NO. All has to do with the fact that Israel is the JEWISH State.  You can tell yourself anything you want to avoid the truth, but you can't escape it.

Israel is a schizophrenic state that claims to be secular, but also Jewish.  If it can't be honest with itself, why does it expect more from others?

Miraj

The US is Christian but secular

The UK is officially Christian but secular

Turkey is Muslim but secular

should I go on?

Only politicians and Bible thumpers consider the US or the UK to be Christian.  In reality, they're not.  Turkey bends over backwards not to be Muslim.  Israel will eventually learn to stop wishing everyone thinks it's the "Jewish state", but, those who do can enjoy it while the delusion lasts.

Since Israeli policies are disliked by common people, Saudis work covertly with Israel in many areas. Also Israel is known to help and work with many ME dictatorships. It is nothing new.

Saudis also made few attempts to broker peace between Palestinians and Israelis. King Abduallah lead all arabs nations and gave a good proposal but Israel refused it.

I do not think Al- Saud administration want to wipe out Israel.

Maybe idiots at Fox News do not understand the difference between Iranians and Saudi Arabians. They ALSO forget that, one of the owners of Fox network (Second largest shares after Murdock!) is a Saudi citizen (A Saudi prince and well known investor!) as well.

Despite some short comings Saudis have been most "Reliable" allies of the USA since IKE was the president.

Guess it's never too late to learn things. ........

My point is that no Muslim State will  ever have genuinely good diplomatic relations with Israel. The Muslim world runs from Algeria to Bangladesh with only India and Israel breaking their geographic succession of countries that spans the Old World.

>>>>>>> The "Muslim world" actually runs all the way to Indonesia. There is a large province in China with a lot of Muslim population.

Since Israel did not even exist (After Biblical time) for very long in modern times, we are not there to say they will never be recognized.

For example, Turkey had excellent relationship with Israel for many decades. Since IDF killed some Turkish citizens (And an American one) in the high seas, it is a little cool now but for the longest time it was no less than excellent. From defense to political idealogy they worked as a team.

So your "Theory" is not based on ground reality. Even USA did not have "Great" relations with the Jews during holocaust but later that changed. So if you base your comments on facts, I would say anything is possible when our intentions are good.

You probably don't even hear yourself talk.  You said "Turkey had excellent relationship with Israel for many decades." speaking of a political relationship with Israel and then compared it with "Even USA did not have "Great" relations with the Jews during holocaust".  Even you cannot admit that there isn't a good Muslim relationship with JEWS, even with Turkey.

Military cooperation was at heart of Turkey-Israel ties

By Agence France-Presse on Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Ankara: Intense military cooperation was the driving force behind a decade-long boom in Turkish-Israeli ties, now in crisis over a deadly raid on aid ships bound for the Gaza Strip, among them Turkish vessels.

Relations have deteriorated since Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip in late 2008, and were poisoned in January when Turkey's envoy to Tel Aviv was given a public dressing down by Israel's deputy foreign minister in a row over a Turkish television series on the plight of the Palestinians.

NATO's sole predominantly Muslim member and the Jewish state signed a landmark military cooperation accord in 1996, much to the ire of Arab countries and Iran, marking the outset of what was called "a strategic partnership."

The pact eased Israel's isolation in a hostile Arab neighborhood, while Turkey gained an ally against Syria, then an arch-foe, and access to advanced military technology.

In the first major projects after the accord, Israeli companies were awarded contracts, worth some 700 million dollars, to modernize about 100 Turkish F-4 and F-5 fighter jets, and sold Turkey rockets and electronic equipment.

In 2002, Israeli Military Industries won a 668-million-dollar tender to upgrade 170 M60 tanks, the delivery of which was completed in April.

Another deal, worth 183 million dollars, involves the manufacture of 10 unmanned aircraft and related surveillance equipment for the Turkish army in a joint venture led by Israel Aerospace Industries.

The project, launched in 2005, has been delayed amid technical snags and political tensions.

Other deals have been concluded silently, with some defense experts estimating that in 2007 alone, military equipment accounted for 69 percent of the 2.6-billion-dollar bilateral trade volume.

Ankara, for its part, offered an opportunity for Israel's air force to train in a vast airspace unavailable in its own country, as part of joint drills in central Turkey.

The two armies have also jointly held naval exercises in the Mediterranean as well as search-and-rescue drills.

Turkey is also said to have allowed Israel access to its radars in monitoring Iranian and Iraqi air space, while other deals have involved the exchange of military students and expertise on chemical weapons protection.

In 1998, Turkey's alliance with Israel was seen as crucial to cajole Syria into expelling Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan from his long-time safe haven in Damascus after Ankara threatened military action.

In 1999, Israeli soldiers were at the forefront of international efforts to rescue survivors from a devastating quake in northwestern Turkey, with one complex of prefabricated homes in the region named the "Israeli village."

Military cooperation was accompanied by a boost in economic ties and a flurry of cultural contacts.

Turkey offered to ship water to Israel to relieve its chronic shortage, although the project finally proved too costly and was dropped in 2006.................

BDboy, you missed the whole point.  You are trying to prove that there is no inherent hatred toward Jews and you use Turkey's relations with Israel as proof.  You still have not been able to separate the idea of politics from down-right Jew hatred.

I think there is more inherent hatred against Muslims and Christians by Zionists.

The Zionist occupation remains because the Palestinians are non-Jews, had they been Jews they would've been assimilated into the State of Israel.

Occupation is built on hatred, lest we forget.
