History of Saudi Arabia

Submitted by Gary Epstein (United States), Jun 2, 2017 at 07:58

My understanding of the modern history of the Middle Wast is that Saudi Arabia is the only Arab country that has not been governed by the forces of the West. If that is correct then wouldn't Saudi hostility toward Israel be based mostly on the Islamic religion?
