. No words. Fantastic questions and what insights . Jzk. Truly the content reflects the name of your channel.

[@mhsidibe1]

You need 10 minutes of silence after watching this video listening. May Allah increase the rank of everyone who made this podcast

[@mohammedaslam3635]

Ma shaa Allah, we are in need of more Islamic brothers with understanding of the international politics and knowledge of deen as brother Sami Hamdi has .

[@aminaosman5094]

The most beautiful interview, thanks to both of you. Sami Hamdi you are a legend as always. ماشاءالله وتبارك.

[@YallaGoetheTV]

Mashallah this was an amazing podcast with an abundance of information, thank you brothers❤

[@jediTempleGuard]

I wish the very best for Sami. I'm not just talking about him, but... How painful it is to listen to his critical thoughts and at the same time worry if something bad will happen to him if he goes to Saudi Arabia.

[@roychain4877]

Sami is a very intelligent man 👨 opens mine eyes n mind thank u very much May Allah Almighty bless the Muslims ☪️ South Africa ❤❤❤U

[@sammu]

Yep, instincts were right, this was mad depressing. Reminds me of the hadith about Muslim being numerous in numbers but completely powerless while the nations of the world get together and destroy us one by one.

[@Lubnamanzu]

Simply superb. Brother Sami Hamdi, we need hundreds of people like you now. May Allah bless you abundantly and protect you from all harms. Aameen.

[@sheeny1710]

Amazing speaker. Please bring him back!

[@HumbledSlave]

Can somebody explain what is the normalization talking throughout in this video? I'm not a native English speaker.

[@A_Ottoman]

Nicely Spoken,btw i am curious about him making a YT channel since he doesnt have a YT channel,maybe it would get terminated

[@HSP9999]

He's absolutely right. I don't understand the intricacies of it, but I know for sure it's not right to normalise relation with Israel for the benefit of a small number of individuals. When we have non muslims like Richard Medhurst, who is absolutely against the state of Israel, we have Muslims justifying normalisation for speculative political advantage.

[@luciddoggo5094]

I just want a podcast with just sami hamdi talking for hour every week

[@user-gd2tq8zx1e]

It would be nice to see the Middle East work together for a better future Arab Persian Sunni or Shia. A united Middle East will have the world looking for to ally with and do business with. One day one can only hope

[@masudsaleh5155]

Selfishness

[@adilhussain2378]

A lots of love from pakistan for both of you ❤

[@wisalanas]

Contemporary, relevant topics!! Love this channel! JazakAllah khair to the entire team!

[@taliasya2273]

What a great conversation. Thank you. We lived in SA in the 1980’s and 90’s. I knew there were ‘deals’ back then, but I really don’t trust MBS, and have always thought his openness to Israel was questionable. I am listening in 5/24. I would like to know If your thoughts on Israel and Saudi have changed since you recorded this in 2023.

[@ericksaid5327]

Our prophet was very clear about them

[@arimoff]

Our Jewish prophets and Gd in the Torah was clear about ishmael and you.
