That's what you believed, but the truth is Bush Sr. was no friend of Israel (which why it is surprising that Jr. is). Bush Sr. had a history of rebuffing the Israelis.
There have been stranger allies during war. Enemies frequently come together to oppose common enemies who are perceived even worse.
