Who else can we sale arms to to go and kill Muslims? I understand the Zionist regime is doing just that but they won't buy the arms, they get it for free., more than $3Billion each year.
Saudi people are blind deaf and dumbed by the system of government, they have no right to see the true world from different eyeglasses unless their Saudi style, or will behead or lose their freedom, or will be chopped like Khashoggi, or should scare all their life in their skin if talk truth,

I love Mehdi. He's so well-spoken and knowledgeable - as seen in this debate and the Zionism debate. He's passionate enough about the subject but not in a tacky way.
@@sayem619 if that was the case then nobody would vote for him. Half the people come there just to listen to his speech.

Mehdi Hassan is a twelver shia Indian Muslim. I consider him biased. India has many Muslim with Neo Ottoman views who wanted to revive Turkish Ottoman empire over Arabs. This is why most Indian Muslims such as Deobandis Barelvis and other still follow texts that are anti Arab. They are not anti Saudi they are anti ARAB altogether.

Medhi Hassan is my man. Outspoken, brilliant and funny. He carries the light of Islam the way this great religion was meant to be. I was born Christian and I will remain Christian, but I have the greatest respect for Islam the way it describes our God and the way to Him. No religion is as misunderstood and back stabbed in the western world as Islam and our media makes people believe that Islam is the way IS and Saudi Arabia portrait their religion. Nothing could be further from the truth.

THANK YOU. I nearly did a spit-take when Blunt advised against cutting ties in the fear that it would create a civil war in Saudi Arabia. If the royal family in the UK was an oppressive totalitarian regime routinely violating human rights against its own citizens, all thanks to a foreign country supplying them with weapons and military equipment... I wonder what he'd say if that country then decided that it was best for them to keep supplying the regime with weapons as to not spark a civil war? I'd bet my left nut that he'd take his chance with a civil war in a heartbeat. If the only reason why there's no civil war is because your supplies help keep the crushing foot of the regime over any form of opposition, you are not keeping the peace, you are feeding and enabling a monster.

I love that there's a lot of young people there. This is an antidote against indoctrination as they get to see both sides of the issue, and it's pretty obvious who's in the right side of history.
BOTH sides of the story? The story only has ONE side. Turkish Ottoman empire ruled Palestine and Mecca and Medina. Neo Ottomans dont want Arabs to rule Mecca and Medina and they dont want Jews to have Israel. Indian Muslims support Turkish Ottoman empire and want Jews and Arabs gone. This is why Indian Muslims didnt want Pakistan to be created because then Pakistan will have been in the 'British' camp. Jamal Kashoggi was a Neo Ottoman Turk who brainwashed Bin Laden into imposing khilafah over Muslims and Kashoggis supplied weapons to terrorists worldwide.
I like how all of the questions are asked at the same time. It doesn't give the audience time to reconfigure it's questions based on audience response.
The west should also cut ties with Israel, yet you won’t do that. I am a Muslim, I hate Saudi-Arabia as anyone else, but that doesn’t mean that Israel is innocent.
Hassan Mehdi is a formidable debater and, for the longest time time, I've seen him on the opposite side of the table. I'm so glad to see him on the same side of an issue I agree with. Hassan - you go guy!
I agree that it's nice to see him on the right side of the table. Unfortunately he'll be right back to supporting unrestrained capitalism with all the damage it does tomorrow.

I think this type of a debate, would be central to changing the lives of millions of people if organised in countries that have devastating side effects from having toxic ties with nations like Saudi Arabia. Where cutting ties would mean putting an end to cultural influences from Saudi Arabia and thus would mean revising, rebuilding and maintaining authentic cultural and societal systems of those effected nations.
@@ErtizaAbbas BETTER ONLY AT PROTECTING ISLAM AND FALSE PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND ALLAH. U CAN'T TELL ME MEDHI HAS NEVER STOLEN OR LIED IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE, BUT YET HIS STILL WALKING AROUND WITH 2 HANDS AND FINGERS RIGHT
I'm guessing that they blocked the comments on the Israel debate because it could have a lot of anti-Semitic comments which would give the video a low rating for the algorithm which would lose their channel a lot of advertisers money but on a debate about Saudi where it's equally expected that there could be a lot of comments that are islamophobic, the comments are not blocked. that shows how acceptable it is to be islamophobic that advertisers don't mind it
Was brought here because of Medhi’s debate about Zionism. He’s passionate and makes the most sense and still, comments have been blocked in that important debate. I’m glad that the votes went against the motion in that debate.
They created Saudi Arabia why would they want to destroy what's already theirs they control all Muslims if they control Saudi Arabia they knew this in the early 1900s
This one of the worst things that I have ever seen. First what happened in SAUDIA Arabia is not there business we are happy with our government and I do not understand from where they have the right to teach other people how do they live their won live also they don’t have any right to Ruling, mocking, or demanding a change in the system of government in a country that is not their country. STOP TALKING ABOUT SAUDIA ARABIA leave us alone. Also They are talking and expressing their opinion in a country in which they have not live. I am from Saudi Arabia, and it is the best government in the world in terms of consideration for its people. As for their war on Yemen, did you know that Yemen, which requested Saudi assistance in its war against the Houthis, and that Saudi Arabia received Yemeni refugees, did you know that Saudi Arabia took care of their treatment? And their studies, even at university, and that they have the same right as any Saudi, and did you know that Saudi Arabia is now undertaking a project to remove mines in Yemen at a cost of $40 million? The King Salman Center has provided aid to Yemen with a value of $9 billion so far The UAE is restoring schools and rehabilitating children recruited by the Houthis
@ Farina Marcina - Islam literally means - being in state of peace! Please dont live in hate of someone but educate yourself! People in west are educated + reasonable, and hence adopting Islam today - despite their warring leaders/media (esp in US).
Don't be fooled, this Mehdi Hassan is a wolf in sheeps clothing. He is of Pakistani descent and is employed by Aljazeera, the mouthpiece of Hamas and international terrorism. Pakistan is the hub of International terrorism. The country is full of madrasas, indoctrinating the next generation of terrorists. Aljazeera has not made a documentary about the terrorists camps in Pakistan. Brenton Tarrant, a white supremacist and the Christchurch murderer, spent some time in Pakistan, and speaks highly of the country. Very suspicious.

I'm sorry y'all but this debate shouldn't have existed, if they're gonna talk about crimes and deaths and blah blah then we should talk about the entire world not just focusing on one country, that's just pure stupidity ngl
Trump just illegally sold nuclear secrets which require Congressional approval behind Congress's back, at the same time Kushner got a loan for his overwhelming bad debt 666 New York building.
After the first speaker Mahdi Hassan, the debate became irrelevant to me. It is difficult to see how anyone can argue in support of Saudi Arabia in the year 2020. So it is alright to keep women under subjugation, to continue genocide in an already impoverish country? If not for its oil, Saudi Arabia will be an irrelevance to the greedy western countries. Hope Mahdi Hassan is taking adequate measures for his own personal protection. The Saudi Arabians do not take kindly to such open criticism of its regime.
It has never been more vital to support Saudi than now. They currently have a leader, in Mohammad bin Salman, who is making genuine progress at slowly reforming the country. If we forsake him now, and his political opposition (the Wahhabists) gain influence and power, Saudi will slip back down the path it’s slowly crawling out of.
Iran is the mother of terrorism. At least saudi arabia had never been proven to have a role in terrorist actijities. Iran under ayatolahs has. A pile of 1000 files related to killing iranians, americans, syrians and iraqi.
many other countries have oil. But the main reason why the west, particularly the US hold ties with Saudi Arabia, is because they keep the USD relevant.
I support Mahdi's views but the lady is clueless and ignorant to the fact that Saudi government is not Islamic. She goes on based on her personal hatred of Islam. She says the Saudi government is based on Quranic law but actually it is a kingdom and has nothing to do with Quran.

The question from the young "idealist" boy really summed up the whole decision about cutting ties with Saudi. It's a simple, straightforward understanding. What moral are we holding if we don't condemn vicious and absurd actions of crime?
Dear brother Mehdi Hassan, you are gifted. So proud! Your parents did you right by naming you Mehdi Hassan. We need more people from our community in the world to stand up.
I think rebuttals from the first opposer wasn't that strong, he just mentioned countering examples to dilute mehdi's arguments. I didn't see intricate analysis as to why the West shouldn't cut ties. In this debate, the problem that needed to be addressed is the alleged cases of human rights abuses by Saudi government. Which side does force Saudi government to respect fundamental rights of humanity. Opposition ought to have stated reasons as to why even cutting ties will not change the situation and infact give analysis why when West isolate Saudi, things might even go worse.

And every country has its own way of governing itself. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic monarchy and it runs as per the shariah law. Definitely don’t need a 2 cent journalist telling the world what to do and talk about world politics. They could have invited someone more respectable and reputable than Mahdi to speak about these issues. It’s an absolute shame!
