Saudis have virtually been unscathed all along because they have basically kept their noses off Israel issues. In two of Israel's wars Israel gave express warnings to both Syria and Jordan that if they dont meddle they will be left alone, but if they do they will be given same treatment given to their enemies. True to their word, where they were left alone people they saved their necks but where they meddled ah, the rest is history.
