re: #578 Obdicut

No. The US’s relationship with Saudi Arabia and many other Arab states clearly shows that we’re not just on Israel’s ‘side’, though that’s an awkward way of putting it.

The Saudi government spreads anti-Israel propaganda. We are allies with Saudi Arabia.

Those of us who think we are too kindly to Israel, think of how kindly we are to Saudi Arabia.

True but it’s hard to ignore that the 9-11 hijackers were Saudis and that Bin Laden is/was a Saudi and still has Saudi backers. I would assume if there was a straight up Saudi vs Israel conflict that we’d come down squarely on the side of the Israelis. Perhaps that’s a poor assumption.
