Are the Saudis really crazy enough to let the Israelis across their airspace?

They let them across and it will be World War III.

1. Yes... they are really worried about that revolution

something about Shia vs sunni...

4. Add Wahhabists to the mix, and it's a Muslim on Muslim 3 way. n/t

2. If this happens consider that Israel might have its ass handed to them

I'm all for Israel's nationhood - which is why I really hope they don't do this.

It would be suicide

12. By who?

13. Oh I dunno, a replay of the 7 day war with Nukes

All kinds of bad things could happen

3. This explains the rectum bomber in Jeddah. n/t

5. This is a dream situation for the Saudis. They don't give a shit about the Jews or the Iranians

The question is, do the Saudis have export terminals on the Red Sea? If so, let'em kill each other. If not, Saudis are going to be relying on US Navy to keep the Gulf open and that could be a problem.

Remember those hypersonic torpedoes the Iranians bought?

6. The Saudis hate the Iranians almost as much as they hate the Israelis

7. The thing of it is,

I think the Saudis trust the Israelis to be the miserable pricks they've always been. The Iranians they trust to be crazy.....

8. I wouldn't trust the Daily Express to wrap fish with

Basically there is no way to verify this sort of thing so they just make up whatever. This is absolutely not a reliable source, folks. When it comes to UK newspapers, the Guardian, the Times and the Independent are the only ones really worth paying attention to. The Telegraph is OK but not great (very conservative) and the Financial Times is extremely reliable, but not many people outside the business world read it.

9. Yes!

10. Israeli's are great for propaganda, to keep their citizens mad...

at someone else. But Iran is Shia, and the argument between Shia and Suni goes back to the beginning. The Saudi's are very concerned that Iran seems to be the leader of a Shia Crescent composed of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon part of Syria terminating in the Gaza Strip.

Yes, they would let the Israeli's fly through their airspace. Especially if it has a chance of getting Iran to retaliate the US and get us involved in a war that would require us to bomb Iran back to the stone age.

11. I don't think the Saudis could do much about Israel

anyway. Israel has our best weapons and about a hundred nukes.
