If Saudi Arabia is broke, it is because of the rapaciousness of their feudal rulers, who have been blackmailing the U.S. for decades.

Last week's issue of Newsweek reports that 5,000 Saudi princes have parked $600 billion in overseas investments. That's over $100 million per prince. Now I guess you will say that the U.S. told them to stash all this cash in London and Paris and Switzerland, instead of spending it on their people, yes?

All Saudi corporations are non-profit in that all profits are skimmed off by a flashy super-rich, royal kleptocracy, which certainly has no equivalent in Israel.
