Call me easily hooked, but I'll bite.

ISRAEL HAS NO OIL. PERIOD. IN THE PAST, OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL HAS ONLY LED TO OIL EMBARGOS BY OPEC AS A MAJORITY OF OPEC HATES ISRAEL.

The reason people like Bin Laden, the Saudis, etc hate Israel is because they can't accept that 1) Muslims are living in a nation in which Jews are the majority and make most of the governmental decisions and 2) DESPITE a lack of oil and other mineral resources, Israel is THE most technologically advanced, wealthy, and progressive nations in the Middle East (and among the most technologically advanced and wealthy in the world). And they've been under seige from all borders for 54 years.

It's funny. We're a science board and yet, we're still inundated with ignorance. How many biomedical, technological, physics, etc papers do you see coming out of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, etc? Now how many do you see coming out of Israel? THAT'S why the US likes Israel.
