When the Saudi writer Turki Al-Hamad tweeted, “Simply… Palestine is not my cause,” he was aware that he had dared to speak dangerous, and apparently wanted to push the electronic flies again to support the Emirati-Israeli normalization.
Electronic flies are cells of millions that are active in Twitter under mostly fake names, and they are directed with a signal to support a cause or attack another, according to what is consistent with the directions of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
While Saudi Arabia did not publicly support the Emirati-Israeli normalization, the flies in support of its official positions picked up Al-Hamed's signal in a hurry, and pushed the tag "Palestine is not my cause" to the list of the most discussed globally.
And if I were in the place of Saudi Arabia, I would have printed from today. Blame this way and so on. Like barley, it is not reprehensible ... Sir, His Highness Prince Muhammad, printed, because all the anger of the Arabs is a whirlwind in a cup. Jerusalem was defeated, so what did they do, nothing..they do not want to solve the issue .. They want injustice and mourning to continue on the Temple. Trust me, they and the Shiites of Hezbollah do not deserve respect .. https://t.co/xpEVsUYOTJ

Following the example of the Emirates
A week after the announcement of the Emirati-Israeli normalization, electronic flies continue to prepare Saudi society for a similar step.
There is no official information available about Saudi Arabia's intention to follow the UAE and establish relations with Israel, but Western and Israeli sources indicate that Riyadh is within a stone's throw of normalization.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said he expected Saudi Arabia to join the agreement announced by the UAE and Israel.
Earlier, Israeli Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen said - in a statement to the Israeli Army Radio today - that "other agreements will be signed with more Gulf states and Islamic countries in Africa."
He continued, "I think that Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman are definitely on the agenda. In addition, in my estimation, there is, in my estimation, an opportunity already next year for a peace agreement with other countries in Africa, especially Sudan."
As for the biggest target in the path of normalization, it is Saudi Arabia, according to the statements of US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, in an interview with the US channel "NBC".
The German agency Deutsche Welle reported that the candidate countries to emulate the Emirates are: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the Sultanate of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Mauritania.
This approach may explain the electronic flies' insistence on continuing to undermine the Palestinian issue, describing it as not central and no longer the issue of Arabs and Muslims in the east and west of the earth.
Like Al-Hamid, many stated that the Palestinian cause was not theirs, and they were not satisfied with that, but attacked the Palestinians and accused them of selling their land and denying those who support them.
In this context, Muhammad Salim said, "The Palestinians apply to them the same: he beat me, cried, preceded me and complained." Khaled Al-Khotair tweeted, "For me, the issue of Palestine is like encouraging the opposing team in an external tournament representing the homeland, so it is necessary to stand by the representative of the homeland, but its audience, management and media. They hate you about it. This is exactly what is happening in the Palestinian cause, a just cause, but its owners have spoiled it. "He concluded by saying," Palestine is not my cause. "
As for Muhammad Saud, he wrote his name in Hebrew and placed the flag of Israel next to the Saudi scientist, and wrote, "Palestine is not my cause, but peace is my cause. Peace is made by the brave."
In addition to the attack on Palestine and its authority and factions, including Hamas, others took the opportunity to distribute insults to Turkey, Qatar and Iran.

Honorable cause
But disavowing the Palestinian cause and attacking the people stationed in the blessed land is not something that the Saudis can accept. Huge numbers of Saudis have tweeted rejecting and denouncing the label "Palestine is not my cause."
Immediately, the Saudis responded to the praise and the flies by saying that it is natural for Palestine not to be their cause, because it is the cause of the honorable, courageous and loyal to the religion and the homeland.
Many Saudis stressed that they are more important to the Palestinian cause than others, due to their historical positions in support of the Palestinian people and because they presented a king for this cause, in reference to the assassination of King Faisal, known for his rejection of the establishment of Israel on the usurped Arab land in 1948.
Many Saudis cited King Faisal’s quote, "The Zionist entity is an enemy, and there is no state called Israel."
Abdel-Rahman wrote, "Palestine is our first cause," attaching his blog to a video in which King Faisal spoke, saying that he would not accept the existence of Israel and the division of Palestine, "and if all the Arabs are satisfied, we will not enter into this agreement with them."
Iman commented by saying: "It is a natural thing. How many times have we told it is only the issue of the honorable. Understand," and another wrote, "Palestine is not my cause but my faith."
Abdel Aziz Al-Tuwaijri tweeted, "Simply Palestine is my issue and the cause of every Muslim," and Tariq added, "My first and last case is eternal."
Maher Ali wrote, "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is obliged to support the Palestinian cause, because it represents the head of the Arabs and Muslims and no one disputes it. It remains so even if some people hate it."
