An outstanding piece plus the Saudi role in determining US policy toward Israel

Submitted by Shalom Freedman (Israel), Aug 10, 2004 at 21:16

This is a detailed summary of a fawning policy toward Saudi bigotry that violates fundamental American values. The policy is a source of humiliation and indignity to the US Government and people.
I suspect that Daniel Pipes has written on another aspect of all this I consider important. The Saudis have a major role in determining the Bush Government policy toward Israel and the Palestinians.Because of the Saudi role the US has bent backwards to excuse and in a way reward Palestinian hostility to Israel. The double- standard against Israel is a self- defeating American policy that has greatly harmed its war on terror.
