Nope. It's a reference to Saudi Arabia. They refer to Saudi Arabia as the Arabian Island all the time. The first time I saw it it was confusing. But look at the maps they draw of Saudi Arabia. It's isolated like an Island.
The Arabic word for island is "al-jazeera" and the Arabic words for "peninsula" is "shba al-jazeera". In actual usage, most of the time al-jazeera is used for island or peninsula.
I suppose for clarity's sake I should start translating it as Arabian Peninsula.

It's a reference to Saudi Arabia. Agreed. In the image, there are even 2 outlines of SA, in the upper left and right corners, but as someone else said -- how many Americans are still in SA? How will they make that "island" run with American blood?
