Saudi Arabia offers Germany 200 mosques

Interesting to note that the Saudis have taken in zero refugees yet are willing to pay for hundreds of new mosques in Germany.

Saudi Arabia is what Israel is for the Jews, why don't they take any of their people? So much for the "brotherhood"

"Saudi Arabia is what Israel is for the Jews". -- Not exactly

Saudi Arabia is more like a family cartel, for the family to enrich themselves. In a past generation the Saud family who were rulers made a pact with another tribe who were warlike and wielded religious power to support their rulership if the Saud's would support their religious power. This pact still stands today. This is why you see Saudi Arabia financing mosques in great numbers for the radical Salafis all over the world. This is also why Saudi Arabia is financing muslim departments in universities in western countries and in order to spread islam. They're not interested in anything that is going to upset the apple cart including taking refugees.

This is not the only agreement the family has to stay in power. They support oil trading in US dollars to keep our economy from collapsing and invest dollars here spreading islam along the way (such as in part ownership of textbook publishing and media and mosques), and we protect them militarily whether we want to or not.

You are putting things in a wrong context.

Israel is the "Holly Land" that God has given to Abraham ( and his people.)
Saudi Arabia is the birth place of Islam with its Mecca;

"As the birthplace of Muhammad and the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Quran (specifically, a cave 3 km (2 mi) from Mecca),[5][6] Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam[7] and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca

There is a reason you see that Koran is Saudi Arabia's constitution.
And there is a reason you see why the US, while trying to support Israel, is simultaneously controlled by Saudi Arabia. ( But that's already a different story.)

So much hate, and they are cousins from way back.

Nicely put, the same politics played by Al Assad in his own country....that is turning against him. Saudis are smarter, their allies are the US and the west....

Al Assad's allies and advisors, Russia and Iran...that's why he only holds 20 percent of the country.
