Saudi people 'shaking hands' with the royal family

I don't know if this is legit, but the description says: "This is an amazing and unbelievable film showing how Saudi people come to the Royal Palace and shake the hands of three people hidden behind three life-size photographs with their right hands sticking out posing as the King and deputies!" :)

Respect??
Show respect for Royalty that can't respect the people enough to show up and shake people's hands personally.

If anything this is a slap in the face to the people/dignitaries there, who are too scared to not go through with the scam.

They deserve to be mocked.

Let's try to show some respect for other cultures, shall we?

I learned that in school.

That's kind of a silly thing to say.
Do you really think they could say anything even if they wanted to?

They have no choice but to return respect, even when it's not given in return. It's their Royalty. And in cultures that are so closely ruled by the system, no one would ever dare speak up against them. (out of fear)
You never speak out against those who rule you. Speaking up against the Saudi Royalty would mean instant death.


Saudi Prince Khaled Bin Farhan Al-Saud, who spoke to RT from Dusseldorf, Germany, confirmed reports of increased prosecution of anti-government activists and said that it’s exactly what forced him to defect from his family. He accused the monarchy of corruption and silencing all voices of dissent and explained how the Saudi mechanism for suppression functioned.

“There is no independent judiciary, as both police and the prosecutor’s office are accountable to the Interior Ministry. This ministry’s officials investigate ‘crimes’ (they call them crimes), related to freedom of speech. So they fabricate evidence, don’t allow people to have attorneys”, the prince told RT Arabic. “Even if a court rules to release such a ‘criminal’, the Ministry of Interior keeps him in prison, even though there is a court order to release him. There have even been killings! Killings! And as for the external opposition, Saudi intelligence forces find these people abroad! There is no safety inside or outside the country.”

The people shaking hands don't seem to mind, so why do you?

There is a youtube comment from Mustafa Jaha which says:


OK so im from Saudi Arabia and the description of the video is wrong.
Here is the truth:
this is a small school in a some area in KSA which wanted to give condolences to the royal family. Thus coming up with this not so brilliant idea. and how the hell do you think that this place is the royal palace ?!? have you ever seen a place that looks like this? its a public school. I'm not very fond of the idea but the thought is what counts.


The first comment in Arabic that I saw was along the lines of "epic fail" (and the others weren't translatable by google translate).
