Saudi private views to US embassy during the Israeli war on Lebanon: Wikileaks

"Speaking about the violence in Israel-Lebanon, Malki mentioned that his students were disenchanted with the SAG's handling of the situation. Noting that "they all laughed" about the July 14 statement issued by the SAG, Malki explained that the broader feeling is that Israel over-reacted in their attacks and that the Kingdom should not just pretend to be neutral when innocent Arabs are being killed. Additionally, Angawi noted his deep sadness by the current events and wished that the international community would ascribe the same value to Muslim, Christian and Jewish children. He stated that he felt that the Israeli response was disproportionate to the kidnapping of their soldiers."
