To maintain power. first, it's protests, second, it's civil war, third, they nuke the "enemy". You think Al Saud are smart, they secretly support Israel, have plenty of global Wahabi presence, etc. But one factor you missed, they are snake smart: for power.

people over there think their government supports Israel? new to me, how did they come to that conclusion?
though thats rather a crude way to maintain power, what makes them think the rest of the world won't go berserk on them? (although you could argue they won't do much , as they won't ever impose sanctions over Saudi oil exports)
No, I said secretly for a reason... rarely do people know that, but they do hold a general view that they are bad. Only if you dig into their "bad" will you know what crap they did. They've used USA as a medium to ending Israeli boycott, opened air borders to them (for Iran), and are plotting with them on some occasions, mostly Iran. The world will do nothing... who would oppose them?well thats the thing, I doubt anybody will boycott Saudi oil exports , and encouraging a regime change might create a less agreeable regime (as is happening in Egypt right now)
thats more a situation of "whos the biggest threat?" , and the Saudis would be quite happy for Israel to do the dirty work for them (even if it does also serve Israel's national interests.
whos to say Saudi Arabia won't go back to the older stance once the threat from Iran is removed?
