The start of the entertainment?

Just when we thought that ISIS was coming under control, after losing Ramadi to the Iraqi army, things have hotted up nicely in the middle-east again. Couple of days back Saudi Arabia executed 47 on terrorist charges, of whom 43 were Sunnis, who are the majority in the country. Trouble was that 4 were Shiites, including a cleric, named Nimr al-Nimr. Shiites have been protesting across the region, including in Saudi Arabia, where they are a minority and normally try to stay hidden. The Saudi embassy in Tehran was firebombed. In response, the Saudi government has severed diplomatic relations with Iran and asked the ambassador to leave within 48 hours. " Iran executes far more people a year than Saudi Arabia, but it does not get the negative publicity Saudi Arabia has. This is something that must be addressed," said a Saudi political commentator. Quite. Just stop chopping people's heads in public, as a kind of entertainment. Iran released a picture comparing Saudi Arabia with ISIS in which the Saudi executioner is in white and the ISIS is in traditional black. The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei has promised 'divine revenge'. Meanwhile, Israeli commandos are rescuing Syrian rebel fighters, sworn enemies of Israel, who have been wounded in battle. They are left by their comrades at the fence separating Israel from Syria, picked up by the Israelis and treated by them in the hope of sending them back to fight Bashar al-Assad. But Assad's forces are fighting ISIS, with support from the Russians and help from Iran and Hezbollah from Lebanon. So, will these actions by the Saudis and the Israelis end up helping ISIS which is being targeted by big brother, the US, which supports both countries? On the other hand, Russia has recently eliminated leaders of several other rebel groups fighting Assad, so are Russian actions helping ISIS? Turkey's President Erdogan is helping the US to bomb ISIS but is also helping them by bombing Kurdish PKK forces. Turkish fighter planes shot down a Russian SU-24 returning from a bombing mission, apparently for straying into Turkish air space for 17 seconds. Russia is sure that this was in revenge for bombing ISIS oil trucks which were being bought by Erdogan's son. Turkish fans booed during one minute silence for the victims of the Paris attacks, before a friendly football match with Greece. Meanwhile, a ceasefire has broken down in Yemen, to the south of Saudi Arabia, where a coalition of Arab countries, including Saudi, has been bombing Houthi rebels, who are Shia. Across the Red Sea, in North Africa terrorists are busy practicing their craft. We have written many times that Israel and Saudi Arabia will join together to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Maybe, it will be more exciting than that. We wait to be entertained.
