It has always fascinated me how the Israelis hate the Saudis so much particularly since the Saudis have spent the past 53 years ignoring them.
I was particularly offended by that idiot character who went to NY and waved the check under Rudy's nose. And the Saudis may 'ignore' Israel in your estimation but they give aid and comfort to the Palestinians and pressured the USA on the matter, using 9-11 as leverage. Unseemly.
Makes total sense to me.
Saudi Arabia has financed terrorism under the table for decades, and Israel until recently has borne the brunt of it.
The only thing new is that now the rest of the world is beginning to notice the connection.
