The Saudi-Israeli Conspiracy: the plot thickens

This is quite a step. The mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, printed (by "exclusive" arrangement as it bragged to its readers) a letter to the Arab world by none other than Israeli zealot, Danny Ayalon, who won on the list of Yisrael Beiteinu in the last Israeli election. He tells the Arab world--again Israeli Orientalists are quite funny in their ignorance: they really think that Arab public opinion follows the editorials of Saudi propagandists and take their political clues from them--that the Israeli government of Netanyahu is peaceful and that the enemy is Iran. Of course, the alliance between Arab regimes and the most ultra-right-wingers in Israel is not new. The lousy King Husayn supported Netanyahu in 1996, as revealed in Ashton's book on the king who prevented his first wife from seeing her own daughter for long years.
