Iranian Threats and U.S. Action Regarding Israel

I am convinced that the Saudi royals are less concerned about the Palestinians than they appear.

I'll go further then you. They are not concerned in the least bit tiny amount with anyone called "Palestinians".

They are concerned with the Jews.

No truer words have been spoken.

The Palestinians are nothing more than a ruse. When the Muslims controlled these territories from 48-67 there was no such thing as a Palestinian or a Palestine. This is a group created by fiat with one goal in mind, and that is the destruction of Israel. This is an open secret which has been admitted by the various terrorist leaders over the past 4 decades.

What would happen if the Muzzies were to chase the Jews to Europe which eventually becomes Eurabia? Heck, what happens to any non-muslim in that case? I think most of us have a pretty good idea. Every place these guys gain a foothold discos, buses, pizzerias, hotels etc just start blowing up.

There are two distinct sets of rules which are operative in the Muslim world. One applies to lands presently under Muslim control and the other set applies to those soon to be under their control (pretty much the rest of the planet). I'm not too thrilled with either choice.

Since the military option hasn't worked out too well for the Muslims they're now playing the demographic card. The Quartet has laid out a roadmap which will only lead to murder and mayhem.

You hit the nail on the head concerning the population card. In 30 years France, Germany and Italy will be 50% Muslim. The US has its own problems with illegal immigration primarily from Hispanic countries, but at least these people are Christians and may assimilate and become good Americans. The French have learned that their mostly Algerian immigrants will never become French as they refuse to accept French culture.

The Ottoman empire allowed non-Muslims to live peaceably, but they taxed them with special taxes. Further, in some cases like in Greece, they resorted to oppressive measures. Muslims in Spain during the Middle Ages were more tolerant of Jews than the Christians. However, countries with larger numbers of Muslims that have tolerated other faiths have a definite secular charter (Turkey and Morocco).

US policy is that Israel can/must survive but only on the terms acceptable to Saudi Arabia.

USA as a great power MUST operate according to the rules of realpolitik. Otherwise it will cease to be a great power like imperial Spain ceased or Polish Commonwealth before XVIIIc partitions. And such development would hurt Israel as USA is its main supporter.

For example the invasion of Iran would incur such political and economic loss that America would be seriously weakened.
