Those familiar with Walid’s work in God’s War on Terror likely won’t find this news to be all that shocking in a big picture context. It is, nonetheless, very noteworthy. The west tends to assume that the Muslim world hates the Jews more than those who practice opposing strains of Islam. In reality, when the rubber meets the road, alliances with Israel can be far more pragmatic, which contributes to the credibility of this report.
A report by a well-known journalist revealed that Saudi Arabia has provided financial backup for the Israeli Mossad agency’s terror operations on Iran’s nuclear scientists.
The collaboration between Mossad and Riyadh was unveiled by Barry Lando in an article titled “A Strange Alliance: Are the Saudis Bankrolling Israel’s Mossad?”
Barry M. Lando, a graduate of Harvard and Columbia University, spent 25 years as an award-winning investigative producer with 60 Minutes. His latest book is “Web of Deceit: The History of Western Complicity in Iraq, from Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush.”
If there was a country Iran hated more than Israel, it’d be Saudi Arabia (and vice versa).
Should Iran acquire nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia could be in more danger than Israel.
The Israelis are not naive about this reality.
