We have the Saudis (What a wonderful bunch!), and OPEC who know that we are fighting a war to free their fellow muslims from tyranny, and they just keep jacking up the price of oil to help the effort!
The Palestinian situation infuriates me. When a homicide bomber strikes Israel its Israel's fault? What kind of logic is that? With all of the land available in the Middle East the Palestinians have to have Israel? Not even their Arab/Muslim brothers want them in their countries, but Israel must accommodate them somehow. It makes no sense.
We are hated around the world because we think that goodness is its own message and that eventually others will recognize and appreciate it. A little self-promotion wouldn't hurt.
As for Israel, they will always, always have my support against this muslim scourge, for in supporting Israel we help ourselves.
"I remember when the Israeli consul Yuval Rotem was here in Los Angeles. I never knew whether he didn't like me personally or considered it beneath himself to go on a local talk show and talk about Israel. Nevertheless, despite repeated requests, I could never get him or any representatives to come on my television show."
Maybe it's because he can spot an irritating, paranoid whiner.
