Cabbage Patch
The Media scene in V is for Vendetta is the clue
Agree with your first paragraph.Agreed 100%. In no way, shape, or form should Israel be involved in an answer to a question regarding making America great again.
Saudi's had too much power over the US while they controlled the oil supply so while the US may not like the political or cultural deprivation in Saudi, we couldn't really say shyt about it without jeopardizing our oil supply. Saudi is just a business partner. Israel is more of a little brother where America can heavily influence Israel in what it wants. Israel would also do whatever needed to be done militarily against Arab countries if the US requested. The Saudi's didn't have that military might or willingness to attack fellow Arabs so Israel became the go-to. Its changed in the past decade though so we'll see how it plays out now that Saudi's are doing their own dirty work.
Also, support for a Muslim state/cause in a Judeo-Christian society is hard to come by.
Its the US who is little brother - NOT the US. Plenty of reactions on tape to back that up.
