Why would they turn "hostile"?

Because Saudis are not Israelis.

pumping Saudi oil through Haifa or something is totally in Israel's interest.

Or we're seeing a permanent realignment in global energy movement. Which would be a good thing.

US production cannot be ramped up, overnight, to replace all the crude coming from the Gulf. The result is the USian oil will be rationed by ability to pay. You don't think rising US crude prices will negatively impact the US economy?
