According to Al-Nu’ami Saudi women basically suffer from unique conditions that Saudi men are fully liberated from: lower back pain, abdominal pain, depression, dysfunctional internal functions, unnatural behavior, impaired vision during menstruation amongst a few. Imagine how much money Saudi society can save by completely eliminating any form of access to medical care or salaries for doctors focused on the medical conditions that these Saudi men are spared of? No need to give any form of medical care to these men at all!

Count the ways. Institutionalized racism is official Israeli policy. Arab lives are cheap. They don't matter. They're considered subhumans.

Gaza is the world's largest open-air prison. Lockdown harshness prevails. Militarized occupation remains ongoing. Forty-seven years and counting. Ruthless and then some.

Civil law governs Israelis. Military orders control virtually all aspects of Palestinians' lives. Depriving them of fundamental rights.

Persecuting, brutalizing and terrorizing them. Languishing thousands in Israel's gulag. Politically held lawlessly.

Muslim lives are cheap in Israel
