Arab winter: Israel has urged US to intervene to prop up Saudi monarchy http://mondoweiss.net/2011/05/the-only-democracy-israel-has-urged-us-to-intervene-to-prop-up-saudi-monarchy.html

From the Wall Street Journal, Ted Koppel carries the water from Jerusalem:The Israeli government is so concerned that America’s adversaries may miscalculate U.S. intentions that it is privately urging Washington to make it clear that the U.S. would intervene in Saudi Arabia should the survival of that government be threatened.
