No way I ever expected this but it's a good thing, especially with other countries joining in.  It looks like the M.E. countries, besides Israel, are finally seeing the threat posed by Iran.

Iran is Shite muslim, a minority in the Muslim world and Saudi Arabia is Sunni the majority in the Muslim world

They are enemies, thats why SA is cosy with Israel...because Israel is armed to the teeth, and offers SA a sense of security. That is why Iran feels threatened and is purchasing the billion dollar DEFENCE hardware.

Yes, this is at the bottom of the enmity between Iran and Saudi Arabia.  Also it is Persians versus Arabs, two different histories and cultures.  The Shia-Sunni conflict is behind the troubles in Yemen also.  

The fact is that Iran is a major threat to the whole region, and Russia allying itself with Iran is a very dangerous alliance.  On the one hand Russia wants to destroy ISIS, but on the other hand it wants to be allied to the primary source of state-sponsored terrorism.  Go figure that.

If Israel can gain the support of several Sunni Muslim countries, that will maintain the balance of power against Hamas and Hezbollah supported by Iran.  Obama's anti-Israel and anti-Semitic stance has caused a lot of confusion and turmoil in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world.   If one is to believe the official accounts of 9/11 it was OBL (a Saudi) and 15 of 19 hijackers (were Saudis)...but the American business interests override comon sense in this area...did we invade Saudi Arabia?   Nope. Invaded Iraq and Afghanistan instead, at the request of the Saudis...crooked politicis? You bet...

Keep in mind that ISIS and other Jihad groups really hate the Saudi Family and would like to see them go....   It is part of the people of Saudi Arabia that is the problem......

There is often a huge gap between the government of Arabia and the clerics, which have the true power among the people.  But they did supply oil to Israel during the war with Iraq, if I remember right.  They have always been strange bedfellows.  I don't remember Arabia or Egypt being mentioned in the Bible as among the enemies of Israel.  But Turkey is mentioned as one of the ancient tribes  occupying part of Turkey is listed.  It is fascinating to watch events get in to line for the last days battles.  We live in exciting times.  

the vision:  Mine eyes have seen the coming of the glory of the Lord; He has loosed the faithful lightening of His terrible swift sword;  He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;  His truth is marching on.

Saudi Arabia is dedicated to Wahhabbsm I thought. Just as Daesh is.
