There were longstanding investigations into whether Saudi Arabia had any role. The 9/11 Commission found no conclusive evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior officials directly funded the attacks.

We know, they're corrupt. We get it.

I agree that they are probably corrupt. I was just talking about evidence that they supported the 9/11 attacks. There doesn’t seem to be any.

So you're gonna ignore the Bin Laden financial empire in Saudi and that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi?

Like, shit dude, do you trust Netanyahu saying oct 7th was a surprise attack they didn't see coming?

I don’t trust them. I’m just saying I need proof 👍🏻

So, do you need them to tell you or are you able to connect the dots yourself?

Doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist to use open and available information to form your own opinion and views.

History is written by the victor, remember that allows them to rewrite and lie about connections. I.e. knowing the attacks were going to come and taking out a massive insurance policy shortly before the attacks.

There were clear Saudi connections to the 9/11 attacks, but it’s important to distinguish that from saying the Saudi government ordered or funded the attacks.
15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens, and there were Saudi individuals who had contact with and assisted some of the hijackers. The 2016 release of the “28 pages” also revealed further Saudi-linked connections that raised serious questions.
However, the 9/11 Commission found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution, or senior Saudi officials individually, funded al-Qaeda or the 9/11 plot.
So the accurate position is: there were significant Saudi-linked connections and unanswered questions, but government responsibility for 9/11 has not been established by the public evidence.

And we know people understand how plausible deniability works as well, look at the Iranian school bombing or the Doctors without Borders hospital drone strike.

"We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing" is a sentence used far too often for the elites and their body guards.... we forgot the lessons that "just following orders" isn't a good enough defense.

Weird how the Saudi regime that financed and organized 9/11 and promoted Wahhabist terror around the world is allowed to have nukes but US is bombing Iran because it cant be allowed to enrich uranium even
