4) Israel is not a trusted ally. They care about Israel first and foremost. No fault in that but getting involved is not in their best interest.
5) Hell, we would probably be tempted to grab the jiffy pop too...the head of OPEC and the regional military power slugging it out wouldn't affect us much.(Less serious point but still kinda serious.)

You don't get it, do you? This would be no "Desert Storm". This would be a world conflict due to the oil assets of SA, and whether we would want Israel to be involved or whether Israel wants to cool its jets and sit it out on the sidelines would be irrelevant because once the super powers become involved, there would be no other option for Israel but to protect itself and side with the U.S.. There would be no bystanders or armchair quarterbacks in this kind of a conflict. Well....maybe France.
