read Daniel Silva’s “The Messenger” - a very good spy novel - he talks about the incestuousness of Saudi money in Washington
It is not fiction. Every major ivy league school in US has a well funded and very large ME Study Center funded by Gulf and Saudi Arabia. Every American gov official and elected official have an opportunity to become a member of a Arab sovereign investment fund making lucrative salaries for very little work. Ever since 1967 Arabs strategists always wondered how Jews only 3 percent of US population can sway the US to be pro Israel even though the Arabs offer greater strategic advantage and resources during Cold War. Eventually the Arabs figured it out, money and lawyers. Jews used it effectively in US politics now the Arabs have also mastered the process. Today as we speak, Arabs are about 3 percent of US population. In future they will outnumber American Jews. In the meantime they are able to match Jewish money and influence, but in the future they will have the ability to outvote the Jews in the US. It will be interesting to see how the Dems will handle these two important members of their political coalition. More important how the Jews will handle a Dem party that will become more and more pro Arab and anti Israel. Last DNC Convention Israel was booed by delegates. DNC chair ignored the voice vote and proclaimed the pro Israel platform passed. In ten years, the pro Israel platform will be ripped from the DNC and a new one asking the US to help the Arabs to drive the Jews into the sea.
