ormer Saudi General Dr. Anwar Eshki visited Israel last week, alongside a delegation of academics and businessmen, all of whom came with the intended goal to encourage further discussion of the Saudi-led 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.

The Israeli news source Haaretz reported that the delegation met with Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold, the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories Major-General Yoav Mordechai, and several Knesset members from the opposition. ...

Rather dauntingly, the Israeli news site has put a quote from Jeremiah above this story, about lying tongues and iniquity.

Anyway ... some commentators say that the accord between Saudi Arabia and Israel is because of their common front against Iran, and their disquiet at the retreat of the rebels in Syria. This visit may even be to plan a military action.

its really a shame Israel has to deal with these unreliable Islams because Muslim Hussein Obama betrayed them, yet at the same time, if Israel’s Muslim neighbors learn to accept them, and we have a pro-Israel POTUS in the future, perhaps the Islamistinian movement can be ended once and for all.

These two countries seem to be solid allies.

Egypt kicked out the Muslim Brotherhood.

I wish our leaders didn't see the MB as allies, because they are terrorists.

Saudi Royals are packing their bug-out bags.

Who wants to fight for them?

Most mooselimbs despise them. Persia hates Saudis and can’t wait to take them out. Erdogan can’t be the big caliph until he occupies mecca.

Saudi Arabia is still the leading practitioner in slave labor in the world.

If the Israelis are serious about their connection to God and believe they are the chosen people then they shouldn’t even be picking up the phone with the goat-f*ckers call.

This is essentially a Shia-Sunny issue in the region.

Muslims who hate the House of Saud hate them because they are insufficiently Islamic.

Saudi Arabia wants a pipeline to the Mediterranean in case the Persian Gulf becomes unusable and if the Red Sea is blocked by mines. They wanted it to go through Syria. That is a no-go. Israel has apparently offered to serve as the route. This places Saudi Arabia between a theological hard place and a financial rock.

Oh, you mean the initiative that calls for Israel to give up the W. Bank, including E. Jerusalem? If that's the reason for the Saudi visit, they may as get on their camels and ride home.

A very true alliance all the way back from Feisal and Weizmann in 1918 provided a good basis for future cooperation. Lots of expressions of racial kingship and collaboration. That pact guaranteed free immigration into ‘Palestine’ and settlement on the land. Unfortunately Arab Islamic nationalism compromised these historical ties. So it isn’t surprising this rapprochement.
