Saudi Arabia
recently executed a Shi'ite cleric (along with 46 other people), eliciting a strong protest from Iran. This isn't wholly surprising on the part of either party: Iran is a Shi'ite majority nation and
Saudi Arabia has been on a bit of an execution roll this year. But what's, well, also not that surprising is
who Iran cast the blame on.
In a strongly worded statement, the [Islamic Revolution Guards Corps] said Saudi Arabia's execution...was 'a Zionist conspiracy' to 'intensify sectarianism' among Shi'is and Sunnis.
Because when I think "places Jews have leverage over", I think Saudi Arabia.
What am I saying ... Jews have leverage over
everyone. My mistake, carry on.

I don't get it. We are fighting against ISIS, a band of murderous religious fanatics and allied with the Saudis, who are probably worse.
