The Saudi governemtn is far more theorcratic then Israel. The 'Who is a Jew' issue is important for immigaration, mostly.
Yeah, the Saudi's are more theocratic. Egypt is right up there too and we give them billions also. What does that have to do with the inconsistency of liberals who want us to support a theocratic government abroad but fight school vouchers to religious schools here and get bent out of shape because we have diplomatic ties with the Vatican?
Saudis and Egyptians are, far as I know, not trying to repress religion in America, are not suing when the Ten Commandments are put up in a public building and do not oppose vouchers to religious schools. Most liberal supporters of Israel are and do.
