I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years (US Army COE) and and familiar with the history of that country and the Middle East. I do not believe that the Saudi Royal family directs our foreign policy vis-a-vis Israel.

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

As for this comment:
"Here is a tiny country with less than 1/600 the land mass of the surrounding 22 odd Muslim states and she is being coerced to give up what little land she possesses."

While I totally support Israel and its continued security, Israel cannot continue to occupy large population centers of Arab population. Israel has been attacked time and time again and had been "in the right" in seizing real estate in order to protect itself. However, to permanently convert the West Bank into Israel would in effect create a state with either:

1) a huge population of people without civil rights;or
2) if you granted such rights, relegate Jews to minority status.

The Arabs need to learn to govern themselves. Prime Ministers of Israel to date have articulated this.
US policy has never been more favorable to Israel than it has under Bush, with Condi Rice as Sec of State. I believe that Bush and Sharon were on the same page. God Bless PM Sharon.

I say build the fence/wall and if the Palestinians won't negotiate a boarder, then create the border that leaves out the bulk of Palestinian population.

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.
