Jamal Khashoggi on “MBS’s War” in Yemen | FRONTLINE

In never-before-seen interview footage from years before his murder, Jamal Khashoggi praised the military campaign against Iran-allied Houthi rebels in Yemen, launched by then-defense minister Mohammed bin Salman, while talking with FRONTLINE’s Martin Smith. “Look, for Saudi Arabia it is a 1939 moment,” Khashoggi said, comparing Iran to Nazi Germany.

He was stupidly supporting Saudi aggression on Yemen.
Then was brutally punished by Saudis themselves.

[samzandi]

Yemen is there and he is lost! what an Irony.

[mohussein]

Had Jamal, took the houthi basic training, he would have been certified to handle a 15 man KSA hit squad.

[aonaziz]

Don’t feel sorry for this guy cuz he agreed to the war on Yemen

[booognish]

I think there had to be behind the scenes stuff that influenced this, that we will probably never know.

[tonyalandon]

RIP Jamal. Your bravery will stand in the history books, as will the lies, corruption, and cover up of your tragic and sad murder. Positive thoughts to his family. Please know that many feel that Jamal was and will always be considered heroic. Let him not die in vein.❤️

Allah swt grant brother Jamal Khashoggi Jannah n punish MBS for killing an innocent Muslim.

[hanah]

Jamal knew too much secrets of the Royals especially MBS ones so he silent him forever.

[Sung_Jam]

It's nice that yemen are fighting back against the Saudi

[AvgJoe_]

I saw some of his interviews before his death and he proved to be a complete lier and hypocrite. He was as brutal as other saudi monarchs are and they killed him just because of their own political reasons. The way he was killed is condemnable but it is something he was purely able to do if he was in place of MBS.

[manoumino]

Trying to be devil's advocate is not wise. May Allah keep the devil's away from us

[Hind_Q]

Never thought of him other than Saudi regime validitator and apologist .. yet he was brutally and viciously murdered

[darkthought]

he support usa sanction against Iraq and his uncle support The monarchy against the Yemenis in the 60's
and he say to a saudi if don't like 40 bilion on Train go live like the Amish !

[reportersroom]

People can change and ideas too, why some people need to be so harsh and double standard here.

[mohamedbadbess]

IF KHASHOGI WAS IN FAVOUR OF THE WAR IN YEMEN THEN HE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT.

[Mel]

i wonder why the investigation hasn't been noticed anymore?

[helenq]

The king issued orders to conduct investigation into the case which resulted in the arrest a number of suspected. 11 suspects were charged by the Attorney.

[hurrinmaryam]

Why Saudis can't give their voice? It's not about freedom I think, Saudis just want to be listened by their gov't. Just like other countries, it's very common. Nothing is perfect

[uegvdczuVF]

Listening to Saudi talking about fighting for freedom... jesus ... what's next ... let me guess - defending democracy and apple pie?

[nevaehlorne]

MBS : " I didn't do it, I did do it or whatever. Those are just words. "

That line used by a guilty person well legally prepared for interviews.
