Get some facts, brainbox. The UAE OFFICIALLY DOES NOT recognize Israel...and they provide financial support for both Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They still technically are in a state of war with Israel....spare me the Kool Aid.
They play both sides. This doesn't mean that they haven't been very helpful in the WOT, but lets not elevate them to Sainthood just yet, huh?

Not sainthood, just realpolitik. They will not recognize Israel until there is an Arab consensus. They are much to small to rock the boat. Like Jordan, they will recognize Israel when its profitable and safe. Terrorism is so bad for business when you are trying to become a tourist spot. BTW, they don't check for Israeli stamps on entry.
