Saudi are sunni muslims. They hate iran and hizballah because they are shiite muslims. Hizballah took a stand which was pro-israeli. They hate jews and christians but the feuds going on between them and shiite muslims is worst. Also they are following there ally the US. Saudi could control the US but refuse to because they are ignorant since they inherit there wealth and dont need to study.

The Saudi government is in a very precarious position, being ruled by a general consensus of a Royal family which has opposing points of view. It is very difficult to understand, but oftentimes, one side allows the other to support certain things and turns a blind eye toward them. It seems like a very odd way too, except that to try and change it might erupt in a civil war; each knows which side of the pita has the olive oil.
There is an almost official hatred of the Jews in Saudi, from a religious context, but they also recognize in their sane moments that hating Israel is counter-productive. For example, the color blue the Israelis use is almost completely banned in favor of the Saudi green. The only open disagreement with anyone in Islam is that the Saudis insist that their gulf be labeled the ARABIAN Gulf rather than the Persian Gulf. Iran is,of course, Persia.
The answer to your question is that the government cannot afford to make an unpopular decision with certain factions. The Saudis, although powerful, are almost a house of cards. There are a few modern books which discuss this very issue and what would happen if there were civil war in Saudi Arabia. Please see an excellent article written several years ago below.

All the U.S. needs to do is fulfill all of the treaty that ended WWI with the Ottoman empire. The Jew country of Israel was created (1948), Kuwait was annexed from Iraq (1922) and the treaty [ratified by the U.S. Senate] created a Palestinian country. Where is the Palestinian country? The Palestinians in Israel (all 1.2 million of them) have no legal rights and basically live under Marshall Law as dictated by the Jews. The Palestinians have lived there longer than the Jews, why can't Israel accept that? The reason is that the Jews are racist. If all the Muslims [all 1.7 billion of them] wanted Israel destroyed, all of the American weapons given to the Jews would not be enough.
The real question is: Why does the U.S. support the racist country of Israel?

Remember Saudis are Wahhabi Muslim. They love to see other Muslims kill each other.
Wahhabi is like the aristocracy of Islam After all they have Mecca. They look down on other sects of Islam with extreme prejudice. Not only do they want all the Shea to die they have helped fan the fires of war to insure the destruction of both Shea and Sunni.

Yes, the do hate Jews, and tolerate Christian Infidels only because of all the money we send their way. But I think the real reason is because they have their own large fundamentalist Muslum movement in their country, whom have tried several violent attacks against them already. So anything they do that might be seen as helping Israle could help bring about their own downfall. And by the way, its Saudis :)

Imagine you living right in the middle of a ghetto with your family filled with gangs, rapes, robberies, vandalism, when it gets too bad in the neighborhood, someone calls the police and they come running to settle it. No matter what the police do or how many time they come running, nothing changes, same hate and killing for the others street corner.
If you are where you are and have no way to get out of the environment, What would you do? Do you want anyone to know that you were the one that called the police? Are you going to try and re-mediate their problems?
