Just like when the US and UK teamed up with the Soviet Union against Hitler
Both Saudi Arabia and Israel have deluded themselves into thinking they are the US in that situation - that eventually, the other will collapse under the weight of its inherent contradictions, leaving it as the victor with all the spoils of the Middle East.
The whole comparison is a delusion. Iran is not a democracy, but only an ignorant or a fanatic ultranationalist in Israel could compare the Iranian regime to Nazi Germany. Similarly, Saudi Arabia and Israel are not freedom fighters. The Saudi regime is arguably more oppresive and fundamentalist than the Iranian and its connection to terrorist organizations has been mentioned already. Israel is a state that maintains a prolonged military occupation and has a long record in war crimes and human rights violations. Israel is a flawed democeacy within its legally recognized borders, afflicted by a process of militarization of its politics and society, as well as a state that discriminates minorities and tumbles down into seggregationism.
The conflict in the Middle East is not one of Good against Evil and there is a great deal of cynicism in that Saudi statement. Thank God, Donald Trump did not want to listen John Bolton this time...
