It's interesting to see how different our news sources are. I'm making the assumption that you are accurately conveying what your news sources tell you, and in many cases it seems different than what I read. Makes me wonder what sources are closest to the truth?
accuatly i forget which channel i watch/heard that news , but i find many sites talking about that matter .
and for sure Saudi Arabia and other kings of oil are stock their money in the West , especialy USA and Europe .
I believe that Saudi Arabia and other kings of oil are paid (and still paying) the favor of USA , when USA saved them from Iraq (Sadam) ;in 1991.
so they standing with USA ,as USA stood with them before in Gulf war 1991 and protecting their non-democratic regime .(from Arabic spring) .
I read in article talknig about this matter they said " IF the kings of oil retrieve (at once) their money from USA and Europe , will happen a globale economic criss ."
Some are talking ,that fortune it's estimate about 2 trillion dollars .
some sources said it's about 12 trillion .
As i told before the media is could be remoted (not neutral), so news sometimes are painted by opinions , chose to watch the Media which agree with my opinion (Favorite Media source) .
So when I told many times Israel is racit country because i convince by media sources which show deeper (different than yours) angle,how the zionists (Jews) treat badlly the Arabs citizens of Israel (distinction inside Israel, Jew NOT equal to Arab citizen) and Palestinians "Arabs" out side Israel creat the HELL in the earth , occupation and colonise and seige to Gaza and West Bank and Lebanon ...etc
so I watching the Western sources (CNN,Euronews,BBC,Alhurra,, France24,TV5 monde...etc) and I watching the other opinion Arabic/Persians/Russian sources (Aljazeera,Samatv,SyriaTV, Almanar,the press TV,Russia Today...etc )
I could tell you that i am not very much agree with them ALL, the different is ,there is some reports diffusion in Arabic/Persians sources which represent the show bad treatement of Israeli jew citizens/police against Arabic Israel citizens and occupated Arabs in WB and Gaza .
for my opinion all the bad actions could be justified ,except being racist.
