As always, I am amazed at the insane weight that Israel has in international affairs. I have been to Israel, great country, very strong country, and I understand their need to be how they are. I just don't get how they sway US policy so much. It really doesn't make any sense.

They have that power because the Ark of the Covenant is an actual weapon. Whether it functions like the one from Indiana Jones as I get teased and mocked with is up for debate. But both Israel and KSA are in possession of some form of advanced ancient technology that grants them virtual diplomatic immunity from any atrocities they commit by way of threat of use of whatever weapons or tech they possess.
