Obama ,turn your back on Israel or the oil will stop flowing! That is the hidden message to President Obama from this Saudi Prince! Oil Diplomacy is nothing new, "oil diplomacy" was instituted several years before Israel became an independent state! In 1939 the British White Paper banned further Jewish immigration to Palestine! British foreigh policy simply appeased the Arabs and with complete selfishness,the U.S.along with many other countries refused to accept the European Jews.
Because of this selfish act six million Jews were brutally murdered in the Holocaust! Oil diplomacy by the Arabs threat, of our way or no oil caused this heinous crime and brought dishonor to the names of these intimidated nations,and now this present day Saudi Prince is at it again, it must be assumed that his theory is,if it worked once,it will work again! I pray that President Obama will not fall for this ploy!
