As pointed out in post 14 and others, the administration has been strongly supportive of Israel but now is moving toward pressuring Israel for more concessions while not demanding the same of the muslims.
To me this has the stink of the classic mad dash for a presidential mideast legacy ala Bill Clinton and Mad Maddy Albright.
Whatever your feelings about the article consider this observation:
"Submitting to Saudi demands, the Americans prohibited Israeli representatives from entering the hall through the same door as the Arabs."
"It is unfathomable to consider this with any other race, creed or color. Imagine separate entrances for the leader of an African nation because a "white" leader refused to walk through the same door as the black man, because it would be unclean?"
This is not how great nations treat their friends.
Israelis did not murder 3,000 Americans, but Saudi Arabians did.
Why does the administration make concessions to the Saudi Arabians while treating Israelis as lepers?
This administration owes the Israeli people an apology.
