The rallying cry of self-styled sophisticates who demand that Israel cede security has often been "you don't make peace with friends, you make peace with enemies". For some reason, that doesn't seem to apply when those enemies are Jews. Remember how internationalists crowed that the Saudis were reaching out to Israel? Apparently "reaching out" may have been an unfortunate turn of phrase, since Saudis won't actually shake hands with Jews::

Israel is supposed to risk getting wiped out on the slim chance that people steeped in centuries of vicious anti-Semitism will stop trying to wipe them out. But the Saudis won't deign to meet Jews, because that would demean them.
