How do you know they love to do business with Israel.

Nobody is forcing them and they do it. Res ipse loquitor.

Most Arabs would not like Israel to have the strangle-hold on their oil pipeline.

If they don't want it to go through the Israeli pipeline, they shut off the oil, plain and simple. I suspect if it makes them money, they won't complain.

They wouldn't give a damn if an Israeli captain was piloting an oil freighter because if the Israeli captain started being obnoxious there are tons of other ships to use.

Exactly - see answer above - no difference. In fact, Israel would have more invested in the pipeline so less likely to be "obnoxious" as you suggest.

Why can't Israel be happy the USA did away with Iraq for them and leave it at that.

Not one shred of evidence anywhere that it was "FOR" Israel. Fact is, the whole ME is better off. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Syria, Iran are benefited more than Israel.

Nothing wrong with being happy. But that doesn't mean they have to cower and hide. You sound like the bigots in the South who used to say, "Why don't you uppity boys be happy you is at the back of the bus. Youse gettin' a ride ain't ya?" Same difference.

Why don't you consider treating people as people, businessmen as businessment, without the bigotry?
