What do you do when you\’re stuck with an ally you detest?  You note that the ally is terrible….and then agree with the position it takes.

That is the situation Saudi Arabia\’s Sheiks are faced with. 

See, they fear Iran\’s nuclear progress every bit as much as Israel does. Therefore, preventing a nuclear Iran has, however improbably, brought them together. 

Which is why the Saudi-backed Al Arabiya\’s Editor in Chief of its English-language arm, Faisal J. Abbas, put out an article today, which says this:

“Itis extremely rare for any reasonable person to ever agree withanything Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says or does.  However, one must admit, Bibi did get itright, at least when it came to dealing with Iran.

“Whatis absurd, however, is that despite this being perhaps the only thingthat brings together Arabs and Israelis (as it threatens them all),the only stakeholder that seems not to realize the danger of thesituation is President Obama, who is now infamous for being thelatest pen-pal of the Supreme Leader of the World\’s biggestterrorist regime: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (Although, the latter neverseems to write back!).”

Yes, it is true.  I am not on the Kickapoo joy juice or LSD.  A Saudi Arab actually wrote that in a Saudi Newspaper.

And in case you think it is the only one, here is what Dr. Ahmad Al-Faraj, a columnist for the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah, has written about the Netanyahu speech and Barack Obama\’s disdain for it:

“Iwill conclude by saying the following: Obama is the godfather of theprefabricated revolutions in the Arab world, and he is the ally ofpolitical Islam, [which is] the caring mother of [all] the terroristorganizations, and he is working to sign an agreement with Iran thatwill come at the expense of the US\’s longtime allies in the Gulf.

“I am very glad of Netanyahu\’s firmstance and [his decision] to speak against the nuclear agreement atthe American Congress despite the Obama administration\’s anger andfury.

“I believe that Netanyahu\’s conductwill serve our interests, the people of the Gulf, much more than thefoolish behavior of one of the worst American presidents.”

We understand, don\’t we, that these words would not – could not – ever be written without the approval of the powers that be in Riyadh.

So we now know the Saudi position is that Barack Obama is blowing this so badly that the hated Israel and its hated Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, look good by comparison.

And don\’t doubt that this feeling is shared by other Arab states in the Middle East, which are just as threatened by Iran as the Saudis are. 

I wonder when – if ever – this reality will dawn on some of Mr. Obama\’s fellow Democrats…and some of my fellow “Lost Tribe” Jews.
